> and they mostly mean a job at Google.

I don't wish ill on anyone, but hopefully the incoming recession will re-balance the incentives once more, it's crazy to see all this hate addressed at humanities on a website/forum set-up by a guy made "famous" (among the geek "elites") for writing a book called "Hackers and Painters". Must be those crazy high comps, they now allow them to ignore almost anything in life that's related to "painters".
Luxembourg is a strange example but there are a lot of countries in Europe that invest in education. Germany has essentially free college and university education for everyone.
Rasplex is a Plex client not a server.

Installing a Plex server involves these steps on a Raspberry

As opposed to just going to the Google Play store and installing it on the Shield a getting updates.

Besides the Raspberry is going to struggle transcoding, the Shield supports hardware transcoding for Plex.
Let me guess, your passport cover is painted with the correct color. You probably never had to submit a mountain of paperwork officially translated to English because you committed the crime that is to help your mother back in your home country to pay for medicine. Your bank never blocked your funds and demanded explanations on why you withdraw that cash on an ATM. You've never been through the AML racist and fascist bullshit that subverts the concept of people being innocent into proven guilty. You probably also never lived through the hell of hyperinflation or government mandated confiscation of savings accounts[0].

Did I got right?

> After 9pm, those streets are desolate

My impression of Palo Alto as a single person was that it was beautiful, but quiet. It seemed to be oriented around family life, and families are generally not out and about after 9pm.

People looking for nightlife tended to gravitate towards San Francisco.
Environmentalists pose a bigger obstacle to climate policy than denialists
Thought-provoking post, but this is an argument I just don't get. Oxygen and CO2 are useful in chemical and industrial processes too. If you want something more limited, then Aluminium. That's the value Gold will retain if people decided it was of no use as long-term money. Gold's use in industry has very little to do with its value. What am I missing?
AI will fix human thinking the same way I fixed my cats.
25m^2 is way way too small for a comfortable life though. For single, you want around 50-60 m2 and 80m2 for a family of 3.
You can always do a DMCA counternotice. Then the onus is onto the one who sent the notice in the first place to gather evidence and take you to court. In theory, there's fines for false notices if they can't prove anything.

Of course, you better be sure that you are in the right if you're gonna do that though.
We already have consensus on the viable long term concepts. Some people have just been trying really hard to ignore and delay the acceptance of that reality.

Talking up the "chaos" and refusing to do basic things to help people when "disaster capitalists" would rather leverage the problem to funnel money to their backers is just another chapter in that fight.

As is the weird focus on land coverage. No one sensible is talking about that. It has never been a problem to worry about, and it certainly isn't a metric to aim for.
Supply shocks can lead to inflation, but hyperinflation seems to always result from bad monetary policy (specifically, money printing). To prove this point, all hyperinflation episodes have taken place on fiat currency. Usually, the bad monetary policies are a response to general chaos in the economy, but the policies themselves seem to create the hyperinflation.

I'm not an expert, but this is my conclusion from reading the article.
It says using ~15GB? already. But doesn't say RAM or disk. That seems to matter.
Ask HN: Name 3-5 books that had the most impact on your career and knowledge?
Even though there are literally thousands of books on software engineering, not many are really useful or career changing. That said, let's try and name the books that you consider to be important in your career, how you understand the field, your current skills and depth of knowledge.

Let me start:

1. Designing Data Intensive Applications

This book doesn't need any additional praise, but it's just brilliant how it manages to be both highly technical and very readable (and even capturing).

2. The Pragmatic Programmer

I wish I had read it years ago. It reads like a great conversation with an incredibly experienced friend of yours

3. Philosophy of Software Design

It's debatable whether this book is the better replacement for Clean Code, but I really like how nuanced and undogmatic it is.

It goes without saying that with such books it's often the case that you revisit some parts or delay until you have a usecase that includes the topic discussed in the book. This is especially true for DDIA.

What are your top 3-5? Please, also add your brief comments on how exactly this book changed you :)
> It's why people question what they were taught in school.

Respectfully, there has also been a multi-decade large scale concerted attack by big business and the US Republican party with the explicit aim of getting people to question education and teachers.

And please make the distinction between what was taught and what was learned. If you go back and look at what the teachers had on the curriculum you might be surprised.

>Calling people from bay-area hacker spaces to give them a hand in creating something more modern.

Tragically, from the small amount of time I've spent in SF, my understanding is this is unlikely to be their first instinct, even if it's a great idea. Doesn't the SF local government have a testy, if not outright hostile relationship with the tech worker/hacker/startup scene?

I've met people from either side of the discussion who pretty much entirely blame the opposite group (hackers or city workers) for why SF is so different now than 'back in the day.'
Very cool, but how does it affect mobile battery life? Is this something I want turned on all the time or best used when traveling?

Compilers for languages like Ada or Eiffel will usually disregard optimization algorithms that might go into "this might crash your airplane" kind of territory, whereas in C and C++ land whatever, as long as we get a few more μs, who cares.
I say this in complete ignorance, but how do Japanese people live comfortably in a 25sqm apartment? Are there communal cooking/bathroom areas? Do they use "hacks" like fold-out sofa beds to maximise space? Would that apartment house single people, and couples get a 2br or larger?

It's just hard to imagine, coming from Australia.
I'd imagine so, I just knew about the dutch railways for certain. IIRC they are doing a mechanized translation from COBOL to C++. The idea being to first test that exhaustively, and then slowly manually translate the COBOL-y-C++ to more idiomatic C++.
With you on the first part, not so much on the second. He seems to enjoy what he does and retain a sense of child-like wonder about the world. If the article is accurate, his curiosity and drive were fueled rather than suppressed.
He, didn't work out that well. I was actually surprised that some eastern parts of the sea reflooded in recent years. But considering the short amount of time where the water vanished I doubt there is much hope. I believe the pollution is also considerable, with or without soviet bio weapons.

Tokyo is affordable, if you make a lot of money.

> totally unfounded guess: that's how Google does it

I'm pretty sure Google doesn't do that. At least not as the primary information source.

I don't work for Google, so I could be mistaken, but I've provided several information updates before. Google gave me the "local guide" after my first accepted update and gave me gamified incentives to update and verify local information about businesses afterwards until I disabled them again. (Like notifications when I'm at a store to verify if there is a parking lot and things regarding to disabilities etc).

The questions are usually really innocuous and quick to answer, which pretty much makes the player into free labor for Google, one minute at a time.

I was required to provide some proof on some information like opening times and that's probably how they're linking back to the official website. But it happens through user input not automated scraping i believe.
When you’re talking about public subsidization, you have to engage in central planning.
This comment is real and should not be down voted.
You are so right.

When I will be king of the world, I will kick every professor who does this out of the universities immediately. Their didactics are so bad, they should not be allowed to teach.
A single person that collects data at the same scale at Google? I will absolutely hold him to the same standard.

People can't "research" your imaginary numbers.
I can sympathise with the argument, but economics (of which Adam Smith's capitalism; Karl Marx's communism; the original Liberalism, its successor Neoliberalism, and the Keynesian form between them, are all subsets) all pull in much the same direction with regard to the environment (i.e. valuing it mainly for what it can do and only protecting it when the cost of doing so is negligible, because the nations all compete with each other for power and influence under the constant threat of becoming irrelevant due to the growth of the others.

Other than a single world government, or treaties with similar effect, I don't see how to achieve what I think we both agree would be a good outcome.
Many many years back, when I knew nothing of programming and very little of tech words, I used to wonder why people don't use Linux instead of Windows if it is so great. Then I realized Linux is good for nerds. For the rest of tech ignorant people, it is Windows. As I read somewhere long ago, Linux is for people who know what they are doing. Windows is for people who don't know what they are doing.
The hurt tone really counters my argument. /s

I haven't really played a Far Cry game since #3 and knew almost nothing about #5. Just did some reading about it and sounds almost exactly like what I was describing up there, hahah. Given I'll be spending at least a few months off work from an injury, playing #5 sounds like the perfect way to spend some winter afternoons. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely give it a shot!

DMCA take-down notices only works if the platform that receives them want to act on them. Unless you got power and influence, nothing will happen.
Yes, I see this come up again and again. Meanwhile, I use X11 over the network every day with Firefox, GIMP, various custom apps, and a zillion other things. And it works fine, and great, and VNC isn't an option for most of it for me.
I'm not sure if the people here who say Tokyo is not affordable are reading the article. Tokyo is affordable compared to similar cities like NYC. Tokyo built 130,000 new homes vs NYC's 30,000 in 2020. Tokyo's average home price is $300,000 compared to NYC's at $778,000+.
Such is the case when government projects are built on the idea of 'the lowest bidder' making a quick buck.
Their selection criteria seems to be whack. I literally built and sold a startup but they had the nerve to reject me :D
I have 85m2 for a family of 4 and we are kind of privileged here. as many people have one generation more living under the same roof and less space. We have one bedroom, a kitchen that also serve as dining room, I have a separate office, living room, bedroom, my 2 daughters share the same room (by choice, the "office" used to be destined to be one of my daughter's bedroom). We could easily cram office, living room and parents bedroom into one room without really compromising in term of quality of life.

Sure if you are a kitchen appliances hoarder, you need a 80m2 kitchen already so there is very little room for anything else. If you know how to cook and use your hands everything is much simpler.
>I think, in the next years, we will see more and more of these useful proofs cropping up. And people will understand the value they're "storing", no pun intended.

You could be right, but the first time something like this was discussed was around 2011 [1], and here we are 12 years later, still waiting for a widespread implementation of a "useful" proof of work.

[1] https://primecoin.io/ was the first result of that.
A big feature of BTC that there is no upgrade path and it will running for a long time. No BUG can be introduced that way. Thus is very safe compared to other chains. What if there is a BUG in a future ETH / X Y Z chain upgrade?

BTC miners er being build on places with excess energy or wasted energy places and on renewable energy which have lower costs and mining chips are becoming more and more efficient. So the 'leak' to miners probably goes down.

NOBODY is in control of BTC anymore which is big plus IMHO.

BTC is the coin that created and made the crypto space possible.

So If you force me to buy something that has to be around in 20 years. I would buy BTC.

> whatever is in internal google is irrelevant, since the data is not exposed publicly

The data may not be exposed publicly but can still be sold or used against you.
Then there is no student debt crisis. Good work on solving that one. We can continue paying schools with non forgivable loans and empowering them to charge a flat tuition no matter what the expected earnings of a degree are.

The world is perfect. Those students and society are getting their monies worth in intangible benefits.
Apijet CLI – Fast prototyping tool to deploy APIs
Apijet is a Python framework for building APIs via the command line. In this tutorial, we are going to create the backend for the ToDo app for managing Notes.

We are going to run a couple of commands from the terminal and update just one python file. You will not struggle with how to pass the data, query the database or validate the JSON, apijet will do all of this for you.

It looks like a fairly inefficient way to write to me. What I've learnt is that writing and editing are two different things, and you shouldn't edit as you write. So you write a first draft quickly, without worrying about the exact words too much, and then edit. The reason this is better is because writing and editing use two different brain "modes" - writing is best done in diffuse mode because it is creative, whereas editing is best done in focused mode.
Here is the historical data for Japan's residential poperty prices. Make sure to set the start date in the chart to 1980 (direct link with these parameters does not seem possible) to know how cazy it was in the late 80s/early 90s.

Russia strikes nuclear plant in south Ukraine, damaging power plant buildings
hmmm...What is more likely:

1. Dictator redistributes land to his cronies and gangs of armed men (crucially not the people who worked on the farms who might actually have been able to run them efficiently). This has the same effect as when tried everywhere else regardless of the colours of people involved: production drops. When Zimbabwe goes from being a net exporter of food to a net importer, people lose confidence in a currency which was already extremely prone to inflation.

2. Actually the halving of agricultural production was a sign of how successful the "land reforms" were, and everything else that happened was all the white people's fault

I would say constructors are what should be used for such kind of compound initializations.

C# is going the route of allowing required/optional fields in designated initializers, and from my point of view it is just a mess for what should be a constructor call.
Sad. Who decides which law has priority though, when the laws are in conflict?

Apparently http clients are not banned by this law even though they are necessarily "part of a product" that is designed to circumvent protection,... And they are the main thing doing the actual copying. This law is still not achieving it's full potential. :D

In the same vein, there's conflict between exceptions offered by one law (fair use), and bans by this same law (software to exercise this right).

I guess the courts decide, but in practice courts don't run around looking for conflicts in laws to decide on their own, to make laws more followable by normal people, but they just decide cases brought forward by seomeone. And that someone is usually someone who benefits the most out of some particular outcome, and is thus able to pay for the case.

The whole system seems a bit prejudiced in how it works.
That's a very mechanical view of licenses.

I'll approximate: Contract violations are okay if they result in no damages. Courts determine damages by harm done. This comes down to a lot of detailed issues, including things like intent. Licenses are more complex, and I'll ignore issues like statutory damages.

A lot of licenses are GPL-compatible because although the terms differ in phrasing, the GPL has provisions which are substantively the same (e.g. attribution versus copyright notice). Courts won't care.

MIT signals one intent, and AGPL signals another. That's a big difference. I have code under AGPL, GPL, and MIT, and in the case of the AGPL code being ripped off by copilot, it undermines a lot of the purpose of having licensed the code as AGPL if others can use it without that license. For the MIT code, a lack of copyright notice+attribution would typically be mild annoyance at best.

A court would pick up on that, and act accordingly.
It's managed by people having more compound housing implements, fewer appliances, and spending more time outside of the house.

If you have ambition and have the potential to get into a nice school, then going to community college is ackin to shooting yourself in the foot. Sure, you can still have a nice career afterwards, but you're cutting yourself from many more opportunities you would have had otherwise.

"excellent instructors" depends purely on luck wherever you end up to, and pretending they are automatically better in CC is deception.
Most importantly, how bright are your classmates is the #1 thing that drives higher achievement in my experience, as the learning material is all over the internet anyway.

I would like to add that in the sort of signalling game that higher education is, making "rational" bets such as "taking a year to get partying out of your system" is very much inferior to just doing what is deemed socially acceptable (which is partying while in college).
No, it is very typically stupid. Exactly the kind of thing young men and boys do often, which is engaging in risky behavior without thinking. Most of the time the result is stupid fun. Unfortunately some are unlucky.
Go step by step.
1. Make buckets, identify standalone code (i.e. the one with no external interfaces including database read-writes) e.g. piece of code doing validations or some calculations.
2. Create a API for this with say AWS lambda functions or like.
3. Replace the old code/function with the API.
4. Take next function/piece of code and do it again.
5. In the next phase, involve functions having external interfaces such e.g. the one which is reading the databaes

Of course it does. We might disagree with the tradeoffs it's making, it might not be worth it at all, it might be a wrong approach from the start. But saying it does not solve any problems is disingenuous at best.

It will take years but I believe yes it will. SNI was a big privacy mistake.

Seems to me that intermediation is the problem, though I'm not sure if I understand the US system very well.

Imagine if you couldn't get a loan from a third party, where the university lets you owe it the fees, but you cannot borrow the money from some student loans company or the government.

Then the university would figure out which people it thought would be likely to pay back the money, and which are perhaps worthwhile to fund without monetary reward. And the uni would be well placed to make such decisions.

If the money comes from a third party, the uni gets the money regardless and doesn't need to care. The lender can't be defaulted on, and so they don't care either.
Their argument is not baseless at all. Zoning laws ban the building of new homes in certain zones. Zones which do allow housing in America are height restricted and area restricted. Tokyo allows house building homes in every zone but two. This includes building homes on top of existing buildings where "very little land is available".
