In case you want to download genuine Windows ISOs you can use https://tb.rg-adguard.net. It's a simple website that uses some sort of MS API to generate download links (directly from Microsoft servers). AFAIK MS does not publish checksums of their ISOs anymore, which means you have to rely on trusted sources to compare hashes, but at least it is a download directly from MS servers instread of some random torrent.
I've downloaded virtually every release ISO of Windows 10 going back to the first one.

I use carbon steel pans on a ceramic electric stovetop and they work perfectly. If you don't like Western style pans and you still want to use a wok, then you can get a wok where the centre is flat (many woks are built that way so it should't be too hard to find one), and it will work the same way as the pans I use.

Most industry protections against liabilities are predicated on compliance with expectations about responsibility: the protection against liability is earned. For example, firearm manufacturers are protected from being held liable for actions taken with their firearms as long as they comply with their legal responsibilities, like not selling firearms to children. If a firearms manufacturer sold firearms to children, they would absolutely be held liable for the outcomes.

If you knowingly build software that can be used for money laundering and make no effort to prevent money laundering then, if software was treated like other industries, you’d absolutely expect to be held liable.

> why can't real estate work the same way?

So I'll tackle this...

Food is highly responsive to market pressure because it is nearly entirely fungible. I'll throw this here for the sake of making sure we're on the same page when I say that

---

Fungible: able to replace or be replaced by another identical item; mutually interchangeable.

---

So food markets are sensitive to pressure because there is hardly ever anything special about the food any one entity produces. Someone charging too much for corn? Go buy identical corn, that fills exactly the same need from any one of the thousands of their competitors. "Organic" was, in large parts, an effort to make food that is less easily replaced, and is mostly marketing rather than quality or health related (seriously, go google some of the chemicals that we allow to be added to organic food).

In contrast to food - Real estate is very rarely fungible. A specific plot of land has characteristics that often make it very hard to replace. Whether that's proximity to people or locations or features themselves such as soil, water, grade (slope, slant), existing structures, mineral presence ,etc. Non of those are consistent between different plots of land (there's a reason "Location, Location, Location" is a saying).

So no - Personally, I don't believe that real estate will ever be able to be treated in a similar way as the food market. Desire for it is predicated too much on aspects other than mere "acres" of it that you can get.

Imagine if just finding the right steak to eat was enough to make you rich for life, or if that ear of corn was where your family has been buried for centuries, or if that lima bean reduced your commute from a 2 hour drive to a 5 minute walk. I think we'd see pretty insane food prices then as well.
> It maybe "great" and mildly "popular" here and there

VS Code is not just mildly popular, it's significantly more than twice as popular as any text editor has ever been in the modern era.

Source, it's currently used by 74% of programmers (https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#technology-most-popula...), the next highest text editor, since the survey started in 2015, was Sublime Text in its prime (2016) at 31%.

It's fair to call VS Code's popularity unprecedented and historic. And it's already being used to shape the future of the industry. E.g., we're watching the decline of local development right now (outside of specialized use cases) largely through VS Code's support for remote development features.

This is most likely just beginning of how VS Code will leverage its position to shape the future of programming.
What's wrong with rooftop solar? Seems like a great use for an otherwise unused roof?
It should. The slow erosion of diversity of food production has put the nation at risk.

In Hong Kong, it's not a problem of over-densification. There's loads of unused land, but the government is incentivised to keep it empty and not zone it for high-density residential. When they do sell off a small parcel of land for new development, they auction it off leading to obscene land prices.

That's what OP means about there not being an incentive for the government to lower cost of living. The high cost of living is subsidising HK's notoriously low taxes.

There's a pretty good YouTube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLrFyjGZ9NU

Oh and to answer the question, the solution is to zone lots more high-density residential, sell a lot of land for less money, and stop subversively taxing the poorest citizens via high CoL. Tax businesses and the wealthy to make up for it. But they're not going to do that, because low taxes on businesses and the wealthy is their USP.

Turns out when you optimise a city for business wellbeing at the expense of citizen wellbeing, then it impacts citizen wellbeing...

>but you should continuously pay everyone else for it's exclusive use.

So pay rent to the state instead of a private landholder?

I found your first paragraph very agreeable and convincing, but this feels like it's just passing the problem on up to the state. Would you just be suggesting that any ownership of land outside of a a single home or apartment be heavily rented/taxed to the government, or literally all use of space used exclusively (e.g. a private bedroom)?

I've programmed for a long time. One of the best programmer's I've known actually had his own debugger. He was an OS kernel developer and carried the debugger with him from job to job; we were working on the new operating system at IBM that would become AIX. He was a bit of a nuisance in the large development organization because he would wander around the kernel in his debugger fixing code before others had even noticed the defects.

We were working on a distributed file system, and I had complained that we couldn't be expected to finish on the same deadline as the hardware device driver teams and the network stack teams. How would we even develop our software if we didn't have any working communication between machines? Well, my friend came to the rescue and wrote the kernel support for the NIC and a comm stack up to the level of UDP (having a debugger helped).

Eventually, the managers of the other departments that wouldn't cut my team any slack on our schedule started coming around to ask us for help because they were falling behind schedule. They were responsible for the official development of the network device drivers and networking, and it turned out they didn't have a working kernel debugger like we had (thanks to my friends personal one), so they had fallen behind schedule while we were already making good time on our distributed file system running on top of the our own hacked together temporary device drivers and networking code. I had to lend the teammate and his debugger to the other two teams to help them with their schedules.

Autodesk have jumped the shark with their recent cloud pricing options. New users will be priced out of the software, and will use anything else other than the Autodesk family of products. This may take a generation, but Autodesk have made a conscious decision to be less and less relevant over the next decade or so.

Adobe are on the same path, but not quite so aggressively. They may still see the writing on the wall and back out before they become history.
That is an argument against greedy hoarding, not home ownership.

This sort of idiocy is why I removed the modem from my Niro EV: https://www.kianiroforum.com/threads/how-to-remove-head-unit...

(It is basically the same head unit, Kias/Hyundais share a lot of components.)

IMO Kia makes great cars but I don't trust them with Internet security. Android device permanently connected to the Internet with unfettered access to the CAN bus of my car....no thank you. And even if it was relatively secure today, I doubt it will get security updates for the 10+ years I expect to have the car, if at all.

I'm glad folks can now sign their own firmware to run on their own cars, but what else is vulnerable in these things?

The car is amazing otherwise, and I'm glad Kia does not seem to use the modem for any anti-features, so the car is totally fine with removing it.

Thomas Sowell - Basic Economics:

Chapter 1: What is Economics?

“The fundamental principles of economics are not hard to understand, but they are easy to forget, especially amid the heady rhetoric of politics and the media.” In Chapter 1 of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell introduces the concept of economics, scarcity, and productivity:

Economy – a system for the production and distribution of the goods and services we use in everyday life

Economics – the study of the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses

Scarcity – the wants of everyone add up to more than what exists; without scarcity, there would be no need for economics

Productivity – the effectiveness of effort as measured at the rate at which inputs are turned into outputs

Role of Economics – helps us try to make decisions that make the most of the options that we are presented with in life, especially when allocating resources

Chapter 2: The Role of Prices

In Chapter 2 of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell discusses the importance of prices and shows how resources are allocated:

Market Economy – an economic system in which production and prices are determined by unrestricted competition between individuals and businesses, not central planners

Transactions – the instance of buying or selling between consumers, producers, retailers, landlords, or workers on whatever terms they can mutually agree on

Prices – an amount of money that conveys the terms of the transaction not just to the individuals immediately involved but throughout the entire economic system

Supply – the tendency of producers to supply more at a higher price and less at a lower price; the quantity supplied varies directly with the price

Demand – the tendency of consumers to buy more at a lower price and less at a higher price; the quantity demanded varies indirectly with the price

The counter example to the OP's point about housing is agriculture? When we just had a story about how Bill Gates is now the US's largest land owner? When Farm AID was started to assist local farmers from corporate encroachment 40 years ago?! This whole thread points out how people who claim that the US has free markets are really deluding themselves. The FEDERAL government is heavily involved in EVERY non-trivial aspect of our PERSONAL lives, and they pick the winners and losers. It truly, truly sucks, but this trend of investment banks getting involved in buying up real estate, and driving up prices of home ownership is NOT going to go away. Owning a home will become so expensive that only corporations will be able to do so, and rent/lease it back to you. We truly are becoming a capitalistic country, and either you'll have "capital," or you won't. It's modern feudalism.
Because you can make more food but god ain't making any more land.

It's difficult to know without the context, but inserting/removing from a linked list is so simple it's probably shorter than a function call, and due to the limitations about how parameter passing works in C and many other languages, the code may even be cognitively simpler without the function call.

In such a context, the only cost of not creating a function is that you make the code harder to refactor... hardly a concern for a game developer.
Linux definitely lags behind macOS and mobile operating systems with the maturity and integration of sandboxing options for GUI apps. Hopefully Flatpak (or XDG Portals with just a policy system or something) can fill that gap for most apps in the future.

And Linux users can typically expose themselves to the same shit as Mac users with Zoom here: when they grab proprietary DEBs for Discord or Google Chrome or whatever, those can run scripts that mess with the whole filesystem or call out to the internet at install time. It's only by convention that those behaviors are forbidden in the normal repos on most distros.

I don't love that the only repository-like option that's part of the normal system is the App Store, or that it doesn't come with an official CLI. I can see how some small proprietary software authors trying to make a living might resent being funneled toward a platform where Apple takes their cut, and I empathize. But for end users, I still think centralizing app updates into one system and taking the implementation details out of the hands of app developers/publishers is the only thing that makes sense, even if that always means going with the App Store.
Different computers, different internet connections, even in completely different parts of the world. Maybe Google just has a vendetta against me.
> How many “global warming deniers” (99% of whom just believe humans aren’t the primary cause) are banned from discussion? All of them.

You only have so much time for nonsense. There's no question that humans are driving climate change at this point. Might as well ask why we don't accept papers arguing for flat Earth.

> For instance, if a volcano erupts and blacks out a region relying on solar… you’re out of luck.

These usually relies on TPM. Which is always designed as 'no private key can be extracted physically'.

If your hardware enhanced wallet relies on SGX, It sounds it is defected as it shouldn't be readable after first write at first place.

And why did you think you need signing key for SGX to extract info from it? You only need the decrypt key (Which is already been pwned). Lack of signing key only prevent you from running random program in SGX but not decrypt existing one.
I'll try, because the incentives are totally different. Food will perish if hoarded and you need a constant supply of it. Housing and real estate is the opposite, it's in almost everyone's interest that land values and property go up over time, especially the people who currently own it which includes politicians and probably around 50% of people. There is also price competition in the food market, which property developer out there competes on value? They all compete on perceived quality, the square footage and where they can buy land.
yeah, the pressure on housing is a problem in so many countries and it really became problematic the more and more people started using it as a way of investing. In many places it is one of the easier things to convince a bank to give you a large loan for, so you can get a lot of leverage. Once you get one, then you get as many as you can get finance for, etc etc. At the end of the day, it may require a lot of oil on that fire before governments legislate such that massive leverage on lots of residential properties is not as desirable as other investment options.

Why would landlords hate such a system. They can trivially pass on any tax to renters and have the incentives to figure out the loopholes in the tax code. It’s already common for single unit corporations to own rental properties.

Instead of taxing based on who owns the land, tax how it’s used. That way more units will be built increasing supply.

But then you’ll run into the real problem, not landlords, regular home owners who largely have a revealed preference to live on giant plots of land, in big houses far from multi unit dwellings. They’ll continue to use restrictive zoning to limit supply and keep prices up.

I am German and had to look on Wikipedia what the consensus of the term "Naturkatastrophe" (literally "natural catastrophe") is.

Wikipedia suggests a Naturkatastrophe is any disaster where the destructive force is nature, regardless of the cause.

There is the more specific "Umweltkatastrophe" ("ecological catastrophe") that apparently requires direct human cause.

I can imagine this being a mistranslation, but personally also find these terms incredibly nitpicky.
I already posted a comment on this, but forgot to answer the actual question. I don’t think it follows that it’s wrong to commoditize basic necessities. Take, for example, food: the reason just about everyone in the western world can afford food is BECAUSE it is commoditized.

I would like the barriers to home ownership to be lowered. On the other hand, I don’t think the rental market is evil. A lot of people can’t afford to buy homes, and without homes for rent would be out on the street.
