He said clearly that he talks from experience. Do you want a peer-reviewed paper to back his claim?
Pro-tip: Sensei said the best Ran-giri (乱切り) is done after a bottle of Junmai Daiginjo
Yeah it is.

I always use dish soap, and it will definitely take off any oil that hasn't been polymerised.

I think the people who believe this (and use cast iron) probably haven't seasoned it hot enough or have scraped off the seasoning close enough to the metal.
If people want to have families they should have to move out to the country side and build a family home. Apartments and single person residencies should be the only units allowed to be built in cities where young people have to work and try to build wealth.
>I do strongly believe that once a propery is yours what you do with it is your concern and nobody else's

Not enough. That's how you get a voter base which pushes for plans which make properties more expensive, deprioritizes building and depending on other variables, causes population growth while telling the next generations to just deal with the smaller piece of the pie they have to share with a bigger population than before. That mentality effectively means you're dependent on home owners as a whole to care enough about others to prioritize their needs. Historically, this hasn't been true for almost a century in the majority of the developed world.

That's also why this problem is so difficult to tackle. We don't have a critical mass of individuals democratically yet, nor a critical mass willing to cause enough damage to make voters care. And the majority of politicians do not care enough about the long term consequences (or alternatively, realize caring about the long term consequences won't win them votes).
But you need someone else to provide your ’basic human right’

Is housing expensive in popular cities or everywhere?

What is preventing people (you?) from building cheap houses on cheap land?
Is it regulation?

We are headed for a massive population crash almost everywhere, the housing market will completely collapse in the next 10 years and will not recover.

You can look at Japan and Italy as a head up, they are starting to give away houses in the countryside.
Georgeism has my vote.

Interpersonal stuff has easily been the worst part of the job, people have some really obnoxious behaviors at my current gig that really gets me. This is probably closely tailed by interacting with poorly documented and crappy third party libraries. I don't mind in-house legacy code that much, comparatively.
I did this once, with a shared terminal via screen or tmux (and thus not VNC). You can install https://github.com/Eeems-Org/oxide and a terminal application via the toltec repoitories and then ssh (or mosh) from remarkable to the device that has the keyboard.
Most people in favor of the regulating construction are talking about removing density restrictions, not building codes.
> What’s stopping a hedge fund from buying up a /12 block and renting it out?

This is basically what Amazon does.

I don’t see an easy way for a hedge fund to rent out the IP space unless they are a cloud provider. The problem is that to participate in BGP/the Internet, the smallest allocation that can advertised is a /24. You need to own the space you advertise before an ISP would allow this. The hedge fund would need to transfer the a minimum of a /24 to you and I guess you would have a contact to pay the hedge fund a monthly fee and give the space back when you’re done? Seems a bit messy to me.
I will keep the roborock for a while as it seems to be mature enough and checks all/most of the boxes. I sold the old robots for 59-60% of their value. The reasons for my upgrade path was: better nav, mopping and self cleaning.

Roborock does all 3, the 3rd is not perfect so I guess I will upgrade it once more (after 2 more iterations to make sure they fix properly)
The cost of storing hydrogen underground can be as low as $1/kWh, so that would be $25B (electrolyzers and turbines/generators are additional, but that's not per-energy capacity cost.)
He's previously done one of the fairest analyses of the state of functional programming (specifically Haskell) and its pros/cons particularly with respect to building games I've seen as well. It's very refreshing.
Certainly a well-established company can probably already tick along reasonably well with a so-so CEO who isn't actively bad in some way. After all, it's not like the wheels come off the bus if the CEO takes a vacation.
I love my cast iron pan, but I also love having some carbon steel pans around.

DeBuyer carbon steel pans are the same price as Lodge cast iron and are much lighter and better for certain tasks. The handle is a lot longer too, which makes it more fun to use than cast iron.
When people speculate on land it doesn't get used as much as it should. By having people pay for the value of the land, that either forces them to make use of it, increasing housing supply, or get rid of it, which then the next person who buys will make use of it. Even a partial land value tax like we see in certain PA cities[0] yields real results and after implementing the tax vacant land went away and current homeowners actually saw a tax decrease.

When you tax land value, the initial price of the property drops to offset, which makes it easier for less wealthy people to afford a down payment. A perfect land value tax would set the price of land at zero with a hefty month tax payment.

If this raises more tax money then the government can meaningfully spend, you simply give it back evenly to the community. Note that, just like the carbon fee and dividend system, still incentivizes that people use as little land as they can.

Georgism really shines when applied to energy [1], maybe even better than to land. How ridiculously appalling we will appear to our far-future successors with "our" companies making trillions of dollars burning scarce resources because they can be easily "owned" while the big fiery explosion in the sky is unspent and for all intents and purposes unspendable, alas, also naturally un-ownable. The sun is one of the few current "georgist objects" in our present capitalist realism.

I'm very curious how population decline would affect this. Part of what made housing a business was the exponential supply of new humans for hundreds of years, but that trend is changing rapidly.
It's stoppable because we have the internet and social networks.

>To bemoan the securitization (not commoditization, for not all real estate is equally fungible) of real estate is, ultimately, to bemoan that certain properties are closer to employment, closer to community, closer to commerce. But this is inevitable.

It could be the other way round.
Using social networks, communities could organize to move to non-established properties. That could make real estate much more fungible.

Instead of going all virtual, Meta should solve the real estate market first. Otherwise, this leaves space for a startup.

It's just that the French name got associated with the act of cutting fine sticks in English, it sounds cooler than cutting fine sticks. Probably popularized by some famous chef that wrote books or did tv shows. It doesn't make the cutting technique French.
What is the difference between 2nd-order and tertiary effects?
It's probably to know which implementation will be the best one. I can have two different ideas about how something can be implemented in mind. I will think about it for a long time trying to figure out which one is the best. I know that if I choose the wrong one and later try to change to the other implementation, that will be a waste of time. That's why it feels like I have to figure out which one is best before I start. Sometimes it might be a better idea to just do something instead of thinking too much though but it's pretty hard to do that.
Same here. Particularly the windowing. On a dual-screen setup, Zoom controls go off to other places and do not stay where they were left. I've had multiple experiences of not being able to find the Zoom buttons while I'm on a call.

Second, it drops you out of meetings sometimes while you are screen sharing, and gives you no way to know. It's sporadic on my machine whether the green highlight/frame shows up on screen sharing to indicate that the content is still being shared.
Java, C++, and C# have best in class IDEs. But for other languages, especially dynamic ones, VS Code is close or better than a dedicated IDE.

> Should rich people be able to buy up land (and mineral rights underneath it) all over the country?

TFA is literally about giving people who don’t have the capital to outright buy a house the ability to invest in real estate. Like, you think real estate is a good place to put your money but you only have $5000 you can afford to invest. Or you want to spread out your investment across different markets but can’t afford to buy 20 homes.

I think if TFA was posted without the highly biased editorializing this discussion would be a lot different.
I think you’re doing it wrong. It’s very easy to renew the seasoning and it doesn’t retain smells.
I guess I’ve been programming since I was very young, so I went through a lot of horrible things like frontpage, dreamweaver, notepad++, and then a number of them per language (phpstorm, and other php IDEs, java IDEs, etc.)

The biggest selling point for me for vscode is good defaults (I like vanilla configurations to get started fast on new machines) and discoverability. I want to be able to install 10 plugins and try all of them in a few minutes, and learn shortcuts as I use the plugin (with emacs each extension is an investment)
I don't know what I was expecting, but this is really stupid. Enough that it's worth it for the amusement factor.

'List of Japanese words that describe the various ways you chop and slice vegetables' would be merely educational.
> This stuff is complex. It requires some careful, thoughtful approaches.

Is this comment allowed on the internet?
It's a largely accurate statement
Sellers themselves would be incentivized to make their house in good condition to sell it at a profit. If all they do is renovate then that should be a service to the original seller. If your house is devalued by 20% when selling, you pay a renovator to fix it up and take 50% of profits so instead you only lose 10%. Like you said they provide a service, they could handle the sale as a real estate agent and get more pay as well. My suggestion just means the original owner will retain ownership until an actual person who wants to live in the house buys it.
If you're okay with sharing, is this condition about the tech stack?
This will just make rents more expensive.
Energy density is an irrelevant metric. I don't care about the energy density of the source producing the power coming out of my sockets; I care about what it costs me.

Energy density is at best a contributor to cost, but if we have the actual cost there's no reason to use this dubious substitute. No reason, that is, unless you know the actual cost figures do not support your argument and are trying to dissemble.
I will clone it brain dead. Is it still evil?
You cannot fix housing. It is simply demand and supply.
The problem to address, which is more fixable, is to incentivize employers to move to less popular areas.
As an employee I also do not want to live in the largest metropolitan city. There is one distinct advantage of living in such a city, which is that finding new jobs is easier. But everything else just sucks, and I do not live 365 days a year looking forward to the day I need to find a new job.
Having lived in a zoning-free US city (Houston), I can't say that I'm a fan of "build wherever you want". It leads to large disorganized, unwalkable and inaccessible areas that just don't make sense from an infrastructure standpoint.

People complain about how bad zoning is, and I agree that municipalities can get carried away with it, but most people highly underestimate the impact zoning has had on their lives and take even moderately executed city planning for granted.
And I clearly asked if he has non-anecdotal evidence to back up his claim.
We need to accelerate this problem. Make it impossible to rent or get a mortgage in any city. Millions on the streets. Most of the cities kids eating from trash cans. Only then will we see change i think.
Housing isnt land. Housing isnt intrinsically scarce.

Land being a liability means that the "owner" will have zero incentive to hoard it. It will mean that owners of low rise property in high demand locations wont be doing everything in their power to inhibit high rise development because theyre sitting on a pot of gold. Theyll be sitting on a pot of taxes instead.

It means any undeveloped land will be developed or sold to somebody who will.

It means slumlords who rent out shit housing will lose money.

We all recognise that this is the appropriate way to deal with electronic spectrum - auctioning off time limited rights. The idea that your great-great-grandfather owned 400-405MHz so you should too is no less ridiculous.

> That is why AGPL license is very important for some of us.

+1 on this (and maybe also forced-anonymous donations?). I'd like to think in the 21st century we have solutions to the "whoever holds the purse strings" paradigm. And maybe corporate strategy will begin to recognize the benefits in following them. Open tools for everyone means open (cheap) tools for businesses after all
Why is this not flagged.

Yonatan Zunger also talked about people punching James Damore's in the face in another article -

"a good number of the people you might have to work with may simply punch you in the face"

He's a bad person. Or was in (2017)

And this is just rambling Tweets from (2017) Why is this being dug up?
I mean, they can still own multiple properties and sell it close to the original purchase price, I am just saying they can't make a profit from the sale of their second or third property.
So the AI driver knowingly, deliberately decides to murder children?
> Some people prefer to be homeless on the street versus getting to a roof over their head that they don't like.

... why is this the top comment?
You're right of course but it's not really the point is it - it's an adopted English term, these 'techniques' are used the world over including by amateurs.

And I don't know Japanese, but it doesn't even seem like they have a plethora of more descriptive terms for it than 'finely diced', 'roughly diced' etc. when they're both something-kiri too, for example.

huh enforcement is clearly lacking.
It's funny how you sweep the _tens of trillions_ spent on invasions in the middle east to achieve that stable 2010 electric supply, to say nothing of the millions of lives lost.

Yeah, "lack of political will" is exactly the problem, because the incentives to continue spending in the current manner are considerable.
>The western world gets cheap food because it exploits the labor and resources of the less fourtunate.

This is true for vegetables and fruits. But the core calories come from corn and grain that is cheap because of industrialization. The US don't rely on an army of slaves to export soy to China.

Equally, housing could be much cheaper if a bigger share of construction would be industrialized.
How to stay focused while working on your startup and having a 9 to 5
The startup scene is often romanticized as an all-or-nothing endeavor, where you either go all-in and burn the midnight oil or you don’t make it at all.

Well, I think that’s bullshit.

There’s nothing wrong with taking things slow, and working on your business on the side while you keep your day job.
Use banks. Ignore DLT. This could never happen in {$user_location}.
Yeah, Vancouver BC actually is creating policies like taxing unoccupied housing at a higher rate, instituting a tax on the sale of homes to foreign buyers, and further regulations around real estate "commoditization" and these are effective tools. I don't know why people say it's a difficult problem. Cities are actually just looking the other way.
Because people don’t want their stuff burning down?

Yes, it came from the market; miles away from the lab. Great work.

That falls short of "totally proves the lab wasn't involved," which seems to be the only assumption that doesn't make one a dangerous conspiracy theorist.

I said it in Feb 2020: I think someone at that lab got told to destroy some bats, decided that "sell them at the market" was close enough, and the fun began. I dunno how much more talk about "it started at the market" will be required before we can move on to "but where did the infected animals at the market come from?"

>Seattle-based Arrived claims that it is different from others in the category in that it is “fully SEC-qualified,” meaning that it has approval from the Securities and Exchange Commision to offer shares of individual homes.

I don't see this as being any different than the numerous REIT's that you can invest in.
The only problem with NIMBY is that there is not enough NIMBY. Poor and working class people should also have strong voices in the character and development of their neighborhoods -- not just the wealthy. Marc Andreessen should be able to have a say in the character and development of his neighborhood, and everybody else should, too.

California and the Sun Belt have too many people relative to the innate ecological fragility of the regions, and manipulating the market to cram even more people in there than the economy or environment can support is foolishness and irresponsibility masquerading as a moral crusade. Foolishness and irresponsibility always masquerade as moral crusades.
I'm a 40 years old guy who taught himself and got his first gig last year and he's also my hero. I'll sound "kids nowadays" but it's surprising how many young developers never even heard of Carmack.
Hard disagree here. Being constantly asked uncomfortable questions by your manager is making you uncomfortable. In short, it is creating a toxic environment of stressed out people. And that ops org is not the most recilient one. And you want recilient ops, even if you don't care about the people.
VS Code creates a project though: .vscode folder.
It creates links to download directly from Microsoft. I've never had an issue relying on the ISO hashes from msdn.rg-adguard.net either. I just wish Microsoft didn't hide their updated monthly ISO's behind a MSDN subscription.
"exception-as-control-flow" is a misuse of exceptions. You can catch them just at strategic points and ignore them everywhere else.
Housing is a basic human right and should be protected as such. However, housing in a prime location in a big city isn't one. There just isn't enough.

The best method we have for distributing a luxury good with limited supply and excess demand is through markets and prices. Every alternative we tried have always lead to a lot of troubles.
My friend is a chef and looking after their pans properly also involves wiping them down with oil before storage, not sure I’m up for that level of pro maintenance.
"Some people prefer to be homeless on the street versus getting [...] a roof over their head that they don't like"

Do you have a reference to back up this statement?
Have you ever spoken to any homeless people and asked them what they think about this?

Clearly there are some limits in which your statement holds; I would prefer to be homeless in a city in the UK than held in a forced labour camp with housing for example. I think once you include some basic minimum requirements very few people would prefer to be homeless.
But it's not easy to draw the correlation between land usage and state resource usage. There is basically none because land doesn't use resources. People do.

Your argument confuses cause and effect. People that gain large benefits from the state do so because they are rich. And because they are rich they can afford expensive land.
For Rust I found CLion to have no improvement over VS Code.
Nothing you mentioned has anything to do with communism AS AN IDEOLOGY, though. So why discuss it? It could have been any group based on the logic of your comment.
