> Glad to see this silly crypto fad fade away.

This is like the 900th time I have seen this. Crypto doesn't seem to be able to 'fade away 100% completely' does it? So I think that it is here to stay on the condition that there are a compliant few cryptocurrencies and projects after clearer regulations, indicating that not all of them will survive.

But the whole point of this is that Mailchimp and Intuit are responsible for this data breach and suspending a wave of accounts without warning doesn't solve anything.

In my opinion you're overlooking that a speculator could "engineer" a situation faster than say a local council is able to act / realize what is happening.

For example, a speculator moves into a nice small village, sees potential and brings in a lot of foreign capital in a short amount of time. Buying up houses and outbidding potential new citizens. The price of land is also driven up from this, even if it's only a short term thing.

The damage has been done there and it had little to do with the number of houses. It was just a hostile takeover of a community.
I don't think anyone is blaming the kids. I mean, the decisions to have the kids were made by adults. I'm in favor of blaming the adults.

That said, us nerds probably shouldn't stop reproducing.

The intro to Idiocracy (2006) is quite relevant today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2tUW0HDHA

I heard Mike Judge on a podcast about a month ago (JRE) saying that the ability to make that intro was a large factor in his motivation of making the Idiocracy movie in the first place.
> I suspect that it will not.

I agree. The reason Electron got popular is because front end devs can quickly build a desktop app for use cases where a web app will not work.

And I say that as a web dev who has worked on probably a dozen apps with Electron. Mostly internal tools, but also stuff in production for end users.

For the end user projects we ended up replacing Electron with native apps using the native web view. Each app had a tiny native layer for stuff like downloading files, etc. I don't remember the exact numbers but our macOS app went from +100MB to about 5MB download. Memory usage was also great reduced. The macOS app barely used something like 15MB of RAM IIRC. That was in 2018. Today there are projects that already do this.

I think Maui will rather compete with Flutter and QT, not Electron.

> Everything is on fire, all the time. I envy the people who can tune out the world and pretend as if we are not living in a historic time,

I can understand but its always been this way. Financial collapse in 2008 was probably more stressful for most people. 9/11 and wars in ME. Dotcom bubble. Gulf war. Crash of 87. Iron curtain coming down and dissolution of USSR. Economic upheaval of Reagan. 70s economic collapse, crime wave, Nixon/Watergate, war in Vietnam. Nuclear war threat. End of segregation in the 60s, WW2 etc etc

The only difference now is that we're more wired.
Gradle fits your description pretty closely.
You're posting an article which is about Richard Spencer being a white supremacist, and which explicitly calls him such in the article's byline, and not even defending him with a "full statement" but a description of an unsourced quote within a paragraph describing his attempts to soften the image of his white supremacist ideology to make it more palatable to the public.

Meanwhile the source for the claim about slavery appears to contain something closer to a full statement, from his own podcast:

On his Altright.com podcast in February, Spencer lamented that the United States military never engages in war “for the right reasons,” which he said are when “you want to dominate someone, you want to take their territory, you want to take their women.” And if those reasons don’t suffice, Spencer said, he believes it is acceptable to go to war simply for “vainglory.”

When one of his guests began to complain that the United States Navy sent ships to provide humanitarian aid to Haitians after a hurricane devastated the country last year, Spencer had another idea for what the military should have done.

“Exactly, no. You should go enslave them. That would actually be a proper war aim,” Spencer said, before apologizing for “really going nuts” and then retracting that apology because “you need to go nuts in order to prove a point.”

Spencer said he hoped white people in America get so frustrated with the military’s humanitarian efforts that they “flip over into this domineering type, and I obviously hope that happens.”

“This is the kind of thing that’s truly traditional and historical. You display your power. Phallic symbols in the center of the capital city. That’s what it’s all fucking about,” Spencer said.

I'm not about to get into a quote for quote debate with a green account trying to defend the integrity of a neo-nazi on the internet, though. So let's just split the difference and say he only sometimes supports slavery under certain circumstances, and in certain company.
It does make one wonder how long the supply chain can get before people forget what's on the other side of it. The Roman's only had a vague concept of how silk was made and where it came from. The Chinese a vague idea of daqin, the opposite of the Qin empire.

A farmer be forgiven for believing that their fertilizer is made from manure and not petrochemicals made thousands of miles away?
“It should be more expensive month to month to rent vs own”

It already is. There are many tax incentives geared towards making owning cheaper. If owning was t already subsidized do you really think anyone would be handing out 4% 30-yr fixed rate mortgages like candy? Removing these would also make housing prices crash, which would lower both purchase cost AND rent, yet I don’t see many people pushing that idea forward (because it also makes it almost impossible for most people to buy)

The “I think people should own property, so I’m okay making it more expensive for people who don’t” is bullshit.

> a lower portion of housing should be rentals

Without numbers (the baseline you’re considering as true, and the number that is “acceptable”) this is just trying to impose a specific viewpoint without any data to back it up.
They are fast follow / undercutting by bundling ideas innovated by GitHub and CI/CD etc co's and boost marketing via OSS. Fuel rapid sprawling dev by offshoring and VC. It's a financial innovation, not tech. New tech may appear as a side-effect of ^^^^.

It's pretty darn cynical bc market fit is pre-established. Must be frustrating for folks coming from the technical innovation side of their market.
Actually, you can assign (not transfer) IP ranges and the one advertising it does not need to own it, but would need a Letter of Authorization (LoA) or similar.

That’s not what’s happening - there are no ‘microscopic’ gaps that water is getting in to, iron is too dense for that.

That logic doesn't follow. There are plenty of things that, in some cases, lack of them causes death; but are not human rights. There are people that cannot survive without a liver transplant; not everyone gets a liver transplant; some people die because they cannot get a liver transplant. A live transplant is not a basic human right.

There are many things that, as a society, we should do our best to make sure everyone has access to; housing, food, medical care, etc. The more people that have access to them, the better off we, as a society, are. Whether or not those things are a "basic human right" is debatable; but they fact that you need them to survive doesn't define them as such.

I just put a little evo on a paper towel and apply it all over the pan.
Ansible should never have become "the standard". It was always obviously flawed (YAML is an abomination for long configuration and templating; ssh doesn't scale). It's only advantage was that it was easy to start with and easy to remove. Why Red Hat decided to buy it and then everyone decided even more to standardise on it is a headscratcher.
Even though I would love to see any non-human technology, I would probably bet that they're just going to find a bunch of dust, rocks and of course, human trash.
In this case it absolutely can. Show me the name not the initial.
There used to be plenty of how stuff is made documentaries on tv, so I don't know. Nowadays I don't see tv, not that linear medium anyway, so is it gone?
England has been building more housing - pretty much everywhere I go there's housing going up, new housing starts are apparently at their highest since the last housing bubble popped in 2008, and the national government basically removed the ability for local governments to block news housing development in order to encourage more to be built. It's just not working. Also, the areas where the jobs are have started to run out of important things like water and electric grid capacity.
Having hired (and been hired) for both technical and non-technical roles, I personally prefer whiteboard coding interviews (or phone screens asking how they’d design X) to the more abstract business questions, both as an interviewer and interviewee.

Within a few minutes I can figure out if a candidate knows SQL better than I do (not that hard to do, basic joins maybe a HAVING clause) or if they took a class and forgot most of it and don’t know what it means to de-normalize data. I can do the same with Excel.

But I still don’t know how to effectively judge whether a candidate is effective at closing deals, what their work ethic is, how they actually support team members, are self-starters, etc. It’s much harder to do.

Technical fields have a huge advantage in being able to assess skills with objective criteria. It’s not perfect and interview anxiety is real, but it seems a lesser challenge than how business fields hire.

Back during the USSR it was Poland and the DDR, but yeah they didn't care atvall about the environment. Not that the west did, the Rhein was basically a dead river at one point in time due to polution.
No they don't, but if they did, then they could use the money they have saved by rolling these out today to pay for some of them.

Suggests you'd need enough batteries to run Western Australia for 1 hour and enough green hydrogen produced to power the region for 11 days. But mostly it would be wind and solar.

If for whatever reason you think Australia isn't about to start making Green Hydrogen at scale, they also provide numbers if you want to go hard on batteries.

You'd use 150% more solar and 10x more batteries, but 6% less wind (and no power-to-x turbines) this would cost a whopping 50% more overall and be 10 hours of battery storage.
Or any other biblical book, or even none at all.

You made a snide comment without enough content in it to fuel a decent discussion. If you want a discussion then it's on you to initiate it properly.
The key component in this scenario is that the owner (debtor) is taking 100% of the value decrease, while the mortgage lender is taking a 0% decrease.

In the event we implemented a market-wide adjustment, presumably we'd suspend business-as-usual to more evenly allocate that through the transition.
Oh, rents in Paris are sky high regardless. Renting is also super difficult because landlords are terrified of tenants.

It’s just easier to compare the high-end of the market because offering is similar and concentrated in central areas, whereas lower-end real estate is scattered across lots of very different areas.
How did you conclude it was communism/socialism that enabled them to benefit from capitalism’s extremes? Or is this another attempt at “China Bad”?

I was also put off by the phrase "...roof over their head that they don't like", but the statement can be steelman'd into something I agree with and think is correct. Empirically homeless shelters operating below capacity and cheap housing in far off locations exist but we still see homeless people in tents under bridges and elsewhere.

I've seen numerous reports where homeless people say they don't use shelters because they're unsafe or the shelter's rules are too restrictive (eg "The shelter where I stayed briefly, you had to be in line. They technically opened at 7:00, but you had to be in line at 4:30 in the afternoon to be able to get your bed back..." [0]). I guess I don't know what homeless people would choose if they were offered a home in a far off town or something, but AFAIK, the only general options presented to homeless people are shelters, homelessness, and maybe social services in cities willing to work on the problem.

Depends of what you want to build. Going all-in is a valid option but not the only one. It is possible to have a job, get 8+ hours of sleep, and also run a profitable side project. This is especially important for first time founders.
The question then becomes, who doesn’t cut their food this way? Astronauts?
Who are these people? Run home at 5:30 to pickup the kids from after school childcare, cook dinner then help them with homework? Help their parents? Mow the lawn, paint the bathroom, service the car, do the taxes, shop the groceries, get a health checkup, get a tooth fixed, visit the neighbors. Who has time for a startup with a job?
I like to avoid naming things in my programs to avoid baking in those sorts of assumptions.

In short functions that can be as simple as choosing a name like "_", "x", or "rtn" to indicate to future me that the thing being described isn't super well defined and is only useful insofar as it lets the containing scope do what it's supposed to.

In slightly longer sections of code I'll often just reference registers or memory offsets directly. You need some kind of identifier to access whatever it is you're working with, but if the name isn't pinned down well by English you might as well just pick your favorite number for the task.

Names are important in places, but only if they aid understanding of the code rather than (intentionally or not) subverting the reader from details that do actually matter.

> This entire discussion is absurd to me. You’ve got politicians burning money, some people talking about housing as if they have a “right” to a house (that is: a right to force people like me to build them a house at gunpoint), and still surging homelessness.

Isn't US homelessness mostly an issue of drug addiction and lack of mental health care? What percentage of US homeless do not fall into one of those categories?
To be fair, my use of the terminology might be completely wrong. By "PIDs", I mean in general the identifiers I send to the car to retrieve information.
Do we need another X??? You could ask the same question about operating systems, file systems, databases, cloud platforms, or programming languages. There will always be someone who is unsatisfied with the status quo and will invent something new in an already established category.

The dangers of non-empirical confirmation (2016)
Remember the goal to electrify everything. For the home owner this includes space heating. So if you live in the snowbelt you need to have the battery capacity to handle a two week Polar Vortex with temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit with very little sun with your fully decentralized solar system.

Previous job was using self-hosted Jitsi. And it was often a trainwreck, with random disconnections, terrible video quality (and we didn’t use it very often), some people ~always displaying "connection lost" even though we could hear each other fine, some people always having connection issues and being disconnected after a few seconds. Zoom and Teams are much more stable.
The one thing that has come of this is that products that do this have 0.5% less friction (they can auto-update quicker), achieved this faster and with less engineering effort (no need for a clever workaround, just use the biggest hammer), and have 0.5% less customer support burden (since everyone is on the latest version all the time). As a result, this can help a product dominate their competition the way Zoom has. I say this as a security conscious person who wishes this type of app would just go away, but has worked in the industry long enough to understand the economic realities.

Honestly, this is the number 1 confounding factor for me in terms of the “app stores should be more open” argument. Sure, Apple is stifling innovation in phone applications by disallowing this type of thing, but also the Zoom app is much better behaved on iPhone because it has to be. Personally I am happy trading off some convenience for security, but I am unsure if there is a “correct” answer here. My personal hope is that VMs will become useful enough that it will become viable to have a crude per-shitty-application sandbox for folks that are security conscious. I already have done this with tools like docker from time to time, which admittedly isn’t a great experience.
Again it is not the point. English is not my native language and I have no problem in using it... but if I am replying to someone I know their own language and would like to use that (with just them) I shouldn't be forced not to do that.
Are there any financial products to help with this situation; ie allowing you to take out an $800k loan on the new house? Presumably this wouldn’t be any riskier for the bank than simply continuing to own the old underwater loan. Possibly less risky since the homeowner, living where they wanted to live, would have less incentive to simply walk away.
I wonder what the FUD line will become once solar plants start coming with 2 or 3 hours of storage because it optimized the ROI of the inverting and transforming equipment. (This shouldn't take too long, since the battery costs are almost there already.)
The Pros and Cons of Buying Investment Properties Near Schools
Unless you have a work permit or a visa that allows you to legally work you aren’t going to pay local taxes, because you aren’t legally allowed to work.

In general you won’t qualify for a work permit/permanent residency in most countries. And in general nomads travel on tourist visas (or visa waiver/visa on arrival), and those visas almost never allow you to do any kind of work, even online for a foreign employer. It varies by country. Some countries (and more ever year) offer so-called digital nomad visas, which are actually aimed at entrepreneurs, remote workers, and people who earn passive income in some other country. Those may or may not have local tax obligations, you have to look at every case.

Unless you go around telling everyone you are working remotely there’s little enforcement or attempt to round up nomads pounding on laptops in coffee shops, so digital nomads just fly under the radar working remotely and breaking the local immigration and labor laws. You can’t pay local taxes if you aren’t allowed to work and earn an income in the country in the first place.
If I sent you a picture of a vacant piece of land in the middle of New York City's best neighborhood and asked you what it was worth, could you answer me?

You wouldn't be able to until I told you what kind of home you are allowed to build. If I only allow you to build a shack or make it a park you won't be able to extract any money by renting it out and thus you wouldn't buy it at any price, even though the neighborhood should command a steep price. If on the other hand I allow you to build a sky scraper of n storeys high, you will now be able to given other information on rents in the area that people are willing to pay.
I have a MSDN subscription and one of my colleges wanted a Japanese Windows 10 ISO to track down a particular bug.

While I had to login to get the link to the ISO, once I had that link there doesn't seem to be any requirements to log in again. All the installs are in trial mode unless you get a key, which does require MSDN, but it would be nice if MS just had a convenient place to find these other than people using some 3rd party service. At least it would give people confidence that it's a genuine download and not been tampered with at all.
