Wait, when did HN become reddit?!
My guess was a tainted thickening agent, I doubt it was put in maliciously, there was no top hatted man twirling his mustache cackling "haha now we will put anti freeze into our cough syrup and kill the children with it" but more criminal indifference as the batch of glycerin that they got for a really cheap went through a non-existant quality control process that would have found it tainted with the ethylene glycol produced at the same chemical factory.
The rate of NYC housebuilding was fastest in the 1950s when its rent control laws were strongest and rent was most affordable. Rent control apparently doesnt inhibit construction significantly.

I suspect it inhibits NIMBYism by keeping asset values down. Land is more scarce than construction materials and labor.

High rents->high asset values->freaking out about your riculous mortgage->freakimg about additional supply driving down your property price->turning up to town planning meeting to declare a laundrette "historic".
I respectfully disagree. As a father I am amazed Alex Jones is still walking free, still walking, not still.
Does the 2TB model have any additional bells and whistles? The difference to the base model is 1300€, which is almost as much as just buying an "average laptop".

The apple website does not mention anything, but that cannot be right.

I'm used to Silicon Valley pricing. Manhattan is apparently much cheaper than I would have guessed.
Almost by definition the Europeans coming to the US weren't happy with their living arrangements in Europe, so it's not surprising they came up with different arrangements. And establishing a homestead on what was wildland didn't leave much time for social events anyway, so also not surprising socialization wasn't a priority.
Why would it be immoral for society to do things in its best interests, instead of only yours?

Whether these actions work or not, it is not immoral to attempt them.

There is no 'human right to profit at the expense of others'.
This was probably meant as reply to sibling comment. Or you just misunderstood my comment. (Was talking about UX not the implementation.) That said how Waydroid differs from Anbox? It looks like the exact same approach. (And Anbox was a mess to install and performance was subpar.)
What helped me better understand floats, was playing around with them in their bit representation.

For example, if you go to https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html and enter 1.0. Then use +1 and -1 to go through ULPs.
So you’re hoarding resources that could help Cameroon citizens and don’t care. Got it.
The problem with product managers in most companies is entirely one of heavy (I'd even say stupid) processes. Their job is to interact with customers, figure out their most pressing needs, and get them across to the development team.
They should not act like they manage the dev team, nor should everything revolve around discussions with PMs. PMs should prioritize the backlog and trust devs to get the job done and devs should trust PMs to prioritize things correctly. Discussion should only happen when something is unclear. Importantly, devs can and should prioritize technical tasks over user stories and PMs need to accept that.
Noob here. Why is Linux breakage even a thing? Is it complete rewrites, new drivers, a design decision?
This article reads like it was written by the CIA.
Well, when working with with malevolent economic actors, stopping intervention is probably the last thing you want to do. It’s like saying you’ll stop pursuing robberies because there are always robberies.
People always say that. But the fact that gold was considered incredibly valuable by literally every civilization for thousands of years makes it a lot more durable than, like the English language, or books.

I mean like when the Europeans arrived in pre-Colombian America looking for gold, the people they encountered also had it as a major cultural attachment too, without any coordination whatsoever.

I’m not sure there’s a better definition of intrinsic value than that.
Moving all the money into the hands of landlords means that the population has no money to spend on anything else. This is massively detrimental to society.
Does it mean that mutations in the junk DNA are evenly distributed among the population because supposedly they don’t affect anything?
Really, because to me it seems like government control of inflation rates through monentary policy has been a very succsful intervention.
Well that does nothing to address my questions, but at a minimum New York landlords are paying the highest taxes in the country. They are literally being forced to contribute to the public good with a little or no oversight as to the effectiveness of their involuntary contributions. Also you appear to have hallucinated things I didn’t say.
Yeah. The law wants people to be able to live in an apartment without paying to build it, where someone else handles the maintenance and the rent doesn't go up that much. Great deal for the tenant, if they can find it.

But it is going to be mighty difficult to take people who take up the landlord side of that deal. And things like, say, 60k rent controlled apartments sitting empty seems like a reasonable outcome - y'know, might have to be an idiot to rent out an apartment for a deal that bad. It sounds ruinous. Sounds like a bad law, really.
This is pretty silly. These drawbacks are well known, and for the vast majority of users WSL 2 IS a huge step forward.
There is never an effort to measure the outcomes and reverse course.
At least in some versions of Adobe software, on some platforms (was years since I used Adobe so I can't remember if it was on Windows or OS X), once you've selected one blending mode, the drop-down control is still in focus so you can use the scrollwheel on your mouse to cycle through them.
It's very odd phrasing though, isn't it?

"China" is the subject of the sentence, while "800 million people" is the subject.

The implication being that China - or the CCP - was doing the lifting. The people just kind of passively did got carried upwards.

Even the choice of verb is illuminating. "Lifting", making the number after it add a sense of difficulty to the achievement that "China" accomplished.

People do not talk this in real life. No one is broke, moves to Boise, Idaho, and then says "Boise, Idaho lifted me out poverty".

So yes, "China lifed X people out of poverty" is 100% a canned propaganda phrase. The more neutral description of what actually happened is "China transitioned from a low income economy to a middle income economy".
The GTK file picker meme is finally dead
What a great story! Easily adaptable to the new Beyonce/ Jay-Z/ Ed Sheeran/ BTS/ Grimes/ etc. release, much like the last round of album release stories. Yes, the Atlantic has its finger on the pulse of modern culture and people should read it, it is truly a journal of the now.
That all sounds shitty but I don't see how that's valuable information. They did eventually solve the problem and there's no comparison to some ML success story.

Human minds can be really good at diagnostics and still fail sometimes when faced with very difficult cases.

In my experience, ML would just classify everything as a very common disease and people would call it a success because it has an 80% effectiveness rate.

The problem that needs to be solved is a case like your example, not diagnosing the common cold.
I, and most people I worked with, couldn't care less if the border/title bar looks slightly odd, the same happens on Windows a lot.

The issue ain't different WMs or toolkits, but a lock-in effort from Microsoft with HW and SW vendors, they still had to create WSL to actually improve their dev experience though, could not manage that without.

Most people ain't technical experienced or interested in IT and just don't care enough to actively switch their OS, so they use what's shipped with it, if it was a Linux Distro they would just use that.
The system seems to working pretty well for you. You are fed, have a home and a computer, and are probably very wealthy compared to the rest of world. What exactly is broken?
Were houses rent controlled in addition to multifamily residential? I'd expect developers to focus on houses when multifamily residential apartment buildings were under rent control. Is that the point you were trying to make?
Grown-ups don’t throw tantrums like you do.
FP languages are quite immune to that. Sure, you can probably do some stupid thing, but that likely never happens. At least that’s my experience with Clojure REPLs and Haskell’s GHCI.
People have really short memories.

Circa 2000, there was a website called "fuckedcompany.com" [0] that chronicled the failing dot-coms of that era, after the dot-com bubble "burst". The website encapsulated the glee that people felt at pointing out what they considered stupid dot-com ideas and internet companies that failed to capitalize on what many people consider over-hyped promises.

There were a lot of stupid ideas during the 2000 dot-com. There were also a lot of companies and founders that started their companies during this time that are stalwarts of the internet and general computing industry.

There are a lot of bad ideas in the cryptocurrency space. There also might be a lot of good ideas. I would urge people to be a little more circumspect about cryptocurrency technologies.

> The G4 redesign predates Mac OS X

Predates Cheetah by two months, not Mac OS X. If you want to get super pedantic, Mac OS X is a continuation of NeXTSTEP which is partially based on 4.3BSD-Tahoe, but there were also the Betas including the Public Beta from September 2000 which Apple would have happily sold you for $29.95.

I don’t think there’s anything in particular about the Unibody MBP’s feature set that makes it more of a “professional-ass UNIX machine” than even say, the Pismo PowerBooks though other than about a decade’s worth of iterative improvements. They could all run Terminal, PhotoShop, PERL and AppleScript. It’s the software that defines them, and a MacBook Pro from the unibody era could also be reasonably called a “professional-ass NT machine” if you were primarily booting Windows on it.
> Ironically, a lot of the organic content posted on Reddit is probably better at generating social unrest, demoralizing citizens, and altering perceptions of the United States than any foreign adversary could manufacture.

Why would anyone need to manufacture content? There’s plenty to grab from already. But you have to wonder if we’ll learn in the future that the reason my Facebook feed is flooded with outrage about the treatment of Uyghurs, and the reason my Tiktok feed went from being memes and dances to a live stream from Black Lives Matters protests was due to organic growth of content or due to State sponsored manipulations.

I don’t think anyone would argue that the content is manufactured, but most the time, most people just don’t care about these things and will stick to their baby-falling over memes on both Facebook and Tiktok, so when the platforms turn into politically oriented outrage machines it’s natural to wonder if it’s due to those who stand to gain from these narrative, of if it’s just because there weren’t that many babies that fell over that particular week.
Interesting to monitor how / when this posture changes - we have methods of coercion available to bring ASML back on board with the program
Storehouses of Empire: Liverpool's historic warehouses

It's built by a conglomeration of users across various projects, with differing levels of quality and support. There is only so much a distro maintainer can do to curate and test and avoid breakage. The permutations are too many for any manual process to handle, so you've got breakages.
I think this a good summary of why civil suits usually can only be brought by a party that actually suffered some sort of harm. (The ADA works that way in 48 states, avoiding abusive suits.)
Jup.

And every post is short, to the point and links it sources at the end.

I find this really refreshing in contrast to the avalanche of SEO optimized "Let's start with the history of money in 6000 BC" spam.

This respects both our, mine and her, limited lifetimes.
I don’t think he’d have that luxury. Especially not if a situation snuck up as they often do in war. Not that I think any of this is likely.

25% of their factory output is a lot. Sure it’s an amount that won’t leave the company in ruin, but it’s a lot. Teslas growing stock price basically funds all of spaceX so divesting is unlikely.

Realistically, SpaceX filled the mission musk had. It proved that space is viable with better tech. They’re really beholden to the government and he won’t be able to shake that.
Why would you garbage-collect older working generations without testing whether the latest works. You'd have to go out of your way to do that, and it goes against the entire purpose of it.
Why not rewrite it to for loops, we need to also accommodate for the programmers who don't know what's .map.
Right! I can't refute that. I wouldn't have thought of it, and that's why it's important to have other eyes on descriptions of these phenomena.

Furthermore, this is something we can measure, and hypothesize, and predict - Science.
Wasn’t it like 50 years ago when NYC landlords were torching their own rent stabilized property for the insurance? Because the rent levels were making the buildings money sinks?

We’ve come full circle.
Postgres is a simple stack.

On AWS, you can have a Postgres instance with multi-region availability. How do you plan to do this with your own hardware?
The first image, before the text of the article, has this caption: "Wings of the painted lady butterfly – Vanessa cardui, modified by deletion of non-coding DNA sequence."

hi Matt :)
TC works just fine, if your definition of fine is 'I want to send my money into a black hole'.
I totally understand. I'm a big fan of Rust myself, but we decided to go with TypeScript so we could quicker iterate on ideas and introduce new features. Another reason is that our goal is to be a community-driven project and I think we both can agree that there are far more web developers using JS than any other programming language

Our workflow specs are open-source as well, so if anybody wants to contribute a compatible runner written in other language - you're welcome!

State machines are amazing at keeping things well defined and simple. I love using them in code.
Why would it be a shorthand for cryptography instead of cryptococcosis? There are many words starting with crypto, but cryptocurrency is the most popular one.
It seems like Pyinfra is sort of declarative in the same style as Ansible. Is this a correct assumption?
People don't need houses. Lots of people don't have houses and do just fine.
Could be, although Vietnam was fundamentally different than North Korea. Even if you compare Korea to Vietnam, it is highly unlikely the economic situation had been similar to South Korea.

Anyway this is all alternate history, just as the discussions in GP. How could we say something is a failure when we have no real way of understanding its effects
I have the solution but it will require massive government investment and oversight.

Incentivize construction and cutting red tape to mass produce housing of a few million houses a year. This will hurt property owners but will open up affordability.

How it will work you all can argue
I wouldn't send money through the Post, and the idea sounds naive to me as well.

I don't believe that nothing has changed, but it's hard to point to individual events that prove how they've changed, because they're small things that lead to changes, which lead to more changes. It's still very different between the cities and the more rural suburbs and fully rural villages, and you can see it very clearly when you watch for the small things, e.g. can you leave your bike outside a small store without locking it up. It is what it is, it's not coming back once it's lost.

Today, crime that abuses the remains of Trust is rampant. Old people are tricked out of money by abusing their trust in authorities and their general trust that when somebody calls and says their daughter had an accident, that their daughter had an accident, because nobody would do such a cruel thing. And yet they do, happily laughing about it on TikTok, killing trust.
The irony is that Taleb was a big promoter of bitcoin for many years, and even wrote the forward for the first edition of "The bitcoin standard" praising it for being anti-fragile and a black swan event that mainstream financial experts will fail to understand.

Around 2020 he fell out with some of the btc community due to their covid stance (he was and is very anti-anti-lockdowns and anti-anti-vaxers). Since then he gradually moved first to btc skeptic then to a major anti-btc figure.
I earn more than 2x my starting salary and I think this is common for software engineers.
Except by 2000 there were hundreds of Web companies that had become real companies. It was obvious that Google, eBay, Yahoo and Amazon would survive the downturn of 2000-2001. While there were many bad ideas, there were obviously many good ideas that had become real businesses. And this was just 7 years after Congress had change the law to allow commercial activity on the Internet.

By contrast, Bitcoin is almost 15 years old, but in all this time, no one has been able to find a large-scale use for crypto, other than financial speculation and buying illegal drugs and evading national capital controls -- in other words, it remains almost entirely used for criminal activity.
Probably ‘.kkrieger’ would be a more-current inspiration, though it's almost twenty years old itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger

My uneducated guess is that perhaps the thing of the day now is proper voxels (not Minecraft's “voxels”) and lots of shaders on top. But then again, this endeavour doesn't really differ from just making experimental game engines.
Yep, I commented below - these are very subtle signals that we're not aware of, but they can't be dismissed either.
Russias manufacturing was completely destroyed by exposure to the free markets during the Yeltsin era, with military manufacturing only being insulated, due to national security considerations. Hard to see how Russia might rebuild back this industry from effective zero, though complete isolation will certainly spur the effort - Iran's ability to produce highly effective combat drones, DRPK with ballistic missiles - good examples of what can be done if the internal market is shielded from foreign competition
Crypto is short for cryptozoology, obviously.

But to actually answer your question, it is because the crypto in cryptocurrency itself is short for cryptography. But a lot of stuff in the “crypto” space (NFTs, ERC20 tokens, etc.) don’t even have any cryptography associated with them anymore.
I’m torn because “The love song of J Alfred Prufrock“ is perhaps my favorite poem. And it is already difficult enough to understand. I find “The waste land“ to be a much harder slog yet still seductively well written.

FWIW his earlier Sweeney poems[1], [2] are more traditionally crafted, with rhyme and meter and everything, and I feel they are masterpieces. Much easier to approach than his latter works.

One of the things, for me, was that Debian's releases were confusing. Ubuntu had a clear schedule, aligned to a calendar, with a clear out of life policy.

The second thing was that I couldn't figure out my way from debian.org, to the relevant ISO to download. There's just so many options, scattered explanations, I felt overwhelmed by the site and couldn't figure it out reliably.

The third thing is the out of box experience. Every major Debian descendant has this mentioned in the articles that compare them. Ubuntu is like a refined, user friendly Debian. Mint further polishes Ubuntu. Elementary is designed for newbies and to have excellent OOTB experience. And so on.

Fourth thing, that Debian Stable seems to be behind in version numbers, and Debian Testing seems to be not stable enough. Maybe these are not true, but they haven't inspired confidence in me either.

Fifth, Debian came with some proprietary things off by default, so no WIFI on my laptop, no MP3, bluetooth, other minor inconveniences. I love open source, but I'm not a purist, and I wanted to make use of my computer first, and improve on it later.

After Ubuntu pushing their current in-house bullshit again (snaps this time), and Mint behaving weird on my main computer for some reason (maybe the multiple release upgrades), I took the plunge into Debian after some research, and ended up on using Debian Testing with KDE. So far, the experience has been good, but this really feels like a Linux enthusiast's distro, where I had to look up things on the Internet, because the installed just haven't explained anything - me, with 10+ years of Linux experience, ending up with installing a system that won't boot into the graphical desktop, despite selecting the KDE option in the installer!
So what was his problem with two button mice anyway?
> Fucked Company allowed employees to post anonymous comments on why their employer was losing money, had abused employees, or was discriminating against some group, identifying unethical managers and defective products or services by name. Employees were free to explain why they thought the companies were going out of business.

This really doesn't sound like the same thing at all. Just saying “bad ideas exist everywhere” isn’t a valid retort. Plus unlike crypto, web and software technology has actually almost consumed every inch of our reality.
If the market is inelastic, why does construction ebb and flow?
Why Weathergraph (my hourly forecast app for iOS) was never in the cloud:

Because I’d be dumb to spend hundreds of dollars and engineering complexity for a stable load service, when a 20 EUR VPS (10 EUR until recently - see, scaling!) runs everything I need (forecast proxy, geocoding, website, payment verification) just fine :).

(Link: https://apps.apple.com/cz/app/weathergraph-weather-widget/id... )
That's actually in line with what I said. There are other browsers with similar aspirations, but Brave happened with a broader political current, so it ended up with a dominant position in that particular market, which became self-reinforcing.

Once people feel loyal to a brand (or anything really) the original reasons don't have to stay top of mind for very long, and the loyalty symbol becomes a sort of in-group signal in its own right. It's not very different from fashion signatures in music subcultures.
If they are multi-tenancy buildings, then you need to buy the entire building, do a TOC or make a co-op.

They aren’t individually purchasable units.
