> You do not have a basic human right to the labor of the people who build and maintain these houses.

But you should have the right to live under a government who provide this for you.

It's like saying that you don't have a basic human right to have that doctor help you – no you don't, but you do have a right to have a doctor help you.

Safe housing is a human right, as is healthcare, as is food and water, because these things are essential for life.
You won't have to imagine for long.
I'm having trouble understanding your claim that "markets don't solve everything" and then give an example of a market, that you claims has been captured by unethical interests.

I mean yeah, of course the market doesn't solve that problem, because... it's not a free market?
Don't many states/cities (if we're talking US) already do this?
They are not entirely available. I think you cannot download all editions, only the latest releases, and if you use Windows it will tell you to use the media creation tool. Which is a weird thing that takes a long time and assembles an ISO from who knows what (it seems to take parts from your PC and to download other parts). It's really hard to get a vanilla ISO.
Really great site! Would love to see something like this for other cities. LA is an obvious one, but recently I was thinking about how many lesser known street car networks were built and destroyed. For example, most medium to large towns in CT were once serviced by extensive interconnected streetcar networks, but few maps of those networks still exist.
I'm 95th percentile of my country's income according to government data, but struggling in the same way. Most of my friends who have houses have gotten them by inheritance or massive help from their parents.

"Why aren't people having kids? Why is no one marrying and starting families anymore?" Like dude, if I can't afford to buy a small property for myself as a single occupant, I'm not going to dive straight in to having children and renting for the rest of my life. I need financial stability.
Exactly this. An application implies something that has an interactive UI. Most diversions from the “happy path” can be handled by displaying a descriptive text message, informing the user that something in the environment is not right. Exceptions are a natural fit for such problem domains because the application code can be kept relatively straightforward, unencumbered by error-handling branches.

OTOH, infrastructure code that runs as a service must detect every possible error as early as possible and handle it is an ordinary operating condition.
Apparently the stylite tradition is still around.
I think they can be just as readily, not that I mean to tell you your own interests of course but if one is interested in accents/linguistics/usage etc. then the patterns are perhaps more noticeable.

I'm British, so I'm not that familiar with many American accents, certainly not your examples, but off the top of my head you do find elongated vowels, t->d, ay->i (short), rhotic r, nasalisation, 'vocal fry', 'baby voice', and ending every sentence or half sentence with rising intonation like it's a question?
Why do you have a right to having a doctor help you? What if he doesn’t want to help you? Can the government force him to?

You're right that building more housing is the solution. But we don't need to get rid of unions or deregulate construction. The main issue is land use regulation [0]. We just need to let developers build.

Thank you for your work on StarCraft. The level of depth to the game and my endless fascination into how it worked was my inspiration for becoming a software engineer. Your blog is definitely a good reminder that it was built by humans too.
I noticed that you very specifically avoid talking politics. I wonder if you're blind to what authoritarianism does or just don't feel comfortable/safe speaking about it? If the latter it really does kind of prove the point doesn't it
InDesign is for layout, it's not for books. FrameMaker is for books.https://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker.html
I’m more concerned with overly rigid planning and zoning rules distorting the ability for high demand to increase motivation for supply.
I meant that the interface for __cxa_allocate_exception is designed in such a way that it cannot substitute std::bad_alloc for the exception being allocated.
You are right that throwing money at it isn't a solution. But corporations should not own residencial housing and no one should be allowed to sell propery at a meaningful profit if they own multiple properties.

The government should excecise it's power of taxation to take the profits of an investment housing sell (as defined above: multiple property owner selling at profit) with something like a 95% tax on profit and use that to build competitive housing (not for the homeless but for the regular person).

It is doable politically but only if there is support with the people. This bullshit about your housing being an equity investment and other related sentiment needs to go away.
Because that means apartment buildings become illegal?

Homeownership is all well and good, but sometimes you really do just need a place to live for a year or two, and having to do a full-fledged real estate transaction at each end of that period is a lot of friction.
A lot of software has moved from using dmgs to mpkgs, and apart from some terribly written apps that need some hackery in PostInstall scripts, most of them don’t really care about it.

The UX for packages also sucks. With DMGs you just mount and then drag to the Applications folder… even the most basic macOS users have done this.

That's a very specific supply chain for an unsanctioned good.. avocados ship straight from somewhat neutral countries Israel and Cyprus.

In terms of the ability to purchase, you are correct that dollars continue flowing into Russia due to the energy export situation. That of course is the big open question, can the West endure a cold winter with jackets indoor and cripple the Russian economy or not
[UI confusion led me to think this was a reply in a nyc specific comment chain. It’s still relevant but less perfectly so.]

You land-tax to make sure the most efficient buildings end up using the land. But the construction industry in towns like SF and NYC is mostly constrained by what you can get approved, which comes down to connections and what politician-pleasing giveaways you have to tack on.

And expensive downtown Manhattan land has lots of potential competition, but with transportation infrastructure costs running $2 billion a mile (!!!!!)
>people only look at the monthly repayment

That's somewhat understandable given that the alternative is pretty much writing a monthly rent check. In that respect, it's a bit different to my mind than an auto loan. (Maybe if you compare it to a lease.)

If you didn't have 30 year fixed mortgages in the US, property values might indeed drop somewhat. But it would mostly advantage people who had access to other capital. People who can't afford houses in expensive areas now mostly still wouldn't be able to.
It’s not a human right to have an attorney. It’s done by the government to legitimize its courts. It’s difficult to justify the use of force (court system and associated outcomes) if those you accuse of violating the state do not have the ability to competently defend themselves from the accusations.
> We should do both. Build more housing and crack down on speculators.

By this reasoning nobody could own multi-family properties because that would be considered speculation.

Because the only difference is this involves single family homes which are going to be rented out, an act that I’ve never heard called speculation. Of all the predatory tactics Silicon Valley gets up to (hello Uber) this isn’t one of them IMHO.

I’m not sure where people think the houses that get rented out come from but I can guarantee that it isn’t people who are running a charity to provide housing to needy families. They invest capital in real estate with the sole intention of seeking a return on said investment.

Pretty much what rrradical said. I haven't seen any articles around "writing code with only haskell 2010 vs GHC2021", but now that we have a baseline in the community things like that could be written.

Actually that flag existing is part of why I think new books are being written, to start defining what "modern" (with all these flags on by default) haskell looks like.
"The actual cost of construction/materials of the house itself makes a negligible part of real estate speculation"

We may have different definitions of "negligible"...
You have to accept that HN has alot of technical/engineering folks who are trained to solve scoped problems. Some are very vocal proponents of nuclear energy, for valid reasons.

Because nuclear technology and military requirements go hand in hand, you’re always going to have the dissembling, the misinformation and the propaganda elements tightly aligned with anything nuclear.

Nobody ever knows the full story, and advocates can always latch on to some bizarre statistic, like “More people have been killed by cordless drills installing solar panels per gigawatt hour than have ever died from electric generation with nuclear power.”
I have a sense of overdramatization here. Nobody is holding anyone at gunpoint, we just want to have a safer future with regards to our basic needs.

Let's agree that there is a cost to building a house and someone has to pay for it, that's fair. What's not fair is making more and more, larger and larger luxury homes, turning other into AirBnBs and even keeping some empty (since it's "an investment") effectively making it harder for common people to have a place to live.

I don't want to be scared that if I get sick for a week I won't be able to pay my rent and will have to move... who knows where. I know there are people living in such fear while a multitude of homes stay empty.

In principle this boils down to private property rights and conservative way of thinking about society vs. making policies that would drive the standard of living up starting from the ones most in need.
Both approaches are valid, they differ in the amount of suffering for the bottom 50%.
They didn't run Alphastar on ladder long enough to really converge on a MMR (they also ran a bunch of different accounts in parallel and combined their results), but they projected ~6.3k Protoss, ~6k Terran and ~5.8k Zerg.

With those MMR, you'd... probably not expect it to be beat Serral (7.5k MMR lmao...)
You don't want unconfortable people, you want people being comfortable doing whatvthey are doing. Getting out of your comfort zone every once in a while is good, pushing it too hard is just increasing the risk of errors.

You want stable operations with some slack for the cases something goes wrong, you don't want ops that are constantly under stress.
> Why would you conflate the benefits of open source with a requirement for the devs to not make money?

I don't think s/he meant that open source developers shouldn't make money. Just that sometime projects can be hijacked by those who pay the money. One genuine concern I can think of is if BigTech slowly pivots and slowly convert such projects into web applications that they can then rent as a service. Sure, one could fork it. But without the core developers to provide insights into the codebase, it would be a tough job.

That is why AGPL license is very important for some of us.
It's not so much the commoditization as the financialization. There are deeper assumptions about Western models of financial capitalism which I would question. IMO Free markets are ok for commodities and goods, but free markets for credit are disastrous. There is a reason debt jubilees were common throughout history.

Tupperware MicroPro with the eterna coating has been great for me. I can make a roast in 20 minutes, lasagna from scratch in 15 minutes, etc. The coating is a lot more durable than conventional coatings and there is no indoor air pollution, like with my gas stove. The technology is better than the old way of cooking. It is so much more convenient, in fact, that I wonder if there was a campaign against microwave cooking by the petrochemical industry.
People can own multiple residencies, they just can't sell them at more than 3-5% profit. Corporations can't own residencial buildings if they are single family units but for multi-family properties, so long as it is being offered as rent/lease/purchase that should of course be allowed. I was focusing more on single family units but you are right to highlight that.
Apparently so those water hoarding companies have to pay the full rate, instead of some subsidized rate. I.e. stop privatizing profits with socializing the costs

> But to me that argument falls flat, they should free the cache if the underlying storage got removed

Except none of that is true, the USB storage could be reattached and the write successful. The system has no way to know whether the failure is transient or permanent.

> any subsequent read or write should fail.

That’s a different solution than keeping the dirty pages. Instead you discard the pages and lock to failure. IIRC that’s what openbsd implemented in the wake of fsyncgate.
A huge amount of housing issues across North America are due to zoning issues, with areas that don’t allow high density housing to be built (or where the residents fight fiercely against it). You don’t need to deal with most of the other problems you mentioned if you fix this first.

The other issue is vacancy. 10% of homes are unoccupied. Coming up with ways to fill even some of those properties would be hugely impactful.
> We should do both. Build more housing and crack down on speculators.

No, just building more housing will make housing less useful to speculative investment, and so speculators won't invest. Just reverse the messing with normal supply and demand. Don't apply ever more patches on top of patches to fix a situation that wouldn't exist without the messing in the first place.

Sadly, it is very hard for politicians to a) want to decentralise control, because it's much easier to declare a new controlling initiative than to say "actually, we're just getting in your way" and b) get to decentalise control, because it's much harder to argue strong economic principles than appeal to special interest groups who might vote for someone else.
If someone is willing to do it for money and I'm willing to pay them for it, why should I do it?
So property taxes are even higher than land value taxes? Because they included land plus development.

"Speculative asset" dirty words, "basic right" (not so your only "right" in America is to become homeless). Love these abstract discussions with no point of action regarding, does everyone get a house or not and who pays for them?

Meet has had breakout rooms for a year or two.

Predefined hosts is a place that is lacking. In general Meet started as a "everyone is mostly trusted" tool which is way better for office meetings so their host controls are behind (but slowly being added). Zoom is by default "only the host is trusted" which is very annoying in my day-to-day use. (For example you can't have a weekly meeting because the "organizer" is on vacation and can't start it. You can't screenshare because the host needs to approve, you can't join before the host... Most of these can be changed by default in your settings but I'd course most people in my company haven't done this so we run into problems at least weekly and need to scramble to send around a new link and hope that we manage to get everyone into the same call.

But that being said I think Zoom is still the better option for "untrusted" setups like seminars, presentations or other complex or large events. Meet is far better UX for meetings.

On macOS, most likely not[0].

from the macOS fsync manpage:

> fsync() causes all modified data and attributes of fildes to be moved to a permanent storage device. This normally results in all in-core modified copies of buffers for the associated file to be written to a disk.

> Note that while fsync() will flush all data from the host to the drive (i.e. the "permanent storage device"), the drive itself may not physically write the data to the platters for quite some time and it may be written in an out-of-order sequence.

> Specifically, if the drive loses power or the OS crashes, the application may find that only some or none of their data was written. The disk drive may also re-order the data so that later writes may be present, while earlier writes are not.

> This is not a theoretical edge case. This scenario is easily reproduced with real world workloads and drive power failures.

Oh it's certainly fading. And I suppose I should have qualified that I meant the 'traditionally associated dialect & accent' of large geographic chunks - which isn't to say that the majority of the population there actually speaks it. But the accent of the guys propping up the bar of the locals' pub across large geographic chunks, I think. I'm no expert either.
I'd say a house costs more than almost anyone has; it's why people need to take out loans to purchase them. That said, without a rental market the price of houses goes way down. As a result, the people that cannot afford houses then are mostly the same people that cannot currently afford rent. This is because the mortgage payment and insurance for a home is actually lower than the monthly rent. If the top value were lower, it would be a safer risk for a bank but because it's so high, people don't have that access to credit.

A developer still has a profit incentive; mostly the same one they have now, actually. They sell the apartments.
I don't think it's misrepresenting researchers. The article chiefly focuses on Richards' research, which shows correlation between a self-supervised model and parts of a human brain, hence the title, but also takes the space to talk about metamers. Pretty sure two things can be similar in some ways and different in others, so the two conclusions are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Yeah it's all zoning gods.
That will merely increase the carrying cost of the land and ensure that only rich people can live there, and that's true even if you break it up into smaller units on each unit of land, it's just higher cost smaller units.

There is NO one single point of influence that works the way we want it to, and that starts right at the 2nd-order effects, not even tertiary effects.

That's a very ageist and ignorant comment. There are plenty of Tik Tok videos of young people getting confused over very simple things as well.

Black box ml model take the to a new level however. You can fit a model to anything, even if it lacks a causal relationship. If you setup the test set in such a way that it overlaps with the train set- then you'll get a positive result.

You may think that you haven't overlapped the sets... But in practice most datasets have large numbers of duplicates once some irrelevant random variable is removed (eg time).

I don't want to be the user of a library that might do something even the library itself doesn't know why it happened.

Your point seems to be that any exeption that makes it to the top must by simple definition of reaching that point, have been something the user did or in some other way "not my problem", which I think is ridiculous.

The whole article starts with the assertion that they want this library to be solid not slapdash.

Why does Zoom need a f'ing installer? There's nothing it does that couldn't be in a sandboxed App Store app, and they certainly have the resources to easily publish one. If they need a bit more a regular drag and drop app would suffice.
