Actually, zoning laws are not part of your property rights. Zoning restriction dictate what you can build on your property, but ownership interest in your property does not entitle you to 'buy' zoning laws. This is easily seen as you cannot sell zoning laws.

Zoning laws ultimately restrict your property rights as you lose the right to do what you wish with your property. They ought to be abolished to protect property rights.

Most societies did just fine without zoning laws for the entirety of human history.

Note, that I don't approach this from the YIMBY or woke side of things. Rather, as a pretty staunch free market advocate, it is painfully obvious to me that we should not restrict people's rights to do with their property as they see fit.

As an example, I was recently going to buy land to develop into a business. However, zoning laws in this area of the county (in the middle of nowhere mind you) meant I would have to jump through endless permit and red tape. Any so-called supporter of property rights should be livid that this goes on in this country. Buying the land should be enough to give me rights to do what I wish with it. Environmental laws should deal with actual human health hazards, not how much shadow I'm spilling onto a neighboring property or how much view I'm blocking.

A lot of the issues with zoning is people attempting to own that which they don't. You don't own your neighbor's property.
I'm talking more about C (or any low level stuff) than Unicode now. The world I'm using as a reference has only byte arrays, smokes and mirrors.

I'm constantly pointing you _to the awk codebase_. It's a relevant context, the title of the post and it matters. Can you please stop ignoring this? There's no Unicode library there, it's an implementation from scratch.

If you are doing it from scratch, there's a part of the code that will deal with raw bytes, way before they are recognized as Unicode things (whatever they might be).

Ever since this entire post was created, the main context was always this: an implementation from scratch, in an environment that does not have unicode primitives as a first-class citizens. Your string functions don't have \u escapes, YOU are doing the string functions that support \u.
Here's open-vsx's page for the Microsoft/vscode-jupyter extension:

I think it's great that open license terms enable these sorts of forks and experiments so that the community can work together by sending pull requests.

Is there a good way to install code-server (hosted VSCode/vscodium in a browser tab) plugins from openvsx?

(E.g. the ml-workspace and ml-hub containers include code-server and SSH, which should be remotely-usable from vscodium?)
It's not really up to me to say if its fair, it's up to the people of San Diego. I definitely spent a lot more money in town (on vacation) than I would if I lived there full time. That said, I'm guessing most would say it's not fair.

My point though is that this kind of things happens all of the time because there isn't a clean process to handle these situations. The concept of a virtual country could actually help fix this by establishing channels to compensate communities for services used by roaming visitors.

Funny, there is a tolerance spectrum for ginger ales. Canada Dry (prefer over Schweppes) is just a flavoured sodapop. But my wife likes make-your-tongue-burn ginger beers. And once you develop a taste for the (less hardcore) ones it's hard to go back to the wuss stuff. Note, ginger beer is not alcoholic.

Separately, and forgot to mention earlier. If your social self-confidence is low, you may attach an outsize importance to your drinking a soft drink while everyone else is drinking beer or wine. It really doesn't matter that much, and people don't judge you for it as much as you think. Why are you not drinking beer? Because I don't like the taste/alcohol. Continue conversation, end of topic. Spoken from experience as a tend-to-be-outsider mostly-not-beer-drinker.

I don't think absolute numbers tell the story. Also, it is not a complaint, really.

I think the citizens in the US have a right to decide as a polity how they want to structure their immigration policies. However, in order to make a good decision, it is important to start with the full context. Here are some facts:

US has 46.6 million in foreign born population and a total population of 333 million. [1][2] That makes about 13.9% of the total population to be foreign born.

Australia has 29.1% of its population that is foreign born. [3]

A little over 20% of the population of Canada is foreign born and it is projected to grow. [4]

Their post referred to "most meat replacements", not specifically the myco bacon. When comparing plant based proteins (the overwhelming segment of meat alternatives), there is certainly a difference in processing. In a lot of the newest food science literature, scholars are even differentiating some of these foods as "ultra processed".
For me, I'd be happy with it if it can fulfill the same role in recipes even if it doesn't taste quite the same. Beyond Burger doesn't taste exactly the same as hamburger but if I didn't know it was plant based I'd have thought it was some sort of ground ruminant and it still results in good chili.

Maybe it won't come down to legislation, but rather the threat of legislation. Maybe this is the sort of threat that will force companies to talk to one another and preemptively seek some sort of federation. Maybe they will be incentivized to do the right thing before it goes to court. At the very least, this is disruption of the status quo.
Discounting non immigrant visas, I’m not sure that this is true.
I rent an apartment, and am pretty happy with the arrangement. Obviously I wish I was paying less, but at the end of the day, I chose to live here, and enjoy the flexibility it allows me. (For a few thousand dollars and a moving truck, I can move across the country on a whim. I can go on vacation for months at a time by just locking my door and walking away. My landlord is responsible if any major repairs are necessary.)

My point here is that a blanket statement such as "landlords bad" doesn't match the experience of everyone out there.
> Perhaps targeting commodity hardware is a more viable strategy than contending with newer platforms like Pinephone.

It depends on the hardware. If it can be properly supported on the mainline kernel, then sure. Otherwise, you're not gaining all that much compared to just running a "cooked" Android-based ROM.
Same thing that happens when nation state actors decide to refine uranium to weapons grade: sanctions that kill the economy. These actually work pretty well when they are targeted at the oligarchy of a given nation state. This puts pressure on the state leaders who exist to serve the oligarchy to work to lift sanctions. The oligarch doesn't care about anything unless it makes them money, and by forcing them to lose money you shift incentives accordingly.
That is why there are other visa types. You are talking about a type of visa specifically intended as a mechanism to fill a specific seat at a specific company. For other forms of immigration, there are other types of visas.

> Homeowners that own an extra unit or two on the same site as where they live is about the most ethical form of supply private rentals

I'd never build or buy a MFD at least partly because I don't trust that the current vilification of landlords wouldn't eventually expand to MFD owners. MFD owners will still raise rents, they will still evict, they will still have disputes with tenants over maintenance and common-area rules.

The righteous anger will still bubble up. Only an idiot would risk it.
This is a bit hyperbolic - unless you mean excess deaths caused by obesity, heart disease and diabetes because of how abundant food has gotten.

But starvation is less of a problem anymore, largely because of agricultural advances like fertilizers, machinery enabling better practices (like no-till farming) and yes, herbicides and pesticides.

Undoubtedly there are harmful side effects but they need to be viewed with a sensible cost-benefit analysis.

* people find the stability of the known more compelling than the danger of the hypothetical. Employers want to be where their clients and employees will be, residents want to be in a place with decent shops and services. This kind of chicken/egg problem is usually the failure of most planned towns, and the only successful ones are usually a new capital or something because the government doesn‘t care as much. And even then that isn‘t guaranteed; Sejong is supposed to be the capital of South Korea but employees still hate it because even with cost of living issues and long commutes Seoul is more compelling.

* cheap land is usually cheap for a reason. Land in the middle of the desert West probably doesn‘t have the required water rights to support habitation. Land in the middle of nowhere in general has few services and high logistics costs. Former industrial land requires environmental remediation. Foreclosed land may require paying outstanding tax bills. And those are the relatively straightforward problems, to say nothing of places with high crime, bad schools or other complex societal issues.

* a lot of these places are going to turn NIMBY if a bunch of outsiders come, buy up housing and export their cost of living crisis to their community. It doesn‘t take that many people to tighten up the housing market in a town of 10,000.

IMHO cities need to limit how many large multi-national conglomerates are allowed to build huge rental complexes.

A large % of the high density housing being built around Seattle is rental only, all that does is funnel money out of the city. Residents don't get to build equity, and rental prices keep going up year over year, vs mortgage payments that, except for the property tax portion, stay the same over 30 years.

Also large rental complexes don't build communities.

Someone who bought a small 2 bedroom house 10 years ago and who now rents it out, those people aren't the problem. Heck odds are they are renting that 2 bedroom out for less than what a large corporation would charge.
With the power/display button exactly opposite the volume buttons, it is difficult to just press the power/display button without also hitting the volume up button.

> There is no problem with being competitive.

I'd say there definitely is if you do everything in life that way. You seem to be assuming it's possible to be meaningful competitive without it affecting how you interact with other people. But competitive-minded people often make it abundantly clear to those around them how much they're "winning" and even make it a point of pride that others aren't doing so well.
So yes, there definitely can be problems with being competitive. But our competitive instinct can be positive motivating force - we've all pushed ourselves that little harder knowing the reward will be a higher spot on the results table. How to combine that with not being an asshole about it seems to be the challenge.
> What about America is so fundamentally different than Europe that would make the same policies that work there not work here?

And yet, if I suggested that the US do something a lot of (all?) European countries do, like having to present ID when voting, I’d get an endless stream of replies about why that’s fundamentally impossible in the US (and racist, naturally). And that’s a FAR easier problem to solve than pie-in-the-sky “make everything more dense and have high speed rail everywhere and European-style public transit in every city” daydreams that are so popular.

Maybe some things really aren’t that easy to do in the US.
Ask HN: How much would it cost if one had to pay for every service?
I wonder how the online world would look like if it were probibited to monetize user data.

How much would one have to pay for a rich online life with Faceboook, Twitter, Google Mail, Google Drive, Apple iCloud, Microsoft Windows, MS 365, Whatsapp, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, all those free Android- and iOS Apps linked to one of the above services... you name it. Pretend everything would be fee-based.

I know there are free and open alternatives but unfortunately the reality is that the majority of people prefer the easiest way possible to use any kind of service. Lifetime has limits.

In other words "How much is our data worth?"

> there is no ...reliable way to verify the identity of a creator's SSH key

GitHub exposes your public key via it's API. (Why? I have no idea. I call it a privacy violation)
So, you need to create new github identity for every SSH identity that you wish to remain anonymous for, otherwise they just get tied together & one aspect of anonymity is lost.
Google also has a very good ingrained security culture. They understand that they hold on to people's most private and critical data, and rock-solid security has to be a cornerstone of their business.
If you're talking about type-inference, sure, I guess it's fine.

If you're talking about figuring out what types you're going to accept, you should absolutely be defining that on your own up-front. If you don't even know what your types are how is an end user going to figure it out?

> I don't believe our purchase locked out any first home buyers, it's a tiny 1BR flat

I mean, by definition that property would have sold to either a new home buyer or another speculator like yourself.

And by definition, if you own a property you rent out, you are a speculator:)

i have no problem with you being a speculator:)
Where did your "considerable experience" in the RE industry come from?
It goes further than that. Knowing that leftpad 1.0 was indeed signed by johndoe1234, author of leftpad, does not help you in trusting that leftpad actually left pad strings correctly, that it doesn't do anything malicious, that vulnerabilities get patched, etc. In other words, it does nothing at all for you.

Sure, you might trust Facebook, and so knowing that React 18.0 was indeed signed by Facebook is interesting. But then React depends on leftpad, is-odd, reversearray, ... by random devs. What security do you gain by verifying the random signatures from random devs?

Unless there is a way for Facebook to sign those transitive dependencies, vouching for them in a way that you can check. That would be something. But their authors signing them does nothing.
While this is true, I don't see either a reason to use _t in your code. Since it's your code, you don't have the problem for which the _t suffix was introduced, that is to avoid conflicts that can break other people code. You don't either get any benefit of using the _t suffix, since it's obvious if something is a type or not, especially nowadays (just look at the syntax coloring). You don't even need the _t to distinguish for example between a struct, enum or union definition and it's relative typedef:

typedef struct MyStruct { ... } MyStruct;

is perfectly valid, and in my opinion better than:

typedef struct MyStruct_s { ... } MyStruct_t;

Where the suffix _s and _t doesn't add anything useful but only complicate the code for nothing.

Very cool. A GUI pandas. As a seasoned user of pandas, the way it works seems clear. I get the potential appeal of a no-code solution like this: "Glue is to pandas as Airtable is to relational databases."
The question in my mind: how many users are there that want to build these kinds of data transformation pipelines that are also unwilling to learn Python/pandas (or R, or some other equivalent)? Because once you need to build a custom lambda, or do something downstream of the transformation, like a custom data visualization, you need to know how to write code.
Which I think gets to the heart of the matter: this replaces the easy part of data science. The hard parts are things like understanding what the columns really are, cleaning up messy data, and doing statistical modeling that yields valid insights.
I think open-sourcing it is a good idea. I can see how this could be added to a more complete software ecosystem that is designed to be used by non-coders, like an in-house ELN for a biotech. But as a paid project, I'm almost surely not going to ever give it a try.
Sorry, i'm chiming in a few days late @throwaway09380 ...but my buddy in China would always tell me how people in China are quite comfortable leveraging VPNs. They're used to the blocks to many services so folks have skills trying VPNs. Also as mentioned by @Canada, maybe try tailscale. I don't have experience myself, but have heard great things about tailscale!

That being said, separate of the vpn approach, i would encourage you to give matrix a try. And, if its true that the Element client gets blocked, there are plenty of other decent clients. True, that none of the other clients are as feature-riuch as Element currently...but for the basics, the other clients might be ok enough. I like SchildiChat and Fluffychat myself, but I've heard good buzz around Cinny. Here's a list of clients for web, desktop, mobile, etc.: https://matrix.org/clients/

Oh, and if Element is in fact getting blocked, and it has to do with some connections to matrix.org...then self-hosting a matrix homeserver, but using a different client (not Element), should most assuredly circumvent that issue...though i remain unconvinced that this is a factual issue. Good luck!
