Ok, I can see what you mean. This is also why when I made the comment about a "strategy" I put this in parenthesis "(in the sense that there can be a strategy to a game of luck)".

My intent was not to imply that each individual losing pull increases the odds, but more that if you just keep rolling the same two dice long enough eventually it's going to come up snake eyes. And this leads to people (especially gambling addicts) continuing to pull that lever after they are long past what they can afford. They know if they just keep pulling the lever (or more likely pushing the bet max button these days) that eventually it has to pay. But the reality is the casinos are predators that feed on that behavior.

Most casinos actually have a much higher takeout rate than the legally required minimums as well; it's very common that they are set closer to the 90-97% range. It's generally observed that a higher takeout will result in more money for the house. With a higher takeout people are more likely to keep winning a bit and feel like they are getting lucky, so they will actually spend more money than if the aren't hitting at all.
And the city needs transport networks and power grids that reach far beyond the city limits.

The only logical difference is a matter of scale and limits.

The same rules apply to any region that has dependencies outside of its own borders.

The only way to not be subsidized in some fashion is to live directly off of the land in the form of some nomadic tribe.
Well, certainly having some buttons with context dependence is still better than having touch screens.

Also, hard no to "just as bad". I have no issue with volume control buttons also being camera triggers on my phone, for example.

Details matter.

I don't get why there's a "process" at all. In Canada, when I change my address with the CRA (our version of the IRS), my voter registration gets updated automatically. Why is there a separate step in the US? I've also voted when my CRA address was out-of-date at the time, and this was fine too as long as I brought government-issued ID or a recent bill sent to my new address.

This behavior is called “Zoom”, and it’s defined per-application by that application. You could change that system-wide to minimize.

Yes, the application hasn’t quit. You’ve only closed its last window.

> If people had to pay inheritance tax on their family home, how many could not afford such a tax bill and would have to get rid of their family home to please the tax man.

so if they can't afford to pay tax on the windfall, they'd have to sell the house and buy a smaller one. is that the end of the world?

> Regarding the cost basis rest that is so people can upgrade their house without having to pay a tax bill

what they have in many european countries is that you can do this only on your primary residence. so you let people upgrade their homes, but not their rental properties
Every 6 months or so, I take a quick tour through all of the various cross-platform UI frameworks out there. Most of which, with the notable exception of Flutter, are C# and .NET Core based.

I'm just wondering... does anyone actually have success using any of these frameworks from a context other than Visual Studio on Microsoft Windows?

I'm on a Mac, install .NET through Homebrew, and use Rider when I dabble with C# stuff, and I've just never had a smooth experience getting ANY of these things to work. Even for "Hello World" test apps. MAUI, Avalonia, Uno, I'm probably forgetting another one. None of them actually work on my machine.

I always get the feeling that someone, somewhere, at one point got "Hello World" working on a Mac... wrote up a doc saying that it's supported... and then the doc immediately fell out of date. I feel like the only Mac user on earth touching any of these things every time I experiment with them.
I am truly sorry
Do you mean having a MacOS on a cloud machine?
Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, I'm glad the core sentiment and functionality comes across.

One of the biggest issues in the space (for Tovera and FNFTF) is that the crypto ecosystem is so sleazy no one in our targeted user/customer base (slightly sophisticated users and beyond) trusts anything or anyone - and rightfully so.

In reaching out on Twitter, etc getting anyone to engage with something like FNFTF to even upload a PNG/JPG is near impossible. Install a browser extension?!?! Yeah right. Our most common response is "Nice try, scammer".

This is why we have "Show me a Random Ape" and "What have other people searched" buttons. It's practically all anyone who visits the site uses because of the issues I mentioned. So that's why we try to lead with something above the fold.

It's a chicken/egg reputational issue for us. Granted all of this is the creator and collector space - the real customer is an NFT platform, marketplace, etc that would integrate us in the backend somewhere so a user that already trusts wherever they are would inherently trust us.
Audi have had this for years, dial with four buttons around it down by the handbreak so you don't have to reach up. Also some industrial pick and place machines work this way, I used to operate them over 20 years ago and the speed you could navigate through the screens once you built a bit of muscle memory beats any touch screen.
I think inheriting property should absolutely force children out of their home unless they plan to actually live in it as their primary home immediately, and even if they do, they should be paying the same taxes as the rest of the neighborhood.
I absolutely do not want electronic voting. I legitimately believe that system would be kept behind a black box, and would be far too likely and liable to be cheated and gamed. At least with a huge stack of paper that is stored for an approved number of years there is an option for independent verification.

10-20 years seems fine. It doesn't have to happen overnight. To fast would create chaos and make it into new lame situations for people.

Gradual rent control with a point system works just fine.

Personally I would like to see renting [gradually] changed into lease/buy. That I've paid the value of the house 3 times now (and the construction cost 7 times) could mean I own at least some of the house? Doesn't seem unreasonable.
>Inflation was an issue for a while, but a lot of that seemed to be driven more by temporary supply constraints in certain sectors than any actual currency devaluation, and inflation already seems to be dying down anyway.

Man, this attitude is terrible. My life and all of my colleagues lives have been completely flipped upside down by this inflation. This comment just donwplaying it as a non-issue made me really angry. How out of touch are you? I can barely afford groceries anymore. And not the organic kind - the bottom basement price chopped discount kind.
>Also notice how writing the refactoring as a query over the model is actually not that difficult. I can imagine how I would write an SQL query like that in a few lines. On the other hand, writing an automated refactoring system in IntelliJ or VSCode sounds like a lifetime problem, and it's kinda unsolvable.

No, it really isn't unsolvable. I saw the demo for DION[1] after following a comment[2] here, and it was close enough to some ideas that I also thought were unsolvable, until I saw their demo. They made a brilliant choice, use the model to regenerate source code. This transforms the problem into something much easier to work on.

I'm an old Pascal programmer, so I did what I always do, fired up Lazarus (the Free Pascal based IDE) and started writing code.[3] It doesn't do any actual work, except for showing off the main concept. Abstract syntax tree on the left generates almost usable Pascal code on the right. Selecting code then selects the right part of the tree that generated it. I've only got a few hours into it, and it's already doing things I would have thought impossible, trivially. There's no reason you, dear reader, couldn't do the same with your own programming language.

We're at one of those points in history where 5 people invent the same thing. The future is going to be a lot better once we can directly manipulate Abstract Syntax Trees instead of source code.

> The only countries that can do something are singapore and china, who are rationally treating housing as a basic need similar to food.

So why are people in China paying hefty loans for apartments that haven’t even been constructed yet? And now due to the housing bubble popping, construction has halted in so many parts of China that there is an epidemic of Chinese people who are refusing to pay their mortgages, and banks are refusing to let go of people’s money because fractional-reserve banking. China sure do have a serious housing crisis that’s arguably worse than that of the west.
Or you could use Apple's iTunes as an example of how to build one of the world's worst and most user-hostile interfaces, but one that every iPhone user must deal with unless they let Apple have complete access to all their information via iCloud.

I'm convinced most people really don't like iCloud, but since the alternative is iTunes, they basically have no choice...

i don't know how someone leaps from an IDE to putin.

how can you be sure some of the food you eat is not from russia, or made with russian fertilizer or some other russian derivative like gas.

maybe the car you drive was built by a russian, or maybe vscode itself has code from russians, who fully support putin.

fwiw i also dislike jetbrains, but nothing to do with russia or putin, nonsense.

Your second point is by design. macOS lets apps run without windows. Hold Option while once you select the app via Cmd+tab and it’ll open a new window.
Really cool! Nice work solving a problem and putting it out there for people to see!

Will the code be out somewhere so others can contribute to it?
great analogy. totally stealing this.

Impressed you found that. I don't have anything set up to automatically update it currently, but I do have an intention to have something set up to automatically update it.
The device has an onboard 8 port unmanaged gigabit switch. The two external ports are just switch ports and cannot be aggregated in any way. The entire cluster is therefore limited effectively to 1gbps throughput.

IMO it ruins the product utterly and completely. They should have integrated a switch IC similar to what's used in the netgear gs110mx which has 8 gigabit and 2 multi-gig interfaces.
The name "double-entry bookkeeping" may be misleading: what matters is not how many times / in how many places you do entry, but whether you're tracking both (or all) sides of a transaction. (With a computer you only need to enter the transaction once, as long as you track the "from"/"to".)

A couple of examples from personal money-tracking:

• say you have a bank account, and you track when the bank balance increases / decreases. That's single-entry. When you withdraw cash from your account at an ATM, your bank balance decreases, and when you buy something with cash your balance doesn't change — this is probably not what you want. With double-entry bookkeeping, you track separate "accounts" for (say) "bank account", "cash" and "outside world", and every transaction is an edge in this graph (or in general, hyperedge in hypergraph). (E.g. withdrawing $100 cash means a transaction that is -$100 on "bank account", and +$100 on your "cash" account, which add up to 0.)

• Similarly, with your bank account and credit-card account, when you pay your credit-card bill it's a transaction between your bank account and credit-card account, and when you buy something with your credit card it's a transaction between your credit-card account and the "outside world" account (which you can break down more granularly if you want to track your expenses).

Summary: double-entry bookkeeping means that instead of entering "this balance decreased" or "this balance increased" (without a direct way of linking where the money came from or went), you enter transactions that track all the changes as one unit, and in each transaction the sum of the "postings" is 0.

Or just read this by Martin Blais, it's still the best: https://beancount.github.io/docs/the_double_entry_counting_m...

Offtopic: I really love the user-centric cookie notification on this website. It defaults to the least intrusive option for the user.
AppleTV remotes have a problem where they're too sensitive. You almost can't click without entering a "move left/right" touch command. In many ways, Apple has found a way to get the worst of both worlds by trying to incorporate both worlds into one touchpad (yes, even in the newest remotes).
That's a good point, and it's still probably higher than average, but one should also consider what car-related expenses someone has at a 52k/year salary job commuting 1 hour to and from work each day. (I imagine the delivery driver used their car cumulatively more than 2 hours per day, but how much more, I don't know.)
It kinda does. Fractional reserve system means there is more debt that there is money. And if interest rates are not below zero. There will be always more debt until someone defaults. Actually even full reserve with debts would mean there is more debt than there is money...
> Quite frankly far easier to just get a trademark if that's the desired effect.

Trademarks cost serious upfront money - Germany alone is 290€ [1], EU-wide 850€ [2], the US 250$ [3] and worldwide is a hot mess [4]. Additionally, it seems like you need a lawyer in the US to handle the process if you're not an US resident, and you have to renew them every couple of years and not forget to tell the patent/trademark office of address changes. Not everyone is willing to put up that much money and effort for an open-source project that won't generate any income.

Additionally, trademarks usually force the holder to publicly register their name and address, which is simply not a good idea at all for many persons - trolls, spammers and outright criminals can and will use every bit of information they get to cause harm. And for collectives that run an open-source project, trademarks will be yet another issue - what to do when the holder of the trademark dies or disappears, or when they get into some sort of conflict?

That’s like „sitting next to a server in a datacenter to write backend software“ - nobody does that.

Maybe they worked on factory automation software and Workflows - then it makes sense. But for normal software development you do it in an office or a lab with all hardware components you need attached to a test bed and others simulated. Then once in a while some release software will be flashes on a prototype car and taken for a test drive. But not on any arbitrary car leaving the factory. There are strict regulations about prototype cars.

How hard could it be to have physical buttons with miniature lcds in them so that their labels could be programmed as well?

In fact my 2022 Honda Civic has climate controls with dynamic labels like this, with LCDs in them. I see no reason why these couldn’t be programmable.

Also the left half of the gauge cluster in my Civic (behind the steering wheel) is an LCD that can almost perfectly imitate a physical needle gauge one moment and or be a settings menu the next, and a fully customizable output the next.
Have we considered just building new cities? It would be cool if the state could run a contest, have a rural county sign up to reform their zoning laws, and in exchange receive 100 year tax relief guarantees from the state to build a new city.

America used to build new cities from scratch all the time up until WW2. This creates competition between cities (new entrants) resulting in better policies all around.

And the best part is it results in more empty land becoming valuable, enabling either dense or suburban housing as desired (hopefully making it non partisan).

Seems to me primary barrier today is there’s no unincorporated land left in the US, so let’s create a system for allowing new incorporations to emerge somehow!
Holy cow, not even a little bit. This is so, so middle- to upper-middle income centered it's not even funny.

1st you are assuming people have one employer to worry about, not multiple.

2nd you are assuming people have a set schedule daily or weekly.

3rd you are assuming people have PTO.

4th you are assuming the employer will give any amount of shit about volunteerism.

5th you are assuming they won't be given a point or docked for missing a shift.

> Shifting to more police and less imprisonment could reduce crime and improve policing. More police and less imprisonment also has the advantage of being a feasible policy. Large majorities of blacks, hispanics and whites support hiring more police. “Tough on crime” can be interpreted as greater certainty of punishment and with greater certainty of punishment we can safely reduce punishment levels.

This conclusion is questionable. While the data seems to suggest we have an astonishingly high imprisonment and recidivism rate I don't think the thinly veiled "abolish the police" argument, coupled with it's typical race-based arguments, will solve anything.

We can really, truly, improve an unfortunate necessity of society by a few things in my estimation:

1. Regular psychological evaluation for police and yearly training on de-escalation coupled with firearms training. Additional scrutiny for people with previous experience in combat roles in the military. Lack of sufficient firearms qualification should prevent you from carrying a firearm under qualified immunity, additional PT should be done every 6 months and two failures removes you from the force.

2. Removal of most of qualified immunity. Your job was never "get home safe".

3. Defang the police union which by-and-large is how police get away with murder. Force police to carry malpractice insurance instead (value > 1MM).

4. Disincentivize crime hunting as a method of police keeping their job. For example, your next review at the precinct won't look so good unless you have N number of arrests. This can be done either by punishing police for over-policing, or changing laws that are designed to imprison people for trivialities (minor drug charges, child support, etc).

5. De-militarization of the police and a return back to the "old" times. Police should walk the beat and mingle with the people. As it stands now they drive around in veritable IFVs with more weaponry than is even close to reasonable for their day to day job. Right now they are closer to UN peacekeepers than civil servants.

6. Undoing Castle Rock v. Gonzales which allows police to not have any duty to defend.

7. Most importantly, seriously scrutinize the roles and motivations of DAs and their relationship with judges who are responsible for perpetuating the majority of non-violent crimes that put people in prison for decades.

Of course none of this will ever happen because the true purpose of the police is compliance and control, not safety. If you don't believe me think really hard about how comfortable you are talking to the police, and then think about how comfortable you are talking to a firefighter. The police are simply the meat enforcers of The State and so any desire to change them is simply wishful thinking. Even the military is nicer to citizens in an occupied country than the police are to their own countrymen. It's frankly shocking.
I agree, but some notoriously litigious companies probably will not.

I have anecdotally heard from some Republicans in Washington that they do not bother to vote, especially in non-presidential election years, as they feel that a Democrat will win the election anyway.

This is visible in county-level voting rates. The counties east of the Cascade mountains tend to be more conservative than the counties west of the Cascades, or areas surrounding metros like Spokane, and they also tend to have lower voter participation rates.

Managing Infrastructure at Cloud Scale Without the Hyperscaler Propellerheads
110MB/s is gigabit. It’s limited to gigabit networking and only has 1Gbps out from the cluster board. So there’s no way to do an aggregate speed of more than 1Gbps/110MBs on this particular cluster board.

If each pis Ethernet was broken out individually and you used a 10G uplink switch or multiple 1G client ports then you could do better.

The write speed being lower than the read speed will be because writes have to be replicated to two other nodes in the ceph cluster (everything has 3 replicas) which are also sharing bandwidth on those same 1G links. Reads don’t need to replicate so can consume the full bandwidth.

So basically it’s all network limited for this use case. Needs a 2.5G uplink, LACP link aggregation or individual Ethernet ports to do better.
