Laketon, IN, population 606, had its post office closed in 2010 and, from a quick perusal of Google Maps, probably doesn't have a single traffic light. Doubt there's much public transit out that way. Only 30 miles to a town I might be able to get a job in, though...
Is yours a helpful comment? Are you positively contributing to the conversation?

There are many, many people who have well-developed media criticisms, Trump's are not helpful nor are they particularly accurate if you look closely.
You're never going to win anyone over with the tired "if you disagree with me, you're a racist" BS.

Low-income, high-density housing attracts problems. It has literally nothing to do with race. You could guarantee that the high-rise apartment building you want to construct down the street from me would be 100% filled with people who look like me, and I'd still oppose it.

Keep your YIMBY nonsense IYBY.
Yep. I remember we had specific training at my company on not mentioning literally any of these things when interviewing candidates, in part for that reason.
I feel the same way. It seems like a good chunk of content online is published just for an ultimately superficial purpose. One just has to take a quick look at LinkedIn to see many examples, but by no means is it limited to just there.
It seems straightforward that someone who enjoys the taste of bacon but does not eat it (for ethical or health reasons) may still want to partake in the experience.
The _t suffix is reserved for types defined by the standard. Although this is an excess of pedantry, strictly speaking you should not be defining names ending in _t.
What exactly is the point you are trying to make?

Yes, under a pro-spending, forward-looking government (such as the one we had from roughly 1997 to 2010), staffed public services improved and a trajectory was laid down for future improvements.

Under pro-austerity, myopic governments (such as the one we had from 2010 until now), public services have been rotting from the inside.

It's not difficult to draw a straight line from one to the other. Pouring money into "diversity" is certainly nothing to do with it, and that goes double for our current reigning party.

For what it's worth, it's a testament to the overall resilience of the NHS as a service that it has broadly managed to weather the storm of long-term underfunding and is likely going to continue on track until a forward-looking government is able to come back and breathe life back into it again. Roll on 2024.
They went with 28nm because it was the last planar (aka cheap) node around. GlobalFoundries recently launched their 22nm planar (22FDX), so it seems like there's now a cheap path forward for making a new chip with an updated CPU design (and hopefully an updated GPU too).
Arguably, Asian industry (India specifically), has much more room to grow - the west is is where things happened, Asia is where things are happening.

But East and South Asians immigration will continue. Being "westernized" (usually western education and green card) is valuable as a source of social prestige - having a US masters degree makes you attractive in the marriage market and in social circles.[1]

I liked the article, and I'm sympathetic to the overall point...

> The kind of hoops I have to jump through to get types "just right" in a web app versus a library is dramatically different. It's rare in a web app for me to need constructs like conditional types, type operators, and overloads. As a library developer, they are heavily used. These constructs are highly dynamic and embed logic into your types. This leads into my next frustration with typescript which is debugging.

I would have like to see some examples of "conditional types, type operators, and overloads" in action, and an argument for why these constructs are so much more prevalent in library code than in application code.

I don't have a counter-argument, and I don't have any reason to doubt the author's insight, but after reading the article I don't feel like I have an increased understanding of the problem-space.
Well now we're 4 comments deep just discussing the metadata of this information. Surely it's interesting now.
There are Billions of dollars in cash just sitting around at companies like Blackstone Group waiting for the housing market to crash - which of course it will.

No beer, kosher-only foods, no golf prizes (no sports prizes at all), no family prizes (I’m single!), no prizes for imdividuals (I have a family!), etc. etc. etc.
One insidious bit here is that as lower-income people are priced out by increasing rents , they can't even go downmarket because of things like this:

Investors Are Buying Mobile Home Parks. Residents Are Paying a Price
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/27/us/mobile-home-park-owner...
I mean sort of. If fuel prices are still at the whim of global markets, does it matter if the country is a net importer or not?

Electrification with domestic electricity supply seems like it would provide much greater security. Though there's still the global markets for all the electronics and materials and such for renewable generation.
Honestly "ask" as a noun, despite the hate, was one of the most useful corpwords they mentioned.

If I say "what's the ask here?" I mean the concrete part. I mean the "request" just described (by a middle-man) was so fluffy in its language I couldn't figure out what actual action we need to take to make the asker happy. It's a common situation in a corporate world, and imo deserves its own word.
My Moto Z4 has an under-screen fingerprint scanner, and I absolutely positively refuse to ever have a smartphone without such scanner. It is the best possible placement.
High LVT means you pay a high tax on the land itself and little or no tax on what you do on top of that land. It encourages highly efficient land development which means increased supply of commercial and residential units (thus reducing rents), and it makes lots of speculation prohibitively expensive. Since holding undeveloped land is just as expensive as holding developed land, you’re going to want to put it to productive use sooner rather than later.
WorkationList – Find your next workation, remote work retreat or nomad retreat
Making remote work plans is exhilarating, but it can be overwhelming with all the choices.

I mean sure. But land is limited. If you really want to build more homes you're going to have to bulldoze entire neighborhoods of single-family homes in places like Phoenix. Which is fine with me, I prefer a denser place, but I'm guessing that'd be a non-starter. And many places have sprawled so far that unless we densify it's not really all that helpful to keep carving out desert or farmland depending on where you live.

So I think there is a problem with AirBNBs. Even discounting quality of life issues that they can create for people actually living near them, they take a valuable resource for locals and turn them into pure investment plays that stay empty long stretches of time. Death to Nimbys generally, but I think you could get them on the same page as housing advocates if you went after short-term rentals.
I'll occasionally see cars like that - bright pink, or some other bright colour, and they always make me smile. I've taken to describing them as "a car that I'd never want to own, but I'm really glad it exists". Like the pink camo-wrapped Dodge Charger that I occasionally see tootling around town - do I want to own a Charger and do it up in pink camouflage? Absolutely not. Am I glad that the option exists and somebody has availed themselves of it? Absolutely yes.
In my many years since graduating college, I've never known anyone who would think less of someone for not drinking alcohol. At most it would have been a passing curiosity. Designated drivers have been a thing for decades. Non-alcoholic drink options are available everywhere. And complaining that a door prize isn't something you can use is ridiculous.

> Most folks don’t understand the effect of peer pressure on those who don’t drink or are in an early stage of recovery from alcohol problems.

It sounds to me like the author is more frustrated that other people like to talk about things that he's just not interested in when they're out socializing. The harsh reality, though, is that if you don't have something more interesting or charming for them, then yes, you're going to get ignored. That's true whether they're talking about brewing beer, smoking weed, or sports. Don't waste your time at social events you don't enjoy. Or be proactive, and join the social committee to help with the planning.
There's a useful distinction between lying and bullshitting: liers know what the truth is and want to convince you it's something else, bullshitters don't even care (or potentially, even know) what the truth is.

Governments often did things which failed and then tried to paint them as wins. They also often went for short term wins. But they were real wins (in the short term) even if they failed to get them. I think it's new to have a government run by someone so thoroughly a bullshitter that they don't care about the actual effect of their policies, just how the announcement makes them look. Because, fundamentally most politicians, that get to the top positions, actually want power and to do something with it, even if it's not something you'd agree with.
LOL that is total bullshit. In SF, they oppose high-density high-income housing too. It's total motte and bailey shit. Here's the real algorithm:

if density == low:
return "This won't solve the problem"

if income == low:
return "This ruins the neighbourhood character"

if density == mid and income == high:
return "This is gentrification and soulless coffee shops!"

if density == high and income == high:
return "This is for Arab/Chinese/local-xenophobe-target-du-jour investors only"

return "This ruins the neighbourhood character"

The absolute bullshittery around this nonsense is really something.
Well, just going to throw my rule of thumb in there.
I tend to use the Result type in asynchronous code and Throws in things that execute tmmediately.

I find Result much cleaner than the old returns of callbacks, which tended to be 2 optionals, the succesful result, or the error, or worrse, both or neither.

I won’t deny it can’t be abused to make things worse, i complained to a supplier on making a throwable combine publisher.

I disagree it's hard per se, but I'd agree it's hard to do well. Especially if you have a bunch of JS functions that return (or expect) objects with very similar but slightly different properties. Figuring out the overlap and the semantic relationship between the types is often challenging, because the original authors never thought about the problem in terms of what types of objects they were dealing with.
No, it's not hard: investment = getting paid to take risks. That's the whole point. Profits come with responsibility.

Of course, if responsibility suddenly means losses instead of effort-free gains, investors will try to squirm out of their responsibilities. Morally, though, the situation is crystal clear.

It's a pretty well document fact that it has a lot of its roots in racism.

If that makes you feel uncomfortable, so be it.

Americans spend zillions of dollars every year visiting Europe, which is full of high density housing. And come home raving about how much they love it. It does not 'cause problems'.
I agree that there's much more type wrangling when developing a library vs. typing regular app code. I don't mind it all though.
This sounds very interesting. Can you elaborate a bit further?
Your initial comment strongly suggested distrusting the information strictly based on the source, "this Twitter chap".

Reputation isn't everything. But it's a useful guide.

> their healthcare system is cheap but kills millions every year due to medical negligence.

This is a problem money can solve though. If you have the money, you can get pretty good medical care in India. "cheap but kills millions" isn't really a problem faced by most people who have the money to afford it.

> The US healthcare system - for all its flaws - has some of the best outcomes provided you have enough money to access it.

> Exactly. You need the money in the US to just be able to afford healthcare here. There are millions of people who don't have insurance (private, medicare), or have expensive deductibles to make healthcare out of reach for some.
Yes, the investors are the symptom and not the cause. They are going where the money leads them. However a big problem with institutional investors is that they also institutionalize NIMBYism. They won't just block housing in a select neighborhood, they will block housing everywhere and they put more pressure on the federal government to ensure that housing is protected as an investment class. Both will contribute to worsening the issue.

Plus even at low levels NIMBYism is often about investment. Sure, many object to new housing for reasons like "it will change the character of the neighborhood". But many others object because they are worried about the value of their own home going down. They are treating their home primarily as an investment because that is what they have been told to do their whole life. If I could snap my fingers and magically realign our political goals to maintaining stable home values instead of having them ever-increasing, many NIMBY objections would fade away.
The lowered inhibitions are a significant part of the appeal of alcohol for fostering closer relationships. There are alternative team-building approaches, but each one will alienate one group or another; for example, a sport will have a negative impact on those with mobility or co-ordination issues.
Close cooperation has many benefits and the further dissection of nations has significant costs. I don’t think it’s surprising people aren’t rushing toward what comes next.

Except for the accelerationists, of course.
This is such a twisted framing of the issue. No one wants to "abolish property ownership". In fact housing proponents want the exact opposite – give everybody the opportunity to own a house rather than a select few large corporations and investors. Let me build my own house on a piece of land in or near the city, just like my grandparents did just a couple of generations ago. Remove years worth of excessive permits, reviews and other red tape. Remove restrictive zoning laws. Remove neighbors being able to veto my property because it would cast a shadow in their garden for 6 minutes a year.

And no, "too bad, go live in the middle of nowhere" isn't an acceptable answer.
> Do we think the people making calls like that would suddenly have great ideas in the absence of data?

Personally, I would be so bold to suggest that yes the availability of data for people ill equipped to interpret it can lead to WORSE decisions than the absence of data.

That is because statistics and the general skill to correctly interpret data is actively counterintuitive. Untrained people will be more likely to generate wrong conclusions than right conclusions.

So, yes data in the wrong hands can and will be harmful.
Why wouldn't you want this?

Committing code is not like browsing facebook, or searching on google. Even then, your name is on any posts you're making on twitter or facebook, and i'm sure google knows what you're searching.

As a maintainer, why would you want people to be able to deny making a given commit? or have them come in completely anonymously?
As an American from an immigrant family, I think the US is really losing here. We should be giving visas out liberally to any skilled professional who wants one. Immigration is the only thing that ever truly made the US stand out.

On the other hand, as a global citizen with multiple passports who hasn't lived in the US for some time, maybe this is a good thing for the rest of the world. Spreading innovation out a bit and allowing other countries to thrive. Growing up in an immigrant family, I always had a sense of diversity being America's strength. But the last decade or so the US seems to have lost sight of the value of diversity. Not completely, but in many ways, partially thanks to US hegemony and the export of the English language, Europe is currently the cultural melting pot I idealized the US as growing up.

I think the world would truly be a more peaceful and thriving place if every country were more culturally integrated.

Anyway, I'm rambling now... </soapbox>

What about Sigstore, is there any plan on supporting it?
It is literally called a duty of loyalty in many legal systems. Something you could have easily confirmed with a quick Google search in half the time it took to write your comment.
You should’ve also demonstrated attacks like ”open the line-of-business app we’ve used daily for years”. My problem is not the hit rate on actual attacks, it’s the hit rate on collateral damage
Vanilla Android or AOSP might kinda have “Linux Spirit” but I’m not sure what gets shipped on most consumer devices does… lots of random things locked down (including boot loader, sometimes), crapware all over the place, drivers and kernel changes that aren’t upstreamed making it difficult to install anything but carrier/manufacturer-flavored Android, etc.

I think most people rooting for “smartphone Linux” are looking to be able to swap and customize OSes on their phones and tablets as easily as they do on their x86 PCs without futzing around with device specific ROMs and the like.
It definitely came across that way to me in your comment as well. You associated corruption with capitalism via "and that's the name of the game" as though the objective of capitalism is to destroy public institutions, when what's actually the case is that the objective of corrupt people is to destroy or co-opt public institutions for their own benefit. The economic system is largely immaterial in that effort. Actually, you could argue the opposite in that capitalism helps prop up public institutions versus other economic systems because there are minimum levels of regulation, rule of law, and security that are required for capitalistic economies (ranging from the US, to Sweden, to Singapore) to function and for capital owners to profit.
the worst aspect of this is that these landlord corporations are of course going to be paying off politicians to create laws, regs etc that will further restrict and make more costly the building of new housing... it's a vicious circle
"You screwed up" is a tricky one. Yes, individuals do screw up. But that's actually not very interesting; a true individual screwup (with no one else contributing) has a very small blast radius.

The bigger the screwup, the more people had a hand in it, and the less truthful it is to point to one person and say "you did it."

Let's say I merge a syntactically incorrect piece of code that brings down the entire system on the next release. Nobody notices for a few hours and the company loses a bunch of money. Did I screw up? Yes I did, but that's the tiniest piece of it.

* How did my change get merged? Who reviewed it? Did nobody test it or notice that it had no test coverage that would exercise my stupid change? Do we have any standards or accountability for review quality?

* How did it get released? Do we not have any automated tooling to stand up a candidate release in staging and do smoke tests?

* How did the downtime last so long? Do we have any operational monitoring? Was someone on call? Who is accountable for system uptime overall?

A bad boss would just throw the person closest to the cause of the failure -- me -- under the bus. But who among us has never committed bad code? That's why we build systems for code review, for automated test, for release QA, for operational monitoring. And if all those systems fail or are inadequate, it's not really the fault of any single developer who was essentially walking a tightrope without a net.
I'm talking about the author of the article I cited, Jerusalem Demsas.
> I believe the PiBox OP linked is intended to be a PiBox that comes pre-installed with their software

...and yet the page for that pibox product makes no mention of photostructure at all, let alone saying it's pre-installed. I'm just trying to point this out. The linked page would appear to be a complete non sequitur if not for the fact that I can see '/photostructure' in the URL.
If the only reason a person is having a conversation with me is so they can be a better conversationalist tomorrow, than they can fuck off. I worked out today, I ate healthy today, I worked hard and did chores for my family, and praticed my art forms and I did it all for today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with planning for tomorrow, but there is a problem with seeing "every action you take" that way.

Why do you sense this as a strong aversion to people improving themselves, and not a strong aversion to people trying to guilt people into seeing only one mindset to self improvement?
I can empathize with the author here that types can be very challenging to get right, especially with high amounts of dynamism.

However, I think that saying it is "terrible for library developers" is a bit far. I think its terrible for developers who want to make use of advance types... which ultimately doesn't depend if you're a library dev at all.

It boils down to: "Typescript learning curve gets really steep after the basics"

The author mentions they help maintain redux-saga. I don't want to dig on them, but from my personal experience, that library takes you down quite an opinionated application path with complexity inherit to it. Heck, just making types for redux was a pain, let alone adding async and additional composability.

My take is that the author has chosen complex tech to work with, and that influences the complexity in their types.
I'd love to buy a house and take care of annoying/costly maintenance myself, but the cost of entry is 7 figures for a garbage home in my area. Sometimes I dream of fixing a fucked up pipe or replacing drywall, y'know?
The android operating system is not open soruce.
> While it was a networking event for a tech event, almost all the discussions revolved around different types of alcohol - taste, brewing techniques, etc.

Other alternatives would be movies or shows you might not watch, books you haven't read, coffee but you don't drink coffee, BBQ but you are vegan, etc...
University can’t scan students’ rooms during remote tests, judge rules
Yeah, it's not limited to remote specifically, for sure.

I had the same experience in an office setting when working as an internal consultant at a big corporation. I'd often be helping teams on the other side of the globe on short-lived projects.

When you don't ever meet the people you're working with face to face, it's just easier to misinterpret what people say.
> every time I went out with friends

The author isn't talking about going out with friends, he's talking about work events that are centered around alcohol.
