i work for a consulting company and prefer to cradle-to-grave my projects but it makes it hard to move up the corporate ladder. I'm working on a proposal now for a large project that will span at least 3 years. If I ask to get staffed on it then i know it will get delivered as sold and I may get promoted at the end but definitely won't get promoted during the project. On the other hand, if i'm an author on three or four wins for large projects over a year then i'm much more likely to get promoted regardless of how those turnout at the end of their schedules.

Yes, and that's my point: it's not action that the user can take to resolve accusations, and it's not because of abusive behavior it's just `response.status(200 if random.randbool() else 403)`

read_text() is simpler and _much_ clearer (and thus, Pythonic) when you're doing trivial file operations like reading the contents into a variable. Opening up a whole context manager is still an option when you have to do more complicated stuff to the file.
That's true, ReCAPTCHA is a pain in the butt on Tor Browser and the likes. So are similar alternatives.

The data[1] shows that over 70% of all of SF's unhoused people became homeless while living in San Francisco. What we're dealing with is a housing crisis.

Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate. [2]

I fail to understand why people feel entitled to live in a place they can't afford. I would love to live in Beverly Hills, but I can't.
I was really hoping for a Kindle with USB-C and page turning buttons; inexplicably this still does not exist.
No way average SF salary is that low.
pay secrecy really only helps to make employers more money while punishing the people that aren't as good at negotiating that one week of their life that they did it at that job.

just like tying healthcare to an employer only really benefits the employer and not the people. (people accept jobs that they otherwise wouldn't take because "they need the insurance" etc.)
I guess flat design can be tied back into that tension/mixed metaphor between electromechanical and print analogs - it's based on a decision to lean towards the print side of things. Actually the designers of early-ish influential "flat" designed systems such as Windows Phone 7 were quite self-conscious about this, e.g., https://web.archive.org/web/20120322023540/http://mkruzenisk...

Try teaching c++ to a new programmer and you’ll understand the struggles people have with types.

You might have forgotten, but you had head scratchers too when you where learning. Everyone has them. I’ve taught people who are absolute geniuses, even they struggled initially. And sure you get over it, just like people can become quite adapt at programming in esoteric languages like brainfuck, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any better ways.

I know lots of normally functioning adults who cannot afford rent in San Francisco. Many of them have bigger, nicer houses than my apartment - elsewhere than San Francisco.
Some of the replies point out that it's always more complicated than that.

One part of the problem is that the sheer cost of housing in San Francisco (and the surrounding) area is out of control. Some homeless people are simply priced out of the market. That generally is caused by a general lack of new construction in San Francisco and the Bay Area. But, I doubt that magically increasing the housing stock overnight will "solve" homelessness. (Because there are many reasons for homelessness.)

When I lived in the S.F. Bay area for almost a decade, I was shocked that the homeless problem was so bad. Where I'm from, the weather does put a sense of urgency on homelessness, because it's much more difficult to camp unsheltered in the winter. The Bay Area doesn't have the late October-November urgency to get people into shelters; nor do the homeless have the urgency to follow someone else's rules for a bit or risk freezing to death.

What I would suggest is to try to avoid seeing homeless as "others." Many people are homeless for different reasons; and it's important to empathize with the person who doesn't want the tent on their front door as much as it's important to empathize with the person in the tent.
I use Synology. Its not the best, but it Just Works and got the "Shell" for only $120, plopped in 2 8TB spinners, and haven't really touched it other than moving house 3 times.

If I was going to do it over again, I would get one of their commercial grade NASes/ They are a bit more expensive but have a decent CPU and RAM in them and can run VMs/containers/etc and be your own little cloud.

They also have some cool features like, the ability to link 2 remote Synology NASes together and sync back and forth as well as backing up to any backup service you want.

Further clarification requires far more nuance and assessment than is likely to be read. There's probably not even one single cause but a multitude of social ills. Some people in this situation might experience one, but are probably each a unique snowflake of mixed problems. Unaffordable housing, mental illness (across a huge spectrum of many different illnesses, probably several different experts just for this), even the occasional grifter who just happens to prefer panhandling or urban scavenging to scrape by.

My belief is that homelessness / 'unsheltered' is a catchall result of all the gaps in society's integration of individuals; and it's also a national level problem since the individuals can also be shipped around like those migrants that made the news recently. At least in America, but I've also heard that one of the emotionally motivating factors of Brexit were migrants from outside of the EU, we refuse to even provide a path and set of requirements for those who do want to participate in the system that's setup (instead in the US it's "build the wall" or "war at the border" extremes). Closing gaps in social safety nets and providing pathways for those who are troubled to integrate into society in mutually useful ways, or perhaps even caring for those who are incapable of such self care when provided help getting out of that hole, logically seems like a far harder challenge than any single city can face in a vacuum when we can't even handle easier issues on a national level.

There is a lot of diligence and headaches when you are involving the bank's money. Sellers like cash offers and it's at least a tiebreaker factor when you have two equal offers, in fact many sellers will prefer an all-cash offer even if it's a bit less in the end (small buyers are gonna wanna quibble about another couple grand for property defects too).

Yes, it's perfectly sensible to use the bank's money when it's a fairly sure bet and the interest rate is low... but there is a big complexity cliff that exists between "used 0.1% of the bank's money" and "used 0% of the bank's money". Using 0% of the bank's money is preferable when closing the deal at least.

If you are in a position to make an all-cash offer but you want financing, you could probably buy the property in cash and then get a mortgage after. That's not the usual workflow for homebuyers but I don't see why you couldn't do it, it's just like refinancing really.
Of those 3 I can explain SF and LA (nice weather) but no idea about NYC.
You don't need an individual's salary to "address pay inequality". You need statistics along the axes of inequality that you choose to care about (which is another discussion altogether...)

Pointing out (rightly) that H1B salaries are public is not a great argument; I think it's pretty lousy that we publish the salaries of individual immigrants. We should stop doing that, and publish anonymized data instead.

But at the end of the day, there's no law of the universe that any piece of information should or shouldn't be public. These are cultural norms, and fairly debated.

> This has little to do with the availability of housing, or the cost of housing.

This is a startlingly ignorant take. Shelter is among the basic human needs. If people were starving to death, would you blame mental illness or food prices?

> Progressive attempts to solve this problem have all failed

Yes. Because they don't focus on creating more housing. Not "affordable" housing, just housing.

They're called "progressive" attempts because the city's politics is dominated by progressives. But every property owner and voter, regardless of political stripe, is responsible for this state of affairs.

There is exactly 1 solution to California's "housing crisis". More housing. Not "affordable" housing. Not mass transit alone. More. Housing. Moar. Build baby build. If that doesn't work, you know what you do? Build more housing. Beat those prices into the ground with construction cranes and hammers.
> Long-term public support for the entire population, even the inconveniently vulnerable and expensive part of the population, is the only solution.

Right, the entire population of the US, which means solutions has to come from the federal government because of freedom of movement within the US.

The only solution available for state, county, and city governments is incarceration. Unless they want to blow up their budgets and see people who pay into the system move out and people who are net recipients of benefits move in.

They don't only hire recently laid off people. Most people who apply do that for other reasons I think. Also, maybe eg Google s recruiting accuracy is better than other companies lay-off accuracy

I'm not. You can do something similar with a home equity loan, but you can also do a cash-out refinance. The main distinction is that a refinance, like a mortgage on a home you don't own out-right has a better rate than a home equity loan or HELOC

There is some good effort towards that kind of dynamism being done by the Cyberscript mod[1] team, using lua scripting. It's a new project, but they already have things like faction relations and inter-faction battles implemented.

If there were a million empty houses in San Francisco that were available free of charge, there would still be a massive homelessness problem because the real issue is not lack of housing, it's drug addiction and mental illness.
They had me do the same problem at Amazon too.
You want to leave drugs users, on the most potent substances ever created, in open-air drug camps full of violence, rape, filth, more drugs, etc? Do you expect them to one day pull the fentanyl out of their arm and walk over to the Apple store to get a job?

The drugs, and the camps, kill people. If they don't have the wherewithal to move then we need to do it for them. They can't get better while living in filth and honestly can't choose to do better. Once they're imprisoned, in a drug program - not a jail, for the 3-5 years it takes to actually detox they'll be ready to start to get clean and on their feet.
The Microsoft Store has been trying to find the right policy for that. For a brief couple of months policy 10.8.7 accidentally forbid charging for any open source, in the hopes to counteract some of the people profiting from open source that were not official maintainers, but that policy change was rolled back because there are several legitimate open source projects that the official maintainers use store sales as a useful donation stream.

Meanwhile there is a bullet point in policy 10.1.1 that is almost directly what you are asking for, it is currently: "Your product must not claim to be from a company, government body, or other entity if you do not have permission to make that representation."

I certainly believe that "other entity" covers most open source organizations that aren't specifically companies already (or wrapped in a Foundation/Conservancy that acts as a "corporate parent").

The problem can't be solved with just policies though, the real key is enforcement: the fake listings from non-maintainers of open source need to be reported to be enforced. That likely means review time by staff. Tweets like the one linked here today can be calls to arms to submit user reports to help Microsoft know there's a possible problem here. Hopefully policies get enforced (eventually).
Let's hope it will not end like Microsoft Expression. We actually bought a few licenses because it looked promising, but what a sorry way to go. IIRC Microsoft even offered refund for some purchased licenses.
this is cute.
I'm getting ~15 FPS on this demo, which is roughly the same FPS I got on my potato PC when Doom 3 launched. Really brings me back.

I'm used to seeing Doom running on all kinds of platforms, but it's inspiring and humbling to see Doom 3 - a game I have vivid memories of being in awe of - running in a browser. It really highlights how far tech has come when I wasn't looking. In many ways, my old eyes don't see much different from Doom 3 high end graphics and the graphics of modern games.
It's difficult to separate out whether their abstract Constitutional ideology exists prior to their political leanings, or vice versa, because the two are so closely correlated. There are no "originalist" left-wing justices, and it's impossible to tell whether one becomes an originalist because the same thinking also causes them to have right-wing views, or vice versa, or if there is some other underlying cause.

It is clear that they are chosen for their positions based on the expected outcomes. Regardless of what's going on behind the closed doors, the outcomes seem entirely pre-determined based on the political affiliation of the President who nominated them and the Senate who confirmed them.

I personally don't think that the legal reasoning is as consistent as you believe it is, but I think that's a matter of opinion. I also don't think it matters, since the outcomes are the only thing that matters and are so highly correlated with partisanship -- as they were designed to be. The effect on the individual is the same.

Presumably we'll find out in this instance. The OP was claiming that the Court would certainly vote not to uphold a state law from their political allies. I've explained why I disagree. Next June we'll find out.

I don't see any advantage to being homeless. Literally every human being without mental issues would prefer having a roof over their head. This is a market failure.

Why don't we take an API-driven approach for our databases as well?
I am the Co-Founder/CEO of https://www.tigrisdata.com/ and the author of this post where I discuss the API-driven approach for databases.

We, as developers, love APIs because it means we can concentrate on business logic and hand over other services to others. For example, if the app needs payment processing support, why build my own when I can integrate Stripe through its API?

We need to bring the same API-driven approach to databases as well. But it is not just a matter of putting an API layer in front of every database we have. We need to consolidate the everyday database operations such as CRUD, Search and Event Streaming down to a single API layer. This can only be achieved through a cohesively built platform.

Apple and many other services are truly becoming unhealthy for the society at large. not individuals, but the global ecosystem.

they are destroying information at a rate that is almost unprecedented. I think they probably burn a library worth of information pretty frequently and just move along after salting the earth....

I see it with all sorts of platforms that claim to be innovative....they are so short sighted and think they can subtle hide their greed...
It's really amazing how DALL-E missed the boat. When it was launched, it was a truly amazing service that had no equal. In the months since then, both Midjourney and Stable Diffusion emerged and got to the point where they produce images of equal or better quality than DALL-E. And you didn't have to wait in a long waitlist in order to gain access! They effectively gave these tools free exposure by not allowing people to use DALL-E.

Furthermore, the pricing model is much worse for DALL-E than any of its competitors. DALL-E makes you think about how much money you're losing continuously - a truly awful choice for a creative tool! Imagine if you had to pay photoshop a cent every time you made a brushstroke. Midjourney has a much better scheme (and unlimited at only 30/month!), and, of course, Stable Diffusion is free.

This is a step in the right direction, but I feel that it is too little, too late. Just compare the rate of development. Midjourney has cranked out a number of different models, including an extremely exciting new model ("--testp"), new upscaling features, improved facial features, and a bunch more. They're also super responsive to their communtiy. In the meantime, OpenAI did... what? Outpainting? (And for months, DALL-E had an issue where clicking on any image on the homepage would instantly consume a token. How could it take so long to fix such a serious error?) You have this incredible tool everyone is so excited to use that they're producing hundred-page documents on how to get better results out of it, and somehow none of that actually makes it into the product?
