But I've never heard a C++ programmer deny that it's a large and difficult language.

I personally never really had a problem with ownership model - probably because what I was doing fell into the simple buckets. Rust's difficulty goes well beyond ownership. I just thought the Rust user forum thread I quoted was a gently funny example of the Rust community's denial: "Rust's not hard, but to get a decent mental model of the borrow checker you need to read the standard library, or if not here's 10000 words on how I think of it". I'm not presenting it as "proof" that Rust is hard - the fact that I couldn't do anything practical with it after more troublesome attempts than with any other language is plenty enough for me to know that. Neither do I think difficulty is 'bad'. Denying it can be though.
I've had missing bags delivered at least two or three times, and it's always just some dude in an unmarked car ala an Uber or Lyft. These couriers are just usually gig workers from what I can tell, and like peer comments say, this is probably just some rando ending up with some luggage that they are unsure of what to do with.

I'm not saying it is good, but it likely explains it.
I don't know details about Germany, but you can't just look at national population trends. In the US for example, the problem is made worse by a trend of people moving from rural areas into cities.

And re the "huge margins" the relationship between supply and demand isn't linear. If you have 10% more households than homes, bidding wars will drive prices up way more than 10%.

Because values have to climb in order to keep the real estate shell game going. Buildings depreciate, so increasing demand is the way to make magical money. The old technique, redlining, is illegal.

Commercial real estate is architected around tax avoidance strategies. 1031 exchanges, depreciation rules, etc. In many cases, it’s literally possible to build a commercial development with zero out of pocket. Residential is all about building asset value through mortgages.

Key markets like California are distorted to be even worse because the property tax laws encourage holding and not improving property. Unless there’s a constitutional convention or ballot, you’ll have homes worth $100M in 2080 paying property taxes based on a $100k valuation in 1980.
I make my own, based on a WHO recipe for rehydration therapy.

The WHO intends it for use for people suffering dysentery, but dehydration is dehydration.

Sorry, I'm not sure if that came off as an insult("the kid won't use that computer"), but just that the kid will probably use the computer to the extent that it is useful or interesting to her, and have an easier time putting it aside, which is different from traditional computing these days where everything is designed to suck you in regardless of what your interests are.
Unless I’m missing something, Etherpad is just for text editing. Not arbitrary application data like we’re working on. And each etherpad document lives on a centralised server. At least, that was true when I worked with the original etherpad devs in 2011. I can’t find a roadmap for 2023.

Replica will work with native apps first. Data will be local to your devices. Servers are necessary for peer discovery, sync and delivery. But you can still make changes offline and sync later. Or ideally, sync directly between your devices over a local network.

Think about it like GitHub. You can use their website, but the data itself (in git) is cloned onto your local computer - and you can replicate it to other devices however you like. The model for replica will be similar: We’ll run an official website to use for replication, backup and discovery. But your data is, and always will be your own.
Well, neither Texas nor Florida suffer from "atmospheric rivers".

It's no fun to drive in the rain, so either pick a nice place to stay for Wed/Thu during the storm, or postpone the trip. If you need to get south, just drive the 5, it shouldn't enough rain to flood it. The central valley flood alerts you are seeing are for rivers and small roads with stream crossings. Forecast there is only 1.5".
I'm a developer for the OSS Serratus project, https://www.serrartus.io where we have a web-portal used to explore where RNA viruses show up in public sequencing datasets (we've analyzed ~21 petabytes of sequencing data to make this dataset).
There's lots of rich meta-data associated with these RNA sequencing datasets, so what I'm trying to do is create meaningful meta-data aggregation and associate them with different types of viruses to make a sort of procedural generated encyclopedia of RNA viruses. Be less biased by what scientists expect to see, and focus more on what is actually observed for virus biology and epidemiology. I've built a little proof of concept called `palmID` (www.serratus.io/palmid) but I think there's lots more to be done to make this really shine.
You were just confronted with evidence, and invented an AI ethnic voice masker on the spot to dismiss it. Your evidence, meanwhile, is an NYT op-ed about police abolition. I don't necessarily endorse anything this person wrote (I didn't read it that carefully), but in this thread you've been deploying a number of really weak arguments.
The reason that the government started moving on foreign investment in BC initially back with the taxes in 2015 was that it was so dominant that it was changing the types of housing that was being built.

Companies such as Westbank were making projects like Oakridge, Alberni, Butterfly, Canada House with condo units specifically designed as pied-a-terres, marketed with storefront showrooms in major cities across Asia.

Even setting aside the whole issue of prices, when the actual product being made, the thing that is drawing huge amounts of local labour for years, is not designed with the needs of locals in mind (ie. tiny hotel-like pied-a-terre) that is a huge long term problem.

As soon as the tax was brought in pretty much overnight Westbank dumped this business model and started building purpose built rental for a local renter market. As things should be.
Yeah I am not buying the source for this prediction. If this was something from the USGS, then maybe.

But it can never hurt to be prepared. Maybe just to look over your checklists etc.
These reports very often have glib personal touches. There are websites with collections of funny forecast discussions over the years.

Same as last year: http://golfcourse.wiki

Launched last year to a really supportive subreddit. Currently working on a very light weight way to use the existing data in the wiki to operate tournaments for clubs on the very cheap (the entire point of the site is to support blue-collar/municipal clubs), which should incentivize adoption with the exact audience I'm targeting.

Have recently created some instructional videos for golfers unfamiliar with .svg graphics, to be able to map their own course in an editable way, with an extremely light weight filetype: https://www.youtube.com/@golfcoursewiki2140

Do need to work on differentiating image blobs vs svg and improve blob storage, but I'm quite happy with where I'm at.
> Ada Ehmke went on to argue that open source developers cannot ignore their social responsibilities. "I believe that as technologists we have a moral imperative to prevent our work from being used to harm others," she said.

A tired trick - if you don't share the view someone is pushing, you're "ignoring responsibility". But FOSS isn't ignoring anything - it merely prioritizes different values, and does not wish to imperil them to serve values Ada Ehmke prefers.

Because adding those proposed conditions, even before they're inflated to included everyone's pet cause of the day, creates legal peril for end users, especially if they don't have a team of lawyers on retainer. It doesn't matter if you're technically allowed to use some code, if proving it would bankrupt you.

That's ignoring the fact that it would be challenging to even come up with a set of uses that everyone agrees are prohibited. E.g. for the example given at the end of the article, Chinese coders would probably see it as assuring they don't get attacked by virtue of MAD. Pretty soon, software would balkanize according to geopolitics, instead of uplifting everyone. It's worth pointing out this would harm smaller countries more, due to economies of scale. It's surprising a champion of the oppressed such as Ehmke does not realize this.

There’s three schools of thoughts about computer keyboards.

1). People who don’t care about keyboards and just use whatever is in front of them.

2). People who love mechanical keyboards with big clicky keys and a medium-high amount of travel.

3). People who love scissor switch laptop style keyboards with flat, clicky and responsive keys with low travel.
Was salary reduction a “constructive termination” or did employee resign? (2013)
Only makes sense if the host is actually paying professional cleaning service, or doing it themselves at the level provided at those services, after each stay.

And I am very sure that's not the case 99% of the time based on my own experience. I'd be thankful if the kitchen counter is clean and there is no trash. That's actually not a low bar.
Probably the timeframe. If you get 3 inches of rain in 12 hours, that's 6in/day. If that's all the rain you got in 3 days, you got 1in/day.
Isn't that already a humanitarian crisis?
There's also the method of using slang/phrasing that's obvious to your own side but the captors might be oblivious to, as in the North Korean captive example:

"Bucher was psychologically tortured such as being put through a mock firing squad in an effort to make him confess. Eventually, the Koreans threatened to execute his men in front of him, and Bucher relented and agreed to 'confess to his and the crew's transgression.' Bucher wrote the confession since a 'confession' by definition needed to be written by the confessor himself. They verified the meaning of what he wrote, but failed to catch the pun when he said "We paean the North Korean state. We paean their great leader Kim Il Sung" ("We paean" sounds almost identical to "we pee on").[4]"

I only meant to make the first claim, FWIW.

The idea was suggested in response to someone who implied I favored "deliberately avoiding intervention". I mentioned the idea to clarify my position, and give an example of the sort of intervention I'd be in favor of.

So, I prevented someone from owning a home that could only barely afford $80-$135/week with all utilities included?

Isn’t that the ultimate “let them eat cake”?

The alternative would be for the eight people to be homeless?

Are all of the people buying property and focusing on student housing also keeping people from buying houses? Were the college students with no income who were only going to be in town for four years and living off of student loans also going to buy houses? Should they have also been forced to buy homes or be homeless?

> So thank you for contributing to the housing issue that causes young people to not be able to afford a home

I assure you those eight people (two houses) were happy to be able to afford to have a roof over their head.

Do you suggest no one be allowed to be renters and everyone buy a home?

512(f) is difficult to prove. It's not just "they got it wrong", it's "they got it wrong and they knew they were wrong". Copyright owners are not liable for actual mistakes.

This actually can be flipped on YouTubers' heads, too. If you counter-notify something that you know is infringing, you can be sued for 512(f) misrepresentation. So, say if you use a song in your video you don't own, you get DMCA'd, and you counternotify to get your video back up; you can now be countersued.

But even if you do have a genuine 512(f) case, you have another problem: it is not worth your while in order to sue. For regular copyright cases, you have a thing called statutory damages, which can go up to $150,000 per infringement if the infringer was "willful" (i.e. they basically said 'fuck you'). This is in contrast to "actual damages", which is where you prove to a judge that you lost $X or that the infringer gained $Y. It's extremely difficult to prove[0] actual damages, which is why we have statutory damages. Because without the guarantee of a large damage award, even an open-and-shut case against a wealthy target becomes uneconomic to prosecute.

In 512(f) claims, you only get actual damages plus fee shifting[1]. At least you can hope to recoup costs... except that that's not how fee shifting works. You don't just send the defendant your attorney's bill. The judge goes through that bill, picks out the "lodestar amount" to shift to the defendant, and you pay the rest.

Oh, and all of that is assuming that both you and your defendant are financially solvent, properly capitalized entities that can pay things. You can't sue a homeless man[2].

[0] You know the whole "lost sale argument", and how we love to poke holes in it? Yeah...

[1] Which, BTW, is also so un-American a concept that lawyers literally call it the French Rule. Or the British Rule. Either way, in most other countries the loser pays the winner's attorney's fees. In the US you only get fee shifting in copyright cases.

[2] Which, if you believe James Gosling, is the reason why he didn't completely kill GNU Emacs.

Also, you totally can sue a homeless man. It's just that you can't afford to.
Watching Seattle people who own "4WD" cars/small SUVs without winter tires slide down hills is a good reminder that 4WD does not mean four wheel stop.
If you keep predicting quakes, one day you will be right :)

I've lived in the Bay Area since 1995, and always wondered what would happen if a substantial earthquake struck while the hills are already half mud from sustained winter storms.

I doubt it happens a lot but there was an unoccupied house in my city that was burned down by an escaping suspect. Turns out it was owned by a lady living in China who invested for a future residence. Given that the Chinese real estate market is overheated it makes sense to diversify.

That's about what the South Bay saw on the NYE storm. Peninsula & SF got about 5", mountains up to 12". Seems to be roughly comparable in raw precipitation.

The concern over this next storm is that the ground is already saturated and the creeks are already overflowing. In a normal rainstorm like the one we just had, the first inch or so is absorbed into the ground, then the rivers start rising and mudslides start happening. This time, we're going to start seeing those effects from the very start of the rain (which is already happening - it's raining now).

Yeah, but I don't think Airbnb has sophisticated enough infrastructure to figure out if every person leaving a review has an online presence before deleting their review.

It's possible there's something more mundane, like not having a browser cookie when the review was left or something like that.
Lets not forget that you changed the framing on this discussion, from (paraphrased) "there is evidence that race-based preferences are widespread in hiring, suggesting that we should take seriously the idea of race-specific privileges and disadvantages among candidates", to your preferred discussion of "is it possible to engineer a system that would prevent hiring managers from knowing the race of applicants".

“People unironically expressing their anger that other people don’t write like robotic zen monks” is one of my favorite genres of posts.
I'm hoping someone with better mechanics knowledge than I can help me understand something that's been bothering me about this: if you have a simple circuit of the "spin battery" driving a "spin resistor", at equilibrium (when the chain is moving with constant speed) isn't the torque applied by the battery necessarily the same as the frictional torque in the resistor? Otherwise you'd still have some kind of acceleration.

For a twice larger "spin resistor", then, the equilibrium torque would be twice as large, and intuitively, the chain speed would be half as fast. So the same amount of work is being done by the "spin battery".

Doesn't this mean, then, that the "spin battery" is constant power, rather than constant voltage? Their FAQ says the unit of "spin voltage" is Newtons, and that the battery is 3 spin volts, but this doesn't agree with my understanding of the mechanics.
No it is not. Functional programming (at least before the term got watered down) is all about referential transparency, which has some major implications of how you read and write code, e.g. allowing to apply equational reasoning and making effects explicit. Because it requires some more abstract concepts to be practically useful, you will also see the same people tending more in the direction of declarative programming - but strictly speaking the two things are independent of each other.

> The thing that confuses me is that under the hood isn't the computer doing those loops? It's just hidden from you?

No. Under the hood the computer is doing conditional jumps. And yeah, those are hidden from you. :)

I'm not talking about individuals, I'm talking about masses of people. Of course blue state people hated Bush, and Trump, and Reagan… I'm talking about this weird notion that I hear from southerners that people in the city "look down on them." They don't. They don't think about them at all. I'm not sure which is worse.
Houses are only good investments if you can rent them for a price that will yield an attractive return.

People will only rent a house for a price that they're willing to pay therefore this isn't a bubble as you imply (people are only buying because prices go up), so presumably it's a supply / demand issue.

It's extremely easy to say "reee, why don't the government build more homes!!", but where exactly do you build more homes in central London?

Oh no, sorry, you meant build more homes where there's free land? Sure, but people don't want to live there.

The issue is actually far more to do with urbanisation than anything. For example here in the UK there are plenty of places that are extremely affordable to live, the issue is that they're in rural and generally undesirable areas so no one wants to live there. When people say house prices are too high, what they actually mean is that they can't afford a house in London or some other attractive city they want to live. It's not that an average wage wouldn't get you a decent house in say Middlesbrough where the average property price is ~£150k - it's that an average wage won't get you a decent house in a nice city location. A first time buyer could easily get a two bed house in Middlesbrough for around £100k.

In my opinion the solution is counter intuitively to stop building more houses in cities. The more you build in cities the more jobs and more people relocate there. And that feeds on itself because then more people want to live there because that's where all the action is.

If instead we invested in places like Middlesbrough and offered employees incentives to relocate we could distribute the demand for housing away from over populated cities.

We could also couple this with investment in public transportation and incentivise remote working which would allow people to comfortably live further out of city centres.

Though, I suspect this is understood fairly well by governments. I think they actually see urbanisation as a good thing because it's more efficient for business to have a pool of labour and consumers concentrated in a small geographic area. The only real cost is congestion and house prices, but that's a cost to humans, not businesses.
