> "Punching Nazis" is a way to signal to them that their ideology is not welcome in the public sphere, to keep them quiet and afraid.

Oh, I see.

This isn't really about Nazi's.

This is about coming up with a label for your political opponents in order to justify violently attacking them and subverting due process.

Wow, this is great! I've been hoping for eInk with good refresh for years, and seeing it in action in your demo is very cool.

> The screen can refresh up to 30 times per second, this will degrade the eInk display rapidly. Do not use with fast changing content like videos.

Have you noticed the degraded display in your Kobo? I imagine it's not uniform across all pixels, since editing would mostly be localized to your cursor area (though scrolling and other actions would be wider). I'd also be interested in hearing what the timeline looked like for the quality drop, since it sounds like it's a function of the total number refreshes for each pixel.
Precisely. A nation of renters rather than a two tiered class system with land owners at the top of the economic hierarchy and elderly renters at the very bottom.
Most people have no clue where/how everyday things are made. Reminds me of this video where a teenage girl was saying food comes from supermarkets, not farmers
If one engineer becomes a de-facto project manager is because the team lets them because they realized it's in their best collective interest. And that's not a bad thing.
The article says "it [punching Nazis] doesn't solve anything".
> But you need someone else to provide your ’basic human right’

For many people, this isn't true.

A lot of people would easily be able to afford to buy or build in a nicer area if there wasn't so much competition for land or housing due to investment. I think if there was much much higher cost of non-owner-occupied housing, you'd just see people move into nicer areas with less financial pressure to do so. This sounds like a nice thing.

Interesting new problem Japan is facing is that even in the areas where they're giving houses away, they're starting to have trouble servicing the surrounding infrastructure, roads etc which I guess is from not enough taxes, administration and construction workers left to keep these areas a float.
It doesn't matter if you need another. You will receive one, anyway. There can never be enough build systems.

It's an inevitable consequence of two basic natural laws. First, every development team will eventually come to dislike some core feature of their current build system. This is true regardless of the build system. Second, developers like to scratch itches.
What makes you think so?

You elided the next sentence: "But it doesn't solve anything." which completely inverts the meaning of the sentence you quoted.
The problem isn't with housing. It's that private banks can create money on their books from nothing when they give someone a mortgage. This inflation of the money supply pushes up the housing prices and creates the speculative bubble. It also means that bankers can make interest on loans without actually doing much work for this profit.

You've got my attention with the sixel support. I use screen quite heavily, but I'm open to switching for something like that.

I think I use screen in an unusual way, I know a few keyboard shortcuts but 99% of the time I use the command line.

If you press Ctrl-A :, you get a command line with tab completion to access all the screen commands. I have no idea what the shortcut is to split a window, because I just use :split. Same with :resize, :focus, :remove, :paste, :title, etc, etc. I'm quite happy with one less application I need to memorize bindings for, and I'm reluctant to give that up!

Does Zellij do something similar?

Exactly. Economies of scale + the simple fact of things like a roof for 2+ story block of apartments is going to be far cheaper to replace than a roof for the same number of houses as units.

What's funny is that -- having worked with him during the time this article is about -- Pat was one of the nicest and most humble developers on the Blizzard staff, despite being "#3" at the company. I don't mind his tone re-reading this now-decade old blog.
I think people get confused by the wide spectrum of businesses that the word "start-up" represents. You can't build a VC-backed 10-person B2B company as a side gig. You can build a small profitable SaaS business on a few hours a week.
Indeed, the nature of the fourier transform is what allows for the signal to be perfectly reconstructed in theory for frequencies below Nyquist.

More practically, it's not only filtering but also the slewing nature of both the analog part of a DAC as well as the physical speakers themselves.

I only brought this up specifically because I've seen more than a few times in "Analog is better" articles the 'stair step' representation of a jagged digital waveform, which is itself total nonsense.

It seems weird to single out this person's project.

I don't think build systems have peaked yet, so it's good that there are people willing to explore and experiment with new or interesting ideas within that domain.

If the author reads this: kudos to you for being willing to try experimenting with your ideas.
that’s an extremely anachronistic reading.
> 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.

What is not true? I stated an opinion. It is IMHO not the job of the OS to keep data indefinately in RAM just because there might be a chance the storage comes back at some undetermined point in the future. We can fail the write and the application/user can try again from scratch if storage comes back.

> 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.

Yes it is different, that's why I said keeping the dirty pages clearly as the paper showed causes all kinds of issues leading to data loss or corruption. I don't see this as a good tradeoff. If OpenBSD went that route then that seems like a much safer and saner decision to me.

After re-reading my original comment I see where I wasn't clear enough. Both marking a page as clean and dirty can cause issues if the page is not evicted upon fsync failure. The fact that different filesystems behave differently (some mark clean, some dirty) just makes the problem worse.
Yonatan, Yonatan. He's the world's most effective Nazi recruiter. I wish he'd stop.

Here, and elsewhere, he openly calls for violence against "Nazis". That's a label he has habitually misapplied to a variety of people who explicitly denounce any violence (clearly, in contrast to Yonatan) and dehumanization (clearly, in contrast to Yonatan).

What a beautiful combination!

1. By abusing the term "Nazi" to broadly apply to people who are not, he creates a group of people sympathetic toward other folks who are called Nazis AND antagonistic towards people who sling the term

2. By openly calling for violence (why is he allowed to do this?), he creates a sense of urgency and panic in those people: "We MUST band together to stop these deranged antifascists before they have the chance to give us irreversible brain damage for existing in public. Who exactly are they?"
I absolutely agree - infrastructure and quality of life is an issue when it comes to small towns. Things like Starlink is giving me hope.

It’s not for everyone for sure - I’m more introverted than most. So I need to be close to airport for my twice a year flights - not at all.

> It's not that much caffeine and it won't do anything to your teeth.

It's whatever maximum renters are willing to pay, combined with whatever minimum property owners are willing to accept and the availability of alternatives.

Applying a cost increase across the board, in a way where everyone knows it was across the board, will reset the market floor. If California (just as an example) can out and said "There will be a flat $200/month tax on all home rentals" you can be damn sure that every available property would align to +$200 over the course of a year or two.
Have you ever worked in or alongside the U.S. Federal Government? I have. It's pretty easy to pin all these unprincipled actions/inactions on deliberate lies and manipulation in service of power grabs. As several replies to you suggest, the reality is likely a lot less scurrilous.

There are very few truly principled people in Government. By this, I mean people willing to make big changes to hew to some "objectively right" principle even if it raises perceived risk, or causes any sort of new economic harm to some group, regardless of how short-term any of these may be[^]. On the other hand, if there is ongoing harm to some group, that doesn't typically generate enough support for change until you hit some inflection point in the zeitgeist, like what led to the "justice reforms" passed in the last administration.

Big changes that cause any kind of harm or perceived harm to a group need overwhelming levels of support, especially in political circles, to overcome the media seeding and political grandstanding that exact an inevitable toll. Obama was a profound disappointment to anyone hoping for any kind of structural reforms out of him, but the fantasy-driven ferociousness of the political headwinds he faced in office shouldn't be ignored. He was damned if he did or didn't.

Imagine you're in Obama's shoes and some Serious Intel Community Leader swears in classified briefings that if you undo any of what they're currently doing, there's high risk of "the next 9/11". Do you make a principled stand about the sanctity of the 4th Amendment despite their near-assurances that "Americans will likely be harmed on your watch if you do"? Probably not, because in the moment, you feel the ends are so overwhelming they justify the means. In the current Republican-leaning political environment, you don't want to risk feeding the claims that "by weakening the Intelligence Community, Democrats undermined America's safety, as they always do!".

It's easy to talk about principles until you have to pay the costs of being true to them.

[^] If you counterargue this using radical Trump administration actions, most of them cannot be categorized as "principled" or without ultimately fatal-to-the-administration consequences.
Why do we have to flag it instead of eloquently and politely discussing it?
General purpose build systems need to make API expressiveness, observability, performance, and correctness tradeoffs in exchange for their platform breadth.

By narrowing breadth, most often by targeting only one ecosystem[1] or making correctness tradeoffs[2], new build systems can be way more expressive and performant. For now.

They’re also fun to write because DAGs are parallelism are cool problems to think about.

[1] e.g. only targeting one language allows you to use that language instead of a generalized DSL to describe your build graph
[2] e.g. abandoning sandboxing altogether and using manual invalidation or just trusting the user
"get rid of unions"

I am as YIMBY as they come regarding zoning, but this is a complete non-sequitur. It also shows a casual disregard for basic republican values: the right to freely associate and to withhold one's labor.

An international comparative perspective, as well as a regional perspective, do not suggest that construction union density can explain the widespread housing affordability crisis in the U.S.

Only 12.6% of American construction workers are union, and residential construction is a less union dense subsector than commercial real-estate or large-scale infrastructure.

Many countries have both dramatically lower housing costs and higher union density in the construction trades that the United States [1].

Within the U.S., it's clear there are problems provisioning housing where construction workers on residential projects are rarely if ever union (e.g. Virginia, Florida).

>We would probably all love to hand write encryption algorithms for data transfer

Yikes. Funny that you mention this, because it’s precisely the kind of thing that one would expect from this sort of “talent”, and not from real engineers.

No. One does not hand-write encryption algorithms, unless they are Daniel Bernstein or similar.
You can download ISOs on Windows now, I just did a week ago to install a VM.

It doesn’t use your PC’s files, it does recompress the install image into 2 parts in a different Windows disk image format to fit on FAT32 (4GB file limitation), so that you could use the ISO on a USB flash drive without needing a secondary bootloader.
Using a JetBrains IDE (or whatever IDE) + Vim plugin is the best of both worlds. Writing code is composed to two tasks:

1. Pure Raw Text Editing: This stuff like jumping around within a single file, making edits. Vim really shines here with keybindings that become muscle memory & are portable cross platform- for example I am forced to use a Mac for work but use Linux for my personal stuff, the keybindings for the exact same tool are often different between mac and linux. Vim really shines here

2. Work that requires you to consider the language AST: Stuff like refactoring- renaming something through the entire codebase, jumping to definitions and implementations, auto-completing symbols. This is where I fall back to IDE features as they are unambiguously better at it than Vim. (Yes I know you can get this type of stuff kinda working in vim but it has never worked well enough to my satisfaction... you have a to install dozens of plugins, often a plugin for each language that you want syntax support for which adds bloat and in my experience I have never gotten them to work quite right in a reasonable amount of time)

I've struggled to buy a house almost my entire adult life. I'll add some nuance to things you said, and hopefully that can connect the dots for some folks.

I don't like looking at a house as an investment, but it currently is. I'm a very frugal person and I save as much of my money as I can. Nevertheless, at 33, when I first met with my financial planner one of the first things she told me was that I'd already maxed out and exhausted places I could legally stick my money for long term investment... besides a house. There are a couple alternatives, but they likely won't be around long. One was a life insurance market account that you push money into every month - turns out, due to it's tax free nature, it can rival the growth of a home. Historically, when houses were lower barrier to entry, they were the simplest and most effective form of saving money.

Next, location. I don't need to live somewhere fancy, but when I bought a starter home ($200k) in Dallas the only place I could afford was about 45 minutes north of the city. My commutes to any place I could work were long. Prior to this I had moved to the country to save money to buy that house. My commute was 2.5 hours every day. Even with mass transportation, my commute would be long due to the size of the DFW metroplex. This weighed on me every day. I was missing time with my dogs and family.

I was trapped in a scenario with a bunch of tradeoffs that all yielded similar results just as the Dallas market was heating up. Quite literally, the only reason I got my house is because no one bid on it. It had been hit by a tornado and leveled a year prior. People were very superstitious about buying the house.

Money is a superpower, one of mankind's most potent inventions, and just like with anything of great power it is learning to restrain yourself, to recognize when it is and is not appropriate. Self-restraint in the use of great power is what makes the difference between good and evil.

With money, all actions take on a dimension of moral hazard. You pay for a thing, but you do not do the work, so you don't know how it is done and what effect the work has on the worker or on the world at large.

If the altruistic angle doesn't appeal, consider the selfish angle: money divorces you from the reality of an act, making you less able to do for yourself.

Like the Amish, I suggest that you carefully consider what you pay for and why, rather than just decide based on whether you can pay for it.
One thing I find interesting though is that at least in Australia, it's speculated that a lot of the property pressure is from foreign investment, especially from China.

So if China's population starts to crash or their economy goes bad at some stage what effect will this then have on the Australian market (for example)?

I'm guessing not much because the inflationary property price damage has been done. It's a curious thought.

Also in the case for "steady populations with little growth", wouldn't this mean that property prices will also stabilize and eventually drop? This stabilized property market will be interesting because people won't be able to make the huge capital gains and returns they were used too? A lot of property investors are also probably pretty heavily indebted and so any type of economic trouble might put many in a precarious position.

Wok? Gas heat? Enough heat? Okay:

Get plenty of heat!

After looking into achieving personal freedom through tiny home living (and which could take different forms than what we think of today with some creativity), I can say that one of the most challenging things standing in the way is zoning laws.

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to find any piece of land anywhere in the US where zoning allows relatively unfettered building of tiny or smaller dwellings. It's possible, but it's very difficult.
It depends on where they want to move. For national policies prices should drop nation wide, ergo people would still be able to move inside the same country (probably 99% of relocations).

And if they don't sell, they wouldn't care much. Yeah, annoying, but as long as you pay the installments, not much changes in practice.
This is a good idea. Thank you for mentioning
