How does someone become a resident if they can’t buy a place to live? This is a chicken and egg problem that is similar to banning foreign purchases entirely.
I found the copy/move situation in Rust to be far less intuitive than in C++. In C++, move semantics are obvious because they rely on std::move and the && operator, whereas in Rust, similar behavior seemed to depend on the object type. Even more confusingly, Rust has its own move operator as well, despite destructive move being the default behavior for assignment.

I found it frustrating enough that I put the language down and just went back to using C++.
Usually it is used for PhD theses too except almost all of those are on ProQuest now these days
Nah, gov’t can also print more cheap money, like they did for the prior decade.
For those who still like to tinker with electronics, here are some places that I still get parts from.

Jameco Electronics
https://www.jameco.com/

The Electronic Goldmine
https://theelectronicgoldmine.com/

All Electronics
https://www.allelectronics.com/

Back in the 60's through the 90's we also had Haltech and Halted Specialties, electronics supplies and surplus in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara, each about a mile from each other.

Many folks confused the names.

As I recall, both of them had resident cats as well.

My High School electronics teacher turned me onto them in 1969.

It appears Haltech is defunct, and not surprising since the owner was OLD when I was shopping/browsing there in the 70's - 80's.

Oh, looks like Halted changed their name to HSC and may still be in business.

Aside from many parts, I also bought my first of several surplus HeNe LASERS there in 1974.

Mexico is a failed state.

"Mexico Prison Break Near US Border Leaves 17 Dead, Gang Leader on Run"
https://news.yahoo.com/mexico-prison-break-near-us-191932044...

This kind of thing doesn't happen in countries with functional governments. I predict that within 20 years the US military will be conducting frequent counterinsurgency operations inside Mexico (complete with drone strikes) in order to prevent a complete collapse.
There's not really that much habitable land in Canada that's not already being used imo.

BC for example is pretty much all mountain and has dammed and flooded many of its habitable river valleys.

In the Prairies the land is already valuably used to export food across the world.

In other parts of Canada it's muskeg and inhospitably cold.

The other thing that everyone always forgets about is that all this "free" land out there is not at all free for the taking: it is under land claims by First Nations. These longstanding unresolved issues will need to be resolved before people can start cutting down forests somewhere and laying out a new main street.

There's plenty of room for more Canadians in the parts of Canada that are already developed, but not a terribly compelling reason for expansion beyond that.

Lady Bracknell: I've always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything, or nothing. Which do you know?

Earnest: I know nothing, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell: I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate, exotic fruit. Touch it, and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever.

> why SOAP is bad but JSON RPC is good

probably tooling, I haven't looked into it but whatever tooling available back in those SOAP days probably had poor UX. These days if there is a will to make either SOAP or JSON-RPC the way, the community could probably make better and more tools.

Having said they both look shit to me :)). I guess if we go with the assumption that there will be tools to help with debug etc then the whole appeal of text based protocols disappears and you wonder why use such inefficient transports.
At this point, AirBnB is too much of a trouble for a weary traveler. No worries of following arcane house rules, doing the dishes and praying to a non existent customer support. Better to stay in a hotel and call it a day.
Does it work well for question answering from books ?
The first two lines are statements of fact. The third line:

> Alrighty then.

is a blatant dog whistle.

Even without the last line, it's not enough to simply say "just providing context!" It's a bit like jumping into a conversation about the affordable care act by saying "President Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein. He was mentored by Bill Ayers, a man the FBI described as the leader of a terrorist group."

It is all factual context, utterly irrelevant to the merits of the ACA and adds nothing to the conversation other than the prejudicial implication.
They have other revenue streams. Sponsorships, YouTube Premium, Floatplane, their online store, affiliate links on YouTube and their forums to name some.

Carson and the other smaller passes close in the winter and open sometime in spring. This happens all the time.

I suspect 80 will be closed maybe overnight because way too many people think driving in snow is just like a dry road - spin outs and crashes (even semis). In general CalTrans does a good job keeping it mostly open.

For context - I live north of Truckee and deal with 80 regularly.
Author of Mastinator here which was linked in the article. Also its back online, so if you want to start testing your implementation it should work for you. I will be adding more functionality as I go.

While search is a problem, I think the bigger problem with the fediverse is expectations. People expect that their "follower" only posts are only shown to their followers. However you can get them anyway through so many other ways, its literally ludicrous that people expect anything they post to only be delivered to their followers. Boosting posts within Mastodon transmits them to federated servers, and this is by design.

My point has always been that if you play in a federated system, where you literally distribute your posts to anyone who requests them, you have to accept once it leaves your server you have lost all control. To then complain someone is getting that post is naive. That's the federated system working as intended.

If you don't want it public, don't distributed it via a public system.

I don't know if people were told otherwise, but they seem to be under the impression their content is fully under their control in the fediverse, when it is far from the case. Deletes/Edits of content are "should" in the spec, meaning yes people should do it, they are under no obligation to do so.

The only reaction the fediverse has to anyone they dislike is to block, and in some cases harass people till they leave. That wont work long term, and it isn't working now. Despite being blocked by hundreds of instances Mastinator is still getting thousands of posts an hour delivered to it, including posts from instances that blocked it because someone who is federated with those instances has not blocked mastinator and someone boosted it.

The current "elders" of the fediverse want to keep their behaviors and cultures. Which is fine. They should do so by having their own allow-listed federation, not accepting any follow request, or totally de-federating. They should not be bullying others into accepting their behavior. Not only does it not work now, its really not going to work once Tumblr, Flickr and others start integrating, as they will have enough people on that they will be the majority and they will make the rules.
If you enable follow requests, and trust the admins of your followers, does that work as a privacy feature? From what I know, such posts do not get federated to unrelated servers, right?
The taxes in BC certainly caused prices to stall out but then there was a once a century pandemic, the Bank of Canada dropped interest rates to about zero, and real estate once again took off like a rocket.

Who knows how the market would have gone had that not happened.

Maybe... though whenever I look closely it turns out that cities are suffering from structurally broken property markets, and short-term rentals are a convenient, highly visible scapegoat that puts the blame on something involving foreigners.
The Little _________ books themselves are strange, you will either get them or you won't. So it is already a binary classification. The books don't follow a normal book like flow and its basically a giant teacher-student like 1 - 1 mentoring-- building the lesson up from basic axioms, revealing the rules of play slowly, and helping you discover the concepts yourself along the way.

> our wireless telecoms have convinced the government

What's the government got to do with mobile data prices?
I think you are more right than you realize. The US Federal government still to this day subsidizes and promotes home ownership. The mortgage tax deduction, the Home Sales Tax exclusion, and even the fixed rate 30 year mortgage itself - without which most of us could never buy a home in the first place - subsidizes home ownership.

But the actual building of homes is left to the private sector, which is frequently banned from building new homes by local governments.

It’s a strange situation: the Feds promote home ownership, while local governments make home ownership difficult by limiting the number of homes that can be built. It’s little wonder the housing market is so dysfunctional.

I once heard that precipitation forecasts represented the amount of land in the area that would see rain, not the probability of rain for the total area. I.e. 50% meant half of the area would get rained on, translating to a 50/50 "chance" for you.

Then someone else told me that was bogus, and I suspected as much.

It may depend on the source of the forecast
Very good points. Thanks for your thoughts.
They have around 100 employees and rent, I think, (at least) two warehouse spaces. They also seem to do work-for-hire production work, merch, and Floatplane on top of their YouTube content. I'm sure there are other revenue streams that aren't obvious besides those listed in addition to their YouTube AdSense only being a slice of their advertising revenue since they do in-video sponsored spots.

Ask HN: Holiday, English or English?
Should holiday be used in the American English sense or the British English sense?

As a US English speaker, it annoys me when people who sound like me say 'on holiday' (as in "I'm going on holiday"). I think it's a British English pretention and is therefore pretentious.

I don't care if a UK English or Australian/New Zealand English sounding person says it.

Am I the only one who dislikes this?
Somewhere along them are two other types of people:

those who mess with the layout for no apparent reason

those who wants to take a long, long talk with the first group. Especially after losing the content of the clipboard for Nth time, because someone had a bright idea of placing PrtScr in the place of ContextMenu key
> Does anyone actually enjoy living in a tiny apartment, as opposed to being able to afford a house with a yard?

In order to answer this question for yourself you need to first accept an iron law of economics: because decisions are not made in a vacuum, there is no such thing as an abstract preference, only constraints and tradeoffs.

My preference is that I have a 10,000 square foot single-family home located on an otherwise empty block of land just south of Central Park. That way I get everything great about single-family living and access to the economic and cultural superpower that is Manhattan.

But, and I mean this technically and in the kindest way possible: literally who gives a shit?

Everything in life is tradeoffs. The NIMBY position is that tradeoffs can be wished away by legislation. But they cannot. It only deranges the situation.
A fairly interesting paper is "Transparency is Surveillance" which argues that transparency is not inherently good and that for expertise to flourish, it needs some level of privacy.

The author presented the same findings as a talk which you can watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcEJY61FKIc

It's a bit abstract in some places but hopefully it'll give you some stuff to think about
> Having a copy of code that is reviewable and then searching for a malicious collision is a preimage attack;

No, it's not. You can sneak extra entropy into minor formatting choices or variable names etc, or exactly what you write in your commit messages. Or probably even ordering of files in your directories. (I don't think the git protocol enforces that files have to be in eg alphabetical order.)

> Ignoring all of that, anybody grabbing code from an untrusted source is already vulnerable to whatever attacks that untrusted source wants to employ, with "exploiting hash collision" being one of the higher-effort attacks that could be mounted.

I'm not sure. If your hash works fine, as long as someone trusted gives you the commit hash, anyone untrusted can give you the actual source.

And if you mean accepting PRs: accepting PRs from the untrusted internet basically how open source works..
I'll be working on refining my pitch about how bad everything is and why the system needs to change... And posting that into the void where nobody will ever read it due to big tech algorithm censorship... While working a day job which allows me to profit from the root of all system flaws which I keep complaining about because it's the only one I could find which pays the bills... A kind of forced hypocrisy.

Happy new year.

I'm sorry that you found the one source I posted was a content farm, because I found numerous others saying the same thing.

The link you posted is an absolute joke that you're cherry picking, because the only reason to put "Bicycling, Stationary: vigorous" above "normal sustained speeds" is because you made the utterly inaccurate editorial decision to do so. You're flat out wrong if you believe a 12 minute mile (which is barely walking speed) is equivalent to "vigorous stationary cycling".

If you consulted your own chart you'd see it lists, under "training and sports activities", "Bicycling >20mph" as 693cal for a 185lb person and "Running: 10mph (6min/mile)" as 671cal which at least is close to accurate.

Unfortunately, you don't seem to be remotely familiar with the physiological demands here, so I don't know what to say. Your argument was that running couldn't possibly burn more calories because it only involved the lower body.
>Offshore control of property can easily be weaponised, where it's not about investment but instead about legal denial of property to the locals.

>NZ suffers from some of this.

Given all of the geopolitical problems China's creating now that was absolutely the right call. Of course the country's still massively exposed with more than 30% of the economy built on trade with China. We've effectively handed an authoritarian regime a button which when pushed will trigger the outright destruction of our economy, and there aren't any politicians in parliament with the intelligence or foresight to see why that's a problem.

Another thing -- noindex is not federated. I used to enable noindex, and still found my content on Google (mirrored on other instances that I was federated with). I just allowed indexing.
> This is a general problem with binary files: they're hard to properly review. Having unreviewable files in a repository (binaries, machine-generated configs, etc.) is already a security problem; hash collisions would just be one (very difficult) way of exploiting that problem.

That's not a problem in general. Eg having a binary bmp in your repository is fine as far as reviews go.
They can. Someone could get your post, then boost it, which distributes it to whoever follows them and so on.

Anyone thinking their post is only seen by their followers when they have federation turned on is grossly misinformed.
He claims $90 an hour which sounds good but that ends up being the gross income. His net is 22.5% (150/664), and the hours he's quoting for working on a video are either wrong or insane, because he's claiming to be working for 17.8 hours a day which either means pernicious sleep deprivation or sitting at the computer every waking moment except to pee and eat food that takes no time to prepare. If it's really 100 hours per video 65 videos a year he's making just over $20 an hour which is is just madness.
I can’t speak for other places, but the last time governments in the US tried building a bunch of housing it turned out very poorly. They went all in on Le Corbusier’s “Towers in the Park” nonsense and they ended up as run down ghettoes set far back from the streets by a bunch of dead or overgrown brush. Chicago in particular designed theirs without children or young people in mind and ended up creating incubators for street crime.

I know some places in Northern Europe have managed to build nice and mixed income public housing, but the US failed miserably.
This sort of loophole is closed in BC where they've created a beneficial owner registry. They will still know who owns the numbered company and their nationality.

I believe other provinces are looking into similar things.
As long as nobody says holibobs I’m okay with anything else.

Perhaps the $20,000 he spent on film equipment helped propel him to 2.9 million subscribers, 705 million video views, and $664,000 total earnings by allowing him to produce a grade of video that is better than other lego videos on YouTube.
The answer is capitalism, plus a bunch of terrible incentives that come from capitalism as a philosophy. We could also solve homelessness and have known we could for less money than we spend avoiding the solution, but government spending money for actual people and their wellbeing isn’t consistent with bootstraps and whatnot. Everyone has to suffer for some homage to personal responsibility that has never existed.
> Sousa was right.

He was partially right, which means he was partially wrong too.
Yeah, a lot of isolated music listening (I'm not going with consumption, sorry) did happen. I can definitely attest to that as someone from the "Walkman generation".

But all the kids forming "bands" all over the world show that the active social interaction of music didn't go away. Or maybe I'm just lucky, as on a weekly basis I stumble upon the sound of people jamming while taking random walks in my city.

I read "they would be alone in their own rooms passively listening" and think of Björk's song headphones ("my headphones, they saved my life") and just awe at the seemingly infinite range of human thought and emotion ...
