Casting Guix as uniquely 'ideologically driven' is also silly.

Ideology runs through the communities and development processes of all kinds of tools, including possible alternatives to Guix, like Nix. You can find many Nixpkgs PRs where reviewers are concerned with 'purity' in a technical sense, which is absolutely ideological even when it addresses really important concerns.

And similarly, Nix doesn't let you install non-free software by default, even though it includes the build recipes in Nixpkgs. Software freedom is important (surprise, surprise) to many free software developers, not just contributors to Guix or other GNU projects.

Guix should not be overlooked because of the project's political commitments. It's absolutely general-purpose software which can be used flexibly.

It's not directly related to this exact thread but I want to address the macOS question from a Nix perspective, since it has come up on this post and often comes up on others. macOS breaks Nix all the time, almost on every major OS update. It is a lot of work to keep things working nicely on macOS, and even though Nix's macOS support is really good, it's not as good as the Linux support. While I think that makes Nix accessible to many users in a way that is great, it's totally understandable that Guix currently faces a chicken-and-egg problem in terms of developer interest in supporting macOS— if you don't already use, know, and like macOS, trying to port Guix to it and maintain that support seems daunting and pretty unattractive. I wouldn't want to be responsible for supporting either package manager on macOS.

And I don't think that has anything to do with 'extreme' developer ideology! It's just about the ordinary problem of developer interest and volunteer projects.
Thanks for teasing this subject out a little bit. My thoughts are "intelligence" and "consciousness" do not always hinge on one another. A severely disabled human, or an individual in a coma, for example, may display a low "IQ" but they can still be 100% conscious. Meanwhile, current iterations of artificial intelligence can exhibit a "high IQ" but are not "conscious".
Here are the most reliable numbers I could come up with:

1990(Q1) average home price $124,000

2020(Q1) average home price $329,000

1990 average interest rate 9%

2020 average interest rate 3%

1990 average monthly mortgage payment $998

2020 average monthly mortgage payment $1387

1990 Average Wage Index (AWI): $21,027.98

2020 Average Wage Index (AWI): $55,628.60

1990 average monthly mortgage as a percentage of AWI 4.7%

2020 average monthly mortgage as a percentage of AWI 2.5%

I'm stopping pre-covid as it doesn't seem like the real estate market has not had time to figure out the rapidly increasing interest/AWI rates.

All of the numbers are based on US numbers.
Seconded on a quality mattress. I acquired a new luxury Puffy hybrid from my parents, who bought it but didn't like it. I sleep better than I can remember, and don't wake up with random aches and pains. It's life changing, coming from a series of budget mattresses.
Would definitely recommend for anyone that does more than the bare minimum. Or anyone that only does the bare minimum but has some cash to spare.

The gap in reliability, quality and functionality between the little Ikea drill or $50 Black and Decker and even a low end Dewalt is _huge_. The gap between that and a $300+ drill is _mostly_ in longevity and its ability to stand up to sustained abuse.

Keep an eye out around father's day. There's pretty consistently sales on tools, or at least some sort of deal. I picked up tools up on fathers day a while back and it was was on sale _and_ included two extra free batteries. The batteries charge quickly enough that I've never been able to run them down before the other could charge.

I fought with cheap power tools for years before I finally bit the bullet and I regret not doing it sooner.
> If I wrote a giant table of token frequencies and associative keywords by analyzing a bunch of source, and sold that to people as a "github code analysis" book, I'm pretty sure that's perfectly fine because it's not a derivative work.

That sounds to me somewhat close to "if I take an FFT of each of those copyrighted images, glue them together, and sell this as a picture, is that a derivative work?" - I'd say yes, or perhaps even a different encoding of the original work, since you can reverse the frequency domain representation and get the original spatial representation - the original images - back.

They're not super common, but they are out there. I'm in Seattle and my first lease here was 13 months and second was 14 months. When we were first looking, we probably found 3 out of the 15 places we looked at that were offering up to 15 months. I've actually got friends in this building (https://www.thenoloseattle.com/) on a two year lease and there are plenty of 18 month leases still available on their website right now.

Can't agree. Using these repeated elements artist can add additional level of impression for a viewer. While AI probably will use random distribution in this situation.
In 2017 we extended our trading experience, infrastructure, and technology to digital assets, and we’re now trading crypto 24/7 around the world. We price all the most actively traded spot tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum in addition to derivatives like futures and ETPs, and we trade on almost all major global market centers, including crypto exchanges and traditional venues. We’re also a major OTC crypto liquidity provider, and our JCX single-dealer platform provides reliable, integratable liquidity in digital assets. Our institutional-grade crypto offering is a natural extension of our deep cross-asset expertise and our experience trading complex, difficult-to-price securities.

Interesting. Crypto has much less liquidly overnight compared to other markets, no? How would this work? Coinbase?

When I bought my house I went deep into battery powered tools (Ryobi, but I think its all similar). I have 2-3 drills and 2 impact drivers. It is really nice to not need to change bits often, and with my ADHD having a few sitting around in the room where I'm actively doing heavier work is nice too. Lots of batteries, handful of other tools from them.

Having multiple of some seemed very silly, but it really is so useful!
It's really about trading routes. Today different regions of the world specialize in different industries. You get competition between people vying in the same industry and between trading partners. Communication really doesn't help when it comes to corporate/national power struggles. This is also why so many 'brother' countries tend to fight; Ukraine and Russia, Yeman and Saudi Arabia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
I've heard the rule of thumb is that an acre of carrots uses as much water as an acre of tract homes.

I just did a little math and it's about right: an average crop irrigation might be 2-acre-feet water per-acre (imagine water 2ft high covering the field) which is 651800 gallons. It's almost double that for alfalfa. Most crops are in between and it varies depending on how many harvests per season are done.

Now, at 7 homes per acre at average of 12,000 gallons a month is 7 x 12 x 12000 = 1008000. About 50% of that goes to landscaping/pools/etc., btw. and with better management could be significantly reduced if people, as a whole, gave a hoot.

So ballpark, it's pretty accurate. The difference isn't that ag is so wasteful. It's whether you have 10 taxpayers and a whole bunch of carrots per 640 acres or two thousand taxpayers.

Maybe work is where you find meaning socially. But there are : church, gym buddies, so many other social outlets.

I'm saying it's okay to not WORK for a living. You can work on hobbies, things that bring you joy, volunteer, but just not be on a 9-5 schedule and just chill for a while, to recover.
You don’t even need to build, there’s plenty of cheap already built housing in places like detroit. Ask yourself: why do people prefer to live in san francisco so much more than detroit? It has nothing to do with the housing market. Solving the housing problem might not need to involve housing policies at all, just creating reasons for people to want to look for housing in other places.

That’s true, in much the sense that doctors make money off people being sick. In times of high volatility, it’s HFTs that provide liquidity and keep spreads narrower than they’d otherwise be. It is extremely illegal to purposefully make markets more volatile; good trading firms are not going to do that.
“He wasn’t wrong, he just wasn’t right yet” is an unfalsifiable claim and therefore unworthy of serious discussion. Ehrlich understood this and actually did make a bunch of concrete predictions and Every. Single. One. was wrong, often wildly so. Why hasn’t this updated your confidence in his claims way downward?
>This absurd beyond belief. Knitting has precisely nothing to do with politics, so I struggle to imagine what "conservative knitting viewpoints" even are. Or liberal ones, for that matter. Cross-stitching is a tool of systemic racism? Purl stitching is inviting the illegals to tukk-urr-jurrbs?

Apparently politics definitely leaked into that community a few years back. I recall reading stories about it back then.

https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/2/25/18234950/knitting-ra...

I am not part of that community but if it behaves like almost any other online community, any accusations of racism seem to always create a backlash that lumps the conservatives leaning folks within the group to racism whether the conservative has outright committed any racism or not. There tends to be a guilt by association that seems to happen often—where if you have opinion “A” (some standard conservative opinion on some subject not directly tied to racism) you must also have opinion “B” (some fringe race-oriented opinion sometimes found in conservative circles).

So folks just stay silent and try and just knit (or focus on whatever interest of the group), afraid to disclose any political opinion in a non-political interest group for fear of the label. Then…they get called out because if there isn’t overt acknowledgement by concerned members of the “correct” political ideology. That results in the abstaining is oppression attitude. You then find these kind of communities creating rules that don’t just discourage political conversations but rules attempting to exclude people who may fall into a political viewpoint altogether.

I don’t know if it’s distinctly American, but it definitely seems to happen here a lot. To be honest, I find it all ridiculous.
Seems fine, paired with limitations that they can't sell the places for more than they bought them for, nor can they charge rent over $100/mo.

Well, yeah, which is why the people who say addiction isn't a factor at all are being more than a little silly. Rent is a factor, but drug addicts make poor decisions in a crisis, obviously. And it's no coincidence that addicts have a weaker support system; most of them have spent years wearing it thin by the time they hit rock bottom.

I use a button with the icon of a bread on it. I guess it is air fry since my air fryer seems to only have one mode with fan and heat both on. That defaults to 320f, 8 minutes, which is far too long in my experience. Temperature is about right, you want it as hot as you can go without burning.
Ok but why do all the people need to live in city center? There is enough housing/land, just not in "prime" location.
I think the reason that we do what you and the post you're replying to describe is because it massively lowers "transaction costs" of social interactions. It's a simplifying abstraction, and obviously all abstractions will hide information or result in things being lost

I was in a similar position to you a couple of years ago. Burned out and quit my job, burned through my savings instead. After two months I felt no improvement and was beating myself up for being a failure, but after ten months I felt oddly re-energised, and ready to resume working.

I don't know what changed, I think it was just time taken to recover my mind. I wish you the best, it's a difficult state of mind to be in.

This looks really professional, and I'm impressed. I like you can self-host as well; I'm not personally a fan of relying on the cloud or third-party services for things like personal task management (company task/project management is fine), which I think many on HN share. Self-hosting goes a long way to solving that.

How did you build collaborative editing? I know it's a very complex thing to achieve.

It uses the Sustainable Use License. I am not familiar with this though some googling shows several companies using it. Can you share what led you to choose it?

Minor nitpick: your readme says "First, rename .env.example to .env." but I didn't see anything in the readme referring to "env".

The arithmetic mean gives you a sense of the return you can expect by investing in the market for a single year.

When investing over multi-year periods, the geometric average is more relevant.

You can see the impact on this chart, where the average return (and volatility) drops over longer time periods: https://themeasureofaplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Rol...

I don't think that's entirely true. Motorcycle noise on highways can be in excess of 100 dB and is broad spectrum noise. Most highway motorcycle rides are in the tens of minutes to hours range, but the damage can occur in just the single digits to teens of minutes.

Beyond a certain point, it doesn't really matter much that something is worse for your hearing than something that will permanently damage your hearing. Plus, people are interacting with lawn equipment, motorcycles, and other such things far more frequently than jackhammers.
I have a similar pot roast recipe, but I've found it comes out better in a slow cooker, or a dutch oven. I've never really been all that impressed with the results of the Instant Pot. Time savings? Even that depends - building and releasing pressure adds 40+ minutes to cook time.
Well yes, but why "negatively polarized"? Gentrification is just a somewhat derogatory word for "amenities that attract people to want to live in the area". It doesn't have to mean increased prices; that will depend on how easy it is to build real-estate there. A place can be perfectly "gentrified" in the amenities sense and be just a quaint, high-density town or neighborhood with average or even low housing costs.
Ya the other article I linked seems to imply there is movement on the Sites Reservoir project. In fact the article makes its seem like it is in the final planning stages. Note that the Sites location was first talked about in the 1950s so it has been a long long road.

I do pot-in-pot with 1:1 ratio of water to brown rice. We have a number of small stainless steel bowls that we set on top of the wire trivet (don't forget a small amount of water in the main pot too). I cook for ~15 minutes for most brown rice and then let the instant pot sit undisturbed for another 10-15 minutes while the pressure naturally releases, and the rice has a chance to take up any unabsorbed water.

White rice is the same deal, though I usually go a few minutes less (~12 minutes). I like to add a very small amount of some sort of oil to the inner pot with the rice.

Useful idiot is a great term for this.

It's ironic that the same people who want to prevent gentrification are the actual "bootlickers" after all. I ended up leaving San Francisco over this sort of stuff to go to my hometown with a cheaper cost of living.

Here in Louisville, we have fewer things going on than most metros. Yet every time a new apartment complex comes up a good amount of people scream bloody murder that it will raise rents unless 30% of it is marked "below market rate". This causes developers to spend their time building elsewhere, so that new options don't emerge to drive down rents. The city is objectively less wealthy than most other metros in the USA.

Nobody has ever said "stop farming, all that food is allowing more people to live, and now food is more expensive", yet they will repeat it time and time again with housing. Instead they correctly think, "farm more, if we get more people on Earth they can help us farm even more food. Also we can finally have enough people to have doctors."

Funny enough my state has 80% of the doctors per capita that California has, and 60% of the doctors per capita that New York has[1].

It's very frustrating to see people here fighting to stunt growth, and force their own young out to nearby cities with more open minds that let people make choices. For example, the state is debating between prioritizing poorly allocated pensions and lowering our tax rate. We're currently committed to lowering the income tax from 5% to 0% over 10 years but it's continually framed as theft to benefit the wealthy by opponents. Meanwhile Tennessee and Texas continue to have a 0% income tax and take our children and new businesses. The limited job market + wages and new business formations here reflect this. Everyone thinks of Kentucky as a poor state - people don't know we have one of the higher tax rates as well.

The only thing these anti-growthers are accomplishing is making sure the same elites who made these people's lives meek stay relatively powerful by upholding the very structures that enrich the elites. Maybe the elites are the ones driving the conversation?

I know I'm soapboxing here but wealth, a clean environment, ample jobs, and the ability for your own children to make a living in your region is as much a choice as anything else in this life. I'm thankful that San Francisco chose to let jobs develop there, but sad they chose not to allow me to settle there. I proudly work remotely for a CA company, and hope other states can copy the choices CA made to allow businesses and workers to flourish, and learn from their mistakes which are currently sending them away.

If you choose to stop chaining your neighbor good things will flow.

Of course Турыгин is a Russian name. Spelling it using Estonian script doesn't change anything.

Looking up other Turõgins in Estonia, they all have very obviously Russian first names and zero obviously Estonian names.

There's no doubt that Ivan Turõgins parents fully intended to give him a Russian name, even if Estonia requires Estonian script on Estonian identity documents.

Even Estonians call these names "Russian names", that's what they are. If someone in Estonia decides to name their kid Muhamed, that doesn't magically become an Estonian name.
