Outside of the City of Vancouver, yes. Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Surrey City Center -- but Vancouver itself has been very resistant to development outside of the core.

The story of Metro Vancouver development can be summarized as "a city which wants to be a suburb surrounded by suburbs which want to be cities".
Do they still refuse to update their compiler to support any version of C beyond C89?

Unless they have changed course, it seems more likely that Microsoft will drop NT for a UNIX kernel than Microsoft would put this into their compiler. I assume that this is by Microsoft Research and work by Microsoft Research is almost never used by Microsoft. The only exception I know is Drawbridge, which they reportedly used in Azure.
The first step for any NTSC decoder is to go to YIQ. From there, you go to any other color space of your choice.

This is mainly for decoding the composite video signal generated by a computer or console. For example, the NES generates a 12-step square wave for its video output, and you'd decode that to YIQ then convert that to RGB.
> honestly its pretty offensive

As a counterpoint, it's offensive to treat living with family as an act of desperation. In fact, living with family is extremely common around the world, and moving out at 18 seems to be something of an anomaly mainly common to the U.S. and Northern Europe.

While economic factors and housing costs likely play a major role, it's also important to note that U.S. demographics have shifted in the last several decause, and people with Northern European ancestry make up a significantly smaller share of the U.S. population. It's hard to imagine this isn't also a factor.
On mobile there is no visible difference in the interactive example on the web. Before/After looks exactly the same (iPhone 13).

Fair enough. Different people have different tolerances, preferences and let's face it: financial options.

What exactly is "parkland"? I know some examples that I wouldn't mind being across from or backing onto with enough thick brush/tree border and others I would definitely avoid at much cost. When you say premium, is all of it premium? Asking because of course even in a premium only development someone will live next to public places. I definitely know how I would choose which place to buy if I could have any of them.

I only have anecdata but I've lived in a few places in my life so far and I can tell you that one place for example we specifically didn't buy because it was right across from an open field park with playground, baseball field and a skate park even though it was otherwise very nice. We are still close to it but we don't hear or see it except when there's a festival and live music and such. Of course someone does live there even today and there's other much larger and more luxurious houses than I could afford right next to another playground close to me. But who knows, if I hadn't found that other place I may have opted to live with the park because it was still better than what I was trying to get away from.

The peculiar rules aren't written down. Admins will ban you for whatever reason they want.[1] This can include DMs that both parties are fine with (but not the server admin, who can read them), or behavior off of the site.[2][3]

The problem isn't solved if you go through the trouble of setting up your own server. De-federation is common[4] (often for absurd reasons[5]), and blacklists are shared across many instances.[6]

> The thinking is if they can get a critical mass of folks onto the option that is non-free, they will extinguish the free option by no longer supporting it.

I assume you mean "non-free" as in speech, not beer, since VSCode is free. Hasn't that "critical mass" been the case since day one? I can't imagine that VSCodium built binaries have ever had more than a tiny fraction of the user-base of VSCode? Thus I don't see how "Extinquish" plays a role here.

I still think it makes more sense to think of the strategy as more akin to the FOSS-washing / freemium models used by many companies.
Teens do not listen to or watch msm in the first place.

It surprises me that this would be effective, since setting up an email host that's just capable of receiving emails should be trivial.

Then again, maybe I am overestimating fraudsters, and by blocking email hosts that make it too easy to sign up you can get rid of a significant chunk of them...
All of these crypto functions have many implementations in every popular programming language that return the exact same bits no matter which implementation you use. As long as you have the keys (which is a serious issue) and someone remembers which function was used with which parameters the risk of "will be left with a bunch of HTML files with data that the browsers cannot decrypt anymore." is not even on the same scale as getting hit by lightning but rather on the same scale as getting hit by lightning during clear weather in a deep basement.
Ask HN: Transitioning out of Web App CRUD, into other CS fields?
Summary: I am completely burnt out on building endless CRUD apps. I am wondering if anyone here has successfully transitioned out of that and into something more interesting, but still technical. Can be computer science related or entirely different. How did it go? How far along in your career were you? Did you go back to school? Just apply for different jobs? Etc.

More about me: I am 28 years old with 6 years of industry experience and a computer science degree. I’ve been building web CRUD apps the whole time, even back in college. I consider myself a good developer and I’ve received lots of positive feedback from colleagues over my career, but I have lost all interest in commercial web development.

I know no job is perfect and burnout is its own thing I have to deal with, but having something new to learn about and focus on would help me, I think.

So, anyone have success stories of transitioning away from web dev into other technical fields? I would love to hear about it. Cheers!

(Edited to remove my rant about why I don’t like web dev anymore so we can just focus on the career switch question).

Just today I used ChatGPT to help me speed up writing somewhat trivial C Code for a project in an embedded systems class.

Prompt: "Generate a tiny PID controller with only a Proportional factor written in C. That takes a rotational input from -360 to 360 degrees. The setpoint in degrees. And returns a motor speed in the range of -255 to 255."

=> Produced a compiling correct result.

Later I wanted to know how to communicate between my kernel module and user space program:
Prompt: "How do I get a value via character device from my kernel module into my user space c programm?" gave a bunch of answers and digging deeper with Prompt: "Could you provide me with an example of the user space program" gave a compiling and correct answer again.

I could have written all of that myself while spending a good amount researching on google. But this way I felt less frustrated and was definitively a lot quicker.

Not the solution for everything but maybe for a C beginner where research can take a long time and often leads to more confusion than anything else. Now the question is if that confusion is critical in the learning process. And if so how critical and at what stages of the experience spectrum the most?
But if a politician gets elected with such a policy being a key election promise - i.e. indicating a majority of residents do agree there should be such a policy - is it still 'far beyond any reasonable line'?

Rust is absolutely a "drop-in" replacement to C in most cases even for existing projects, it was absolutely built with that goal in mind. You can go as fine-grained as replacing a single function with a Rust-coded version (even using bindgen to ingest existing C headers) - though that generally involves unsafety because you're dealing with general pointers, extern calls and such. Even Checked C cannot prove these things 100% safe, it just catches common misuse.

(Of course some C projects could abuse the preprocessor in ways that make it infeasible to even replace a C function with a Rust equivalent, but that's incredibly rare. And Rust has macro facilities of its own.)
You definitely can manually set the lock at least on most ovens I’ve seen in the UK and Europe, it’s sometimes not obvious but they do have a “child lock” just like most electric cooking hobs.
Writing state-of-the art runtimes is probably one of the hardest CS fields. They are way above this “your language sucks” category.

It happened to me once, it generates a plausible answer when it doesn't know (tried to generate a Nix script with Erlang). But I have used it to generate examples code in Haskell, and it was quite good, probably because Haskell libraries have excellent online documentation. It's much faster than reading the doc of the library.
I wonder if it will ever get to the point where we specifically as a lossy compression algorithm generate images that can be enhanced into what we want. “What is the smallest image that <popular AI of the day> will blow up into the image I want” might be an interesting question.

Yes it depends on your philosophy. Lego vs. bespoke art would be my analogy. No right answer, it depends on what you want to build. I think a lot of what I might call uncharitably “webshit” which is the run of the mill stuff that is still very valuable for solving problems can run on turnkey containers.

What makes all of this worse is that I didn't respond because I thought the other poster was claiming that people who can't afford rent won't get rented to, of course that's true.

I responded because there are people who CAN rent who will not be rented to (or will find it very difficult to) because they have little to no credit history, or have a bad credit history.

There are other issues I didn't mention, such as taking a landlord or property manager to court. That can absolutely get you black balled both locally and somewhat nationally and not because someone is maintaining a secret list that everyone is watching, but because a large number of landlords and property manages are farming out SaaS services for background checking to these services and a large part of that is checking public court records. In light of that environment, taking your landlord to court is going to have a major effect on your ability to rent in the future.

Basically, the other poster was just not right and whinging about HN guidelines doesn't change that.
Slightly OT, but the one thing I hate about watching films on streaming services is the banding on the images. Any relatively dark scene with gradations of lighting in the background is a mess of shifting lines. I'd love to see something like this built in to a native Netflix client... although I realise hell will freeze over before that's a reality.
Yeah it's pretty great, but still hamstrung by the inherent limitations of the language itself. Would love to see a new language on top of Python that treats types as first-class constructs.

You're not completely wrong in that it's still possible to f up, even when using misuse resistant primitives.

The difference is, you're sort-of allowed to f up if it's an intelligent mistake that teaches the creators of misuse resistant libraries a thing or two about where they went wrong. If OTOH you're clearly just yoloing it, introducing your pseudo-math BS into the mix, or intentionally deviating from best practices or breaking it, then it's on you.

There are several android distros that provide support for a de-googled installation. Calling it "impossible" seems like a bit of a stretch, though there are definitely limitations, even with microg installed.

Not that we're debating, but your reply seems a little gish-gallopy. What type of information are you seeking by asking "A composite how exactly"?

Are you asking how what I described is a composite? How I'd create a composite? If I were trying to define sex, I'd try to find the most relevant attributes to human sexual dimorphism, and if and when I encountered exceptions, to me that would imply a spectrum exists and sex is non-binary.

What am I measuring? I'd be trying to find the biological measures relating to sexual dimorphism, and how they consistently they correlated to the other biological measures I listed. I'd also be looking for exceptions, which do certainly exist.

How are you translating it into a continuous variable? I wouldn't be, I imagine that upon seeing that there are exceptions to the attributes I included in my composite, where people in one or more ways fall outside of the two typical morphological/gamete/chromosomal norms, that would be what implies a continuum/spectrum. I'm not translating it, I'd just be seeing nonbinary data, I didn't translate the data to fall outside of a binary pattern or force it into a continuum, it just exists that way. Correct me if you think I'm wrong.

Why are you calling this variable sex? As I said, in my best attempt to create a composite of all traits that could be contained within a definition of sex, that's what it'd be.

It is better to say that you should not go inside of an old television unless you know what you are doing, and don't assume that you know what you are doing unless you have guidance from someone who is experienced. Reading about or watching someone work inside of high voltage devices should not be considered sufficient since it is easy for either the author or reader to miss important details.

It is also worth noting that electrical safety depends upon far more than voltage. We think of 3.7 V battery operated devices as safe because our bodies are not very good conductors (when dry) and some types of batteries have an internal resistance that will limit the current draw. If I recall correctly, the internal resistance of LiIon batteries is sufficiently low that they are dangerous if not handled correctly (e.g. if you short them).

Have you tried splitting the area covered by each shape into several 8x8 pixel rectangles, then running a compute shader over each one that executes the exact same rasterisation algorithm as Flash did? That's more or less how triangles are rasterised on the GPU anyway.

It's definitely not a simple solution, but might enable you to do runtime rasterisation with a good framerate on the GPU rather than pre-rasterising all the vector art.
TL;DR (meta phrased)

Microsoft is forking VSCode open source community by split licensing for source code and and official build of VSCode. If you build by yourself you can’t connect to VSCode is marketplace.

This allows them to fully control VSCode telemetry and reporting along with use on platforms such as Gitpod. It’s similar to how Apple controls apps on iPhone and in turn control how much you need to pay them if you earn money on it.

In long run everything going on cloud and SaaS/ PaaS platform holding the keys to developer tooling gate such as VSCode, Microsoft has unfair advantage over other competitors and still keep benefits of OSS
