Large-scale housing developments exist largely because of the regulatory burden. If you need to spend years, if not decades, shepherding a project through a bureaucracy, then you need that economy of scale in units of housing per unit of regulation to make a project financially viable.

The lesser the regulatory burden, the more organic development you'd see, including a much larger proportion of smaller projects and smaller buildings. Large steel or steel + concrete structures are grossly inefficient in terms of construction costs per square footage, except where property values are incredibly high. (Wherever you see such structures in areas without extremely expensive property prices, you can be sure there are other factors at play--regulation, government funding, etc.) That's why 5-over-1 (wood framing over concrete) is so common where possible. Some people might complain that many 5-over-1 buildings have too large of a footprint, but that's also largely due to the same regulatory economics.

Anyhow, if communities simply made a laundry list of things they don't want--e.g. no more than 4 stories, ground footprint smaller than N square feet, etc--and then provided for approval by-right (i.e. if your project meets those restrictions, you're automatically approved), then most areas suffering from severe housing supply issues would be in a dramatically better situation than they are now, California especially.

But NIMBYs won't accept approval by-right; they want every project, no matter how small, to go through the same endless gauntlet where every interest group or interested party effectively gets a veto based on whatever imaginary impact they can think of ([insert comparison to security theater and fantastical terrorist threats]), with predictable and deliberate results.
I've had phantom pain. I no longer do.

It's still telling you something is wrong, though perhaps a different something.
If you have assets in any* exchange, get them out now. Using regulated exchanges defeats the whole point. Fiat transaction fees are lower / nonexistent compared to CC ones so if you want to gamble on the relative value of something just stick to the stock market, and if you want to send currency on something that is regulated by a government anyways, might as well use Fiat.

The only thing regulated exchanges do is profit by losing you value via fees and then some more via taxes while carrying risks of being rugged or having "your" assets frozen. Just... why?
That may be so, but in normal communications, such as speech it is tone of voice and possibly non-verbal hints that will indicate sarcasm. Online you don't have that and the 'collateral damage' can result in a lot of wasted bits from people reacting to the words rather than to the joke and this in turn can drown out the rest of the discussion.
> we are looking for for prodigal engineers with a true love and talent for computers:

prodigal:

adjective

1. spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant.
Yes, as a leftist, I’m not a believer in that. I’m of the opinion that the supposed risk that investors take is overstated. The average investor is quite wealthy compared to most workers, and can afford to loose a bunch of that money without it causing significant harm, even leaving the investor still significantly wealthier then the worker. On top of that, many investors have insurance, or a wide portfolio of low risk stocks, guaranteeing them continued exploitation without risking much.

Compare this to a worker, most of whom can’t afford to go without paychecks for a single month. Meaning that the loss of a job is far riskier then the investor’s supposed risk of loosing their investment.

This transaction between an investor and a worker (if you look at it as a transaction) is always biased significantly towards the investor, they will grab proportionally more of the profit and tank less of the loss. So I would say the average worker is both risking a lot more and reaping less of the benefits.
I think I can relate with this. However I won't give my email in any form to a random charity I haven't researched beforehand, so this sentiment would prevail, paper or tablet. What you said doesn't relate to the questionnaire they had to do before being asked the email so I don't really get what that part of the study is about.
Let's not kid ourselves. All of us are mostly concerned about our own kids.

If we were concerned about other kids, we would drop everything right now and spend all of our time finding kidnapped kids instead. There are thousands of missing kids right now.

We would tell senates (or vote) to spend 10B or 50B a year of tax money finding missing kids. We would make it the top priority of the nation. We don't even do that

Musk being concerned about his own kids doesn't seem out of line.

Also, which kids are getting stalked by Musk? Maybe I missed the news
Yeah, agree. Also the EU cracking down on tax tricks like that.
Thanks! That’s quite disappointing :(
Twitter feed the money to their employees. Was a bad deal for shareholders
FWIW, I've wondered whether your use of the past tense meant that he died (maybe it's just me thinking that way), so I've verified that this doesn't appear to be the case, his CV [1] has been updated this year.

People were saying "modern compilers generate better-optimized assembly code than humans" in 2015 too, and well before that. It's not that long ago.

5.4.0 is the version that ships with Debian and Ubuntu, so I guess that's why this particular version was used.
But many many companies don't use a Jan-Dec financial calendar.
What a fatuous argument. Have you considered that they may have used speech to text to dictate there (sic.) response from a mobile device, or that perhaps their (sic.) not a native speaker?

I find that the people who are overly concerned about semantics tend to be the people who have the least to offer in terms of substance. The idea that you can draw a correlation between one's technological aptitude and the inability to distinguish between various possessive adjectives is patently absurd.

Here's a pithy quote I created just for you: "it doesn't matter how many languages you can speak if you have nothing to say."
I am quite confident that Satoshi Nakomoto was an Australian bloke(s) living in Japan when he/they/their wrote the Bitcoin Whitepaper. The code itself does suggest it was one person, but I still think it was a few people with one at the helm.
i mostly agree... i think a lot of people haven't tried the more recent higher-end e-readers... i'd say both the oasis and the kobo forma are getting quite close to strict improvements on the trade paperback... i still love a good, well-worn <400 page mass-market paperback sometimes though, truly the greatest height of the dead-tree format. e-readers haven't seen dramatic technical improvement, but response times have gotten a lot faster, and manufacturers have pretty much all finally figured out physical buttons for page turning is the way to go.

last time i read a trade paper, the weight and lighting issues dominated any of the pleasant tactility of paper.

that said, i do miss the random-access characteristics of physical books: being able to have fingers between multiple pages to skip between sections and the ability to quickly visually binary-search for something. these seem solvable but require some master UI work
Jobs was a showman. And a leader. He was hard on fools at close range, mostly behind closed doors. He had a really high bar of excellence. But punching down at someone in the audience, whether a fan or an employee, that isn't anything he was ever really known for.
I feel exactly the opposite way, but I suppose everyone has a different ear and taste. I think a good 3-4% of what this produces sounds damn amazing and beautiful. I've been vibing to it a lot. Fantastic stuff! There is also the feeling of shock and awe like with ChatGPT where you give it a prompt about a niche thing you think it will definitely not understand and it turns out it understands it shockingly well. As an example I just gave it a prompt "Avril 4th" and the result literally gave me chills.

Is there a minimum quorum a party has to reach before they can enter parliament?

In Germany they need to get at least 5% of the votes. This was introduced because many small parties had made the parliament of the Weimar Republik unstable.
Glowing in the dark is as much a bug as a feature. Lit screens work best in a dark room, where a reading light is more pleasant when you pause reading to do something else.

I spend an inordinate amount of time either turning lights on an off or trying to use the not quite sufficient tablet screen to do stuff.
The bugs I saw were in query compilation and execution. They probably only run a portion of the test pack.
Wow. What a jump. I swear last time I checked, maybe few weeks ago, they were charging flat 1% plus Stripe fee.

Looks like it’s not only Gumroad rising prices.
I checked it out but wasn’t able to figure out if it supported hooks like pre-commit
"Febrile" is basically a UK Politics meme after being used by journos to describe the "atmosphere in Westminster" during each crisis of the week.
University of Wisconsin (the other other UW lol lol) also has steam tunnels. We were advised to not go out not them because Tunnel Bob and other inhabitants may not be welcoming to visitors.
AI will generate even more of such things than is generated currently by talented authors.

Or was it generated by AI?
Modern IDE's are finally approaching a "low friction" workflow with things like LSP and DAP, which are largely independent of the programming language. The intuitive UX of QuickBasic, VB-DOS, the Turbo series etc. however is still very compelling, in a way that has yet to be comprehensively ported to modern systems.
It’s possible that win 8 browsers report their ua as win7.

There is no macOS 11+ either on the list, for the reason I mentioned.
Actual BUSD is issued on Ethereum by Paxos, which is a separate US company that is licensed and regulated by NYDFS. I think it’s unlikely that any of this issuance is fraudulent. Binance then maintains a “pegged BUSD” token on the BNB chain (and other chains.) This is supposed to be backed “1 to 1” by Real-BUSD held in a Binance wallet on chain. They could break this peg at any instant they chose, but it would be visible. I did the math a few days ago over here [1] and it checked out. I’m posting this not to say the situation isn’t risky, just that it seems risky in a highly-transparent way - ie, I can’t see how they would manufacture BUSD without someone noticing. Maybe there’s a loophole I don’t see.

One of the Jobs' virtues was that he didn't sugarcoat his opinions. It was pretty harsh a times, but what should he have said instead?
I don't like the tone of that article, considering there is no reason to suspect that any part of this story resulted from an act of bad faith.
The concentric rings of increasing blurriness remind me of a Fresnel lens. I'm no optician and always found the physics of light rays confusing as heck so the only words I understand from the wikipedia aricle are "A Fresnel lens can be made much thinner than a comparable conventional lens, in some cases taking the form of a flat sheet." Maybe someone else can tell whether that's what's being used here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens
There's a lot we still don't know about the human body. Our current inability to establish cause may be a defect in our knowledge base, not evidence that "there's nothing actually wrong."
> Can we go back to autocorrect and just spell the words out?

Those are two different requests. Autocorrect may be a step up in legibility from word length indicators, but it's a big step down from typos.

I just swiped "accessibility" with a somewhat-below-par amount of care and attention, and the output was "aggressively".
When baby Lispers are born, the first thing they are taught is a dichotomy: the universe is split into conses and atoms. Cons cells are simple and composed of two components, which are called the car and cdr. There are functions to retrieve what's stored in these components, which are called CAR and CDR. Atoms may be as complex as you like. They include objects like numbers, characters, strings, arrays, symbols, etc. NIL is not a cons cell, but a symbol. We can represent lists by chaining cons cells. We may start with an empty list, and by convention this is the symbol NIL. If we also choose to designate NIL as the false value, and everything else as true values, then it is useful to modify CAR and CDR so that they take not only conses, but also the symbol NIL, and return NIL, which is false, and the empty list. We then say that CAR and CDR take a list, i.e. an object of type (or cons null). We do not say that NIL is a cons.

Your [UPDATE] shows that you still don't understand what is meant by "dotted list". I already gave a definition of one, but did not give an example. An example of a dotted list is (a b . c) i.e. the last cons has a cdr that is (i) an atom (otherwise, it wouldn't have been the last cons) and (ii) not NIL (which is the conventional empty list designation).
I seriously doubt Steve Jobs would be.
I loved Books ever since I first got an iPhone. Since the iOS 16 update, I’ve been unsatisfied, the UI isn’t as slick. I just started giving Yomu a try, here goes.
The expelled German Russians had little to do with the invading Nazi Germans.
Sure, I won't argue semantics. I and many others don't want a democracy that relegates us to an anachronistic minority.
After a cloudflare wall I got a login wall.

I was just curious whether it worked. Can you share the success rate or whatever their success metrics were?
I don’t think that’s the ultimate solution here — since journalists often work for multiple outlets —- and it’s highly unlikely every news org would take the route of making a Mastodon server of its own.
Yes. When you "resolve" "conflicts" you can add any changes you like. This means reading it you need to understand ++ -- +- -+ or to compare it to both parents and their parents to see what exactly was added.

For example I recently had to do something with ffmpeg commit 522f87708653af3badcdc33be983bcc6009de49b which basically rewrites the code it is supposed to be merging. Fortunately for that commit it makes most sense to only compare it with its first parent.

Things like that make me strongly prefer rebase.
I listened to the audio of that meeting, at least I think it's the same meeting, and Musk sounded very reasonable and calm. No rage. He explained his reasoning for his decision in a rational manner, answered one or two questions, then disappeared.
Computers don't work like they did 18 years ago.

Today you are rendering to a 4k display (8 million pixels) and every consumer device has a general purpose GPU that is really high performance at specific rendering tasks.

So in many cases, certainly not all, GTK 2 code using Cairo to render will perform worse than GTK 4 using OpenGL even when implementing the same features. Admittedly GTK 4 does use this overhead to do "fancier" things like animations and CSS but these aren't super complex tasks on a GPU.

In my personal experience GTK 4 feels very fast and snappy, clearly more so than GTK 3 was. However I don't use GTK 2 applications to compare.
Also, with a brain implant, it would be possible to rate limit the “happy button” similar to time-locked IV buttons or medicine bottles.
> can't believe people compare Jobs with Musk

Go back to Elon learning, during an interview, the things Buzz Aldrin—a childhood hero of his—said about SpaceX. I believe Musk once had the progenitors of this sense of reflection and maturity. Instead, he’s degraded where Steve Jobs learned.
Isn't that exactly was gp was asking about? Why shape a big project like one huge monolith, if you could also try to disguise the size? Munich Olympic Village is all about appearing human-scale despite its size, Corviale makes its hugeness the core of its identity.
Running with the Hadza – The Race Celebrating a Way of Life
I do! I tend to use it as my default Chromium browser because I find it faster/less annoying than Chrome in some aspects (tho over time that gap has closed) and find the dev tools to be a smidge better. In an ideal world we could all use Safari, but it isn’t reliable on too many websites I have to access for work.
This is not true. Most people I know and I don’t wear masks regularly anymore, except for special cases. And no one has ever guilted me for it.

There are certain places where many people are masked, so I might wear one to be polite.
This seems like it's difficult to pull off in a competitive market though. If you have too hard of a moderating hand, it's going to drive users away.
It's also a word most people learned thanks to the fictional Malcolm Tucker character in The Thick of It (Season 3, episode 6 when he's yelling at Ben Swain)
They’ve been doing this for probably twenty years. It is not new.
Part of the longer term crisis comes from maladaptive coping mechanisms. Time will tell if a “happy button” is adaptive or not. My guess is that those tools which promote use ahead of outcome aren’t really fit for purpose.

That said, I’d gladly stick my head in a microwave if it’s make a bad day more bearable.
Come back in 5 years and let us know if that's still your opinion. Maybe you'll get lucky, but most people aren't.
I still don't get why Python is considered "easy to learn" as a first programming language, even to the point of coding professionally in it. There are many things about Python that are extremely obscure and that a complete novice can only really hope to work around clumsily, not deal with in a principled way. That's frankly a big turnoff even compared to archaic but somewhat simple and understandable systems, including BASIC.
Training One Million Machine Learning Models in Record Time with Ray
I used to consistently journal on Day One. That period of time was arguably the most retrospective and emotionally accepting period of my life… until I stopped. Turns out, I would often return to previous days’ logs to augment, modify, and rephrase what I wrote…

This is a bad habit I noticed in myself. Because hindsight would cause me to rationalize to myself: “I don’t believe that’s how I felt 2 days ago, so let me reword it more positively.”

Coincidentally(?), I saw OP’s post on reddit a while ago, and back then I noticed something interesting about Baseline: its acknowledgement that my mood is a momentary snapshot of how I feel about that day, and how its design philosophy encourages me to be completely honest about my feelings.

Most mood journaling app allows me to go back and edit previous entries. But Baseline does not, and I think this is an underrated feature.
ChatGPT Chrome Extension with awesome UI
I saw it on Product Hunt & I think it is currently the best Extension to Access ChatGPT.
> My understanding (and I would be very happy for any clarifications/corrections!) is that you must use Metal Buffers (MTLBuffer) with the Apple Silicon GPU. If your data isn't already in a Metal Buffer (why would it be?), you have to do a copy into a buffer (but it will be extremely fast).

You have to use Metal Buffers, but you don't have to copy, as long as it is properly page aligned [0]. The YUV data from both camera is for example.

> PS - the very basic ARM Neon stuff that the M1 supports is insanely fast and gets even better when you use multiple threads.

It is, these chips have so much to give!

Edge case?
The difference here is in control. The carpenter has full control on which task they take, whereas the developer hasn’t. A developer is forced to work at a bad product that they know is gonna fail, but the carpenter can refuse to take on a job that they know is gonna cost them more then the customer is willing to pay. For the developer, after their project inevitably fails, it will probably cost them their job, despite the failure not being their fault. Given the option, the developer would have voted against the project, the carpenter can simply refuse it. Upper management usually never takes the responsibility of failure, opting instead to mass layoffs. Shifting the cost of failures onto their exploited workers.

Instead of looking at the house the carpenter builds, look at the carpenter as an enterprise. If the carpenter grows in skill, and is able to take on more complicated jobs, they are able to charge more. The carpenter’s enterprise grows in value, which means more pay for the carpenter them self.

This is not true of the developer. The developer might be able to demand more pay, but they are at the mercy of their upper management to relay that to the owners of the business, who might see more value in exploiting the worker for more profit for them selves. Being able to collectively bargain through a union the developer might approach the freedom of their enterprise as the carpenter, but it is still not nearly the same level as if they had direct control of the business, like the carpenter does.
May also just be autocorrect? Like I have to actively battle my mobile keyboard to type "its" and not have it turn into "it's".
In the case of the above implant, open hardware specifications would have been needed: the stock of replacement hardware (the computing device worn on the body) is limited. The Spectrum article gives an example of a patient that had to work with his doctor and hunt for unused devices to replace a device that was damaged from a drop.
Just tried again, Chrome incognito. Works for me.
Okay, good. Call BS on your own inability to find answers for yourself. Congrats, you have won.

I did not say everyone on the council waiting list was homeless. I have no idea why you think this because it isn't anything that I said.
Indecisive leadership was your reason for leaving? (just clarifying!)
they don't even need to run Mastodon. Smart media orgs will incorporate the AP protocol in their site's content management system.

They can get it if you log into your Android TV!

I believe they also track and log other Wifi networks that you arnt even connected to.

I'm sure they gather all sort of other metrics from any sensors and signals they can access.
Everything is literally editorialized (first by your brain, then by institutions). A charitable interpretation of the parent comment is that it is not editorialized relative to the original source.
I dislike them for dropping them a week after saying that they won't drop websites that are simply detestable.

Personally I don't care, they are free to have whatever policy they want, but doing exactly what they did one week after writing up a blog post and explicitly stating that they most likely won't drop any websites like that anymore was a bit disappointing.
By that logic you might as well say a piece of paper, or this text input box, is Turing complete, since a human can execute a Turing machine on it.
This has generated a rabbit hole of epic proportions. My personal list of “I’ll get around to that someday…” Here I am installing nginx on my server in my basement…brb. I have to go finish that Symfony build of my personal site. I’ll be a minute or two.
