My answer comes from more of a Libertarian perspective it is quite simple. The community does not own the privately held land. If every landowner in the community opposed development, zoning would be unnecessary. If some individuals want to sell to Developers, zoning is just oppression of the minority by Democratic means.

Being part of a democracy does not mean you get to control every single action that could impact you.
Talk about a strawman.

At no point are the men getting mad at her or expressing that. They're not like, "Well fuck you, ya damn stupid cunty bitch." They're not doing that and you know they're not. If she just says no thank you then all they do is walk away feeling down. If instead she's super aggressive and an asshole about it like: "ew no, you fucking incel dweeb. Fucking die!" then maybe they have all the reason to be mad at her.

Doubt your daughter is going to be telling you when she acts like the later though.
> When was the last time you lost a debate on a topic you felt strongly about?

Why would you talk about something you feel strongly about in the first place? If you are sure you have got it all figured out, there is nothing left to talk about. Discussion is only useful when you recognize gaps in your understanding and are able to learn more about it.

> it's never really possible to lose a debate

It is. If you cannot compel the other party to offer you information that you can successfully learn from, you've lost. A debate is only won if you've learned something from it. Which, again, is why it would be rather illogical to debate something you feel strongly about. What can you learn if you already have it figured out? If you truly know it all you are guaranteed to lose every time, and at that point why waste your time?
I enjoyed listening to these as a child!

Not exactly what you're asking, but I have a dedicated VM for handling financial stuff and financial stuff only. Banking, bill pay, investments, accounting. Keeps things separate from my work/play environments; less risk of picking up something nasty that harvests those creds. And it's easy to take a snapshot and back it up for a quick restore. For $REASONS I've used the free VMWare ESXi license for this for years. I briefly tried to have a separate VM for on-line shopping, but that ended up being too much friction, particularly for the rest of the family.

Being able to spool up a VM quickly from a template is also nice to constrain the blast radius of those "this is probably a bad idea, but..." experiments.

When I was doing more consulting, I would usually have a per-client VM, at least to handle client communications, client access and document/deliverable prep. Heavy lifting was usually done on shared infrastructure, but it made life a lot easier to have that separation.

If you have a side-hustle going, I'd definitely want to avoid co-mingling that with anything else (esp real-work stuff).
The point about "billions" was about proportions: for everyone like you or me, there are 1-2 other people on this planet living under radically different familial expectations. They don't need to all be working at tech jobs on tech salaries; it only needs to be the case that a substantial proportion are (which is true).

I don't know how old you are, but it sounds like your parents benefited from a substantially more worker-friendly economy than most people in my generation do. Put another way: it's fantastic that your family was able to get you the help you needed, but I don't think that you experience is repeatable in 2023 ("keeping up with the Joneses" or not).
I’m waiting for (probably far off) day when System76 makes its own laptops instead of using Clevo hardware. I just can’t deal with that keyboard & trackpad quality.

I have a somewhat similar issue. He was never really present in my life (working too much etc.) and so we never connected. But he's also just a... somewhat unpleasant person to be around. If it's more than a few hours, it starts to get too much, so I rarely stay overnight in my home town. Recently (last Christmas) he's been making an effort to connect with me, but it's just so awkward and makes visits for me even more unpleasant. I just can't imagine ever connecting with him, no matter how hard he tries. (Doesn't help that he's recently started smoking again after like 15 years of being clean. I just don't understand it.)

It's most pronounced in my relationship with my father, but it's also my family in general. I feel a bit more connected to my mom and my grandparents, but I just can't say my family is very important to me, even if it sounds sad. My friends have always been my substitute family, in a way, even as a child, and it's even stronger now as a single adult. I probably spend more times with my friends from Norway (I live in Germany) in a single year than with my family in a decade.

Needless to say, this is also an unresolved issue for me. Not sure if it's possible to solve it other than accepting how it is.
That does sound inconvenient, but is it so bad as to warrant three similar comments in the same short thread in the space of twenty minutes?
I grew up in a Soviet planned city, with courtyard focused developments.

Our playgrounds were(they still are) larger and more accessible, than anything my current neighbours kids get on their 2a of land in rural USA.

Even the new developments in Eastern Europe provide a kid friendly courtyard. Shielded from all traffic and observable by literally the whole community.

Suburbia should be reserved for the insane rich people, that hate their neighbors.
To the first point -- certainly some friction here. In most cases the employee is able to integrate the app and flags arise to IT after the fact. Then the employee connects us with IT and we resolve the issue by going through a security questionnaire / showing our SOC II. The majority of our current users are SMBs, where they don't have significant IT oversight, we're one of the few products in the space that's truly self-serve.

To the second -- very good point and something we continue to experiment with. Our basic thesis is -- if your search is really good, people will learn to default to your app. For many of our users, the unification is less so the value and more so the better search quality, especially compared to Gmail and GDrive. Another good point that writing things as a question is often a worse user experience than just using Google search esque terminology. For our Ask Needl feature, you can still get value without writing an entire question. Ex: website total budget --> $1000-1500.

Our YC journey was certainly formative. Much of the advice given was counter-intuitive in the bull market of Nov 21 when everyone was spending and growing as fast as possible. My biggest takeaway was the focus on solving hard problems with small teams and only caring about what your users think of you. Would highly recommend - the culture is unparalleled.
I'm fine with trying new things. In particular, I'm curious as to whether people have tried to build a desktop environment around webkit or similar--basically using the web stack instead of traditional GUI toolkits? Is there some obvious reason this is a bad idea (yeah, I know working in JS is unpleasant, but we have alternatives these days and frankly all of the native GUI toolkits for Linux are pretty unpleasant as well).

EDIT: I know ChromeOS exists, but that's a lot more than a desktop environment (can't even run a compiler natively for all intents and purposes iirc).
How is it that not a single person "in the know" (of which apparently there were a great many) had the sense to simply take this directly to the CTO, seeing as how clear middle management was failing a massive, critical and time sensitive task. It doesn't matter if you are the Janitor, it's obvious they are going to want to clear all the red tape out of the way as soon as they find out. What is it some kind of "not my problem"ism? Madness.

Windows Defender often doesn't like Go programs either.

Not sure the current status but at least a few times a year I have Windows Defender flag Go programs I compiled myself locally as potential malware. This has happened as recently as November.
Texans don't want to live in suburbs in drive cars, they have no choice because it's illegal to build dense housing via deed covenants and city ordinances that work in place of zoning. The most expensive and desirable housing (not counting the hyper-wealthy enclaves) in Houston is also the most walkable and dense.

Ok, so the key is that it must be close to public transport. I guess that could work, if the implementation is sensible.

Does this guy really think miners are look at every op return_data field in every transaction for something offensive to the CCP?

I suspect if he kept doing and bragged about doing it he might find that Chinese minors may start doing something about it.

Anyway, what's more interesting to me is the censorship of transactions from wallet addresses associated with tornado cash.
The newer version of the OS allows customization of the launch bar. It's quite different from 1 year ago.
This is addressed in the thread.
TurnItIn also let's students submit beforehand last I heard - if people are going to use tools like this then students should also get full access to make sure they won't get flagged ahead of time.

I had some professors where you could fully grade your own assignments before submitting and it was the best courses I've ever taken - you're fully given all the knowledge to figure out what you know and what you don't
The second point highlighted by a "-" is trying to get at that. It's not so much a pure detection issue, it's a tracking issue.

My understanding is that the robotic scanning telescopes can detect these objects, but that unless they get a high-quality track, the telescope has already moved on with its scan and the NEO will be lost. That is, detection is hard, but tracking is harder, and you need tracking.

And I guess my comments are also directed at the "systems" aspect of the NEO protection problem - detection, tracking, followup.
People want to live where the jobs are. It doesn’t make sense for California to brag about being the world’s fifth largest economy but to also plan on housing 0 new people a year.
>I fail to see how trying to eliminate race as a barrier to employment for a capitalist firm is neo-marxist. Saying black people are systemically oppressed doesn't lead to the democratization of ownership of capital.

DIE doesn't try to eliminate race as a barrier to employment. That's the race-grifting component. We already have labor laws preventing discrimination in hiring.
I think they are referring to the human resources part of the fragmentation issue: capable people working on yet another desktop environment.

The, perhaps unrealistic and naive, thinking behind this is that if these capable people combined their efforts into one desktop environment, we'd have one great Linux desktop environment, instead of several okay desktop environments.
Nope, but you do have to enable it in the settings last I checked. Not certain about RS3.
It's not just inconvenient, I've been personally burned by this issue and am livid that Elementary OS markets itself in this way without a warning. Imagine installing Elementary OS on a bunch of PCs for charity only to discover that those users are going to be completely insecure in 2 years because you weren't informed. You might never meet those people again, and who knows what will happen to them. It's reasonable to assume a user knows how to update their computer once in a while; it is not reasonable to assume an "elementary" user knows how to reinstall their OS.

@pacifika: The Ubuntu LTS core will not help the built-in apps that won't receive updates (i.e. Mail, Web, Music, the Parthenon desktop environment), and the LTS core for version 6 (which was current until yesterday) is 20.04 LTS, so it will be obsolete in about 2 years. If you installed Elementary OS for a friend a week ago, that's not what you expected. So, you got 3 1/2 years on the long end of support and 2 years on the short end between releases.
> Nothing about our current theories of gravity requires the gravitational body to not be flat

On the contrary the bulk behaviour of the source matter demands an ellipsoidal Earth: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_equilibrium#Deriva...>.

One might attempt to banish magma, lava, and other indicators of fluid flow (the oceans, the atmosphere, planetary differentiation generally) and imagine an infinitely rigid lipped/walled plate underneath. However, then:

An eternally-accelerating flat plate does not generate the Weyl curvature tensor which a set of plumb bobs or zero-length springs can measure.

Even before General Relativity, such measurements were undertaken and characterized as smooth functions of distance from the Equator less than sixty years after Newton e.g. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairaut%27s_theorem_(gravity)>.

This is why I like decentralized apps where you can use a content-addressed frontend that is just pinned to a specific version. I can choose to update to the next major version if I want to.
I've come across this notion that nowadays machine learning provides (in some sense) the biggest group of Python users a few times recently.

What reason is there to suppose this is true? It seems surprising to me.
> and haven't done enough to prevent it

Nuh uh, go read the thread.
Fair enough. But honestly I wouldn't be happy if my area (which has big properties, lots of space between each house) was de-zoned into an anarchy where developers could build 10 story "luxury housing", increasing traffic and noise. I guess the intention is good, but it won't work everywhere.
This is really cool. I love the yearly views. Are you going to make an app too?
Because that's their name, in the first place.

In the second place, why not? Does it cost you anything to acquiesce to a person wishing to be addressed a specific way? (Also, speaking as a woman, fuck the "polite she" idea.)
You don't see many kids in San Francisco because homes are tiny, prices are crazy, police don't enforce public order, and the public school system is mess. Opening up zoning restrictions is generally a good thing, but it's not going to make SF an attractive place for middle-class families to raise small children.
Helios Design System from HashiCorp
If your idea is one in which users are more than marginally committed (so not a marketplace where people buy only once on vacation) then you can avoid the flutter web problems by shipping it as a desktop app. Flutter on desktop is very responsive and it has the advantage that it's the native environment with the real Dart VM. Also if you want to do anything with hardware then it's a good way to go.
It doesn't sound like this would have helped in this particular case since they were unable to contact the customer.
Yes, they lost me on the lack of upgrades. When a new version came out, I saw there were a few random blogs posts on how to do a very much unsupported upgrade through the command line. But I avoided the risk. Since I'd have to do a reinstall anyway, I downloaded stock Ubuntu and never looked back. And I was a happy Elementary OS user. Alas, I can understand where they were coming from, though, on that decision. They are/were a small, scrappy team and the QA effort for testing upgrade processes is non-trivial. They had to pick their battles on what to support. I didn't agree with their choice, but I can empathize with them on why they did it.
Yea, I also do RAW+JPEG, Some times the JPEG turns out just fine and I won't bother with darktable, other times I use the JPEG as a sort of "what would the camera have done" reference, like, for inspiration for the direction I could develop it.
I also love this about tech, but can't help but feel this is less and less true as time goes on. Plenty of weirdos still in tech, but they make up a much smaller percentage of the tech population than they used to. The weirdos that are here don't feel as comfortable being weird as they used to.

I knew a lot of actually-weird weirdos at my first tech job a decade ago; my coworkers since have been rather less weird on average.

Horrible idea, you can't eliminate the false positives and these are going to impact innocent students or used to re-enforce teacher biases.
Well, in this scenario, you are actually the 'former' colleague getting recruited to be a co-founder while the other folks stay stable. You just admitted you would and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a PM or even another engineer who would want to join forces. That's different than a complete stranger recruiting you -- I would be very wary.
It's not that no one believes it, the problem is that this particular possible proof of ABC conjecture came from 1000-1500 pages of dense, new math. As in, the proof writer invented some new math, and from that new math he claims he can prove ABC as a sort of side-project to his goal of furthering his new mathematical area. No one else can really understand his proof because it would take years to study the text behind it, but a few are trying and may have found a hole in his proof. I am not sure what the status is since the article you linked, but as with huge code bases I am pretty sure that there must be at least one error in those 1000-1500 pages of math.
In fairness I think I do know what they want, which is better support from third-party (and especially proprietary) software vendors. A Linux workstation can be painfully close to perfectly usable for a lot of professionals who have various personal reasons to prefer it to Windows or macOS— reasons you and I would likely emphatically agree with, no less!

There's this hope that if only for the fragmentation, Linux might finally have Photoshop or whatever.

I get it. I've contended with integrating disparate GUI frameworks on my system. I appreciate what Apple's virtual monopoly on app frameworks for macOS allows them to do in terms of accessibility and integrations and UI changes, in rapid, uniform ways.

But you can't impose uniformity on the Linux desktop without draining the oasis, without killing what makes it a breath of fresh air in the first place.
Oh OK, that works
You can go ahead and do that
Yet you can hardly get a house sitting in the market even if it is more than a million dollars. Obviously the demand is very high.
Obviously not the 14M people who live in Tokyo. Those buildings aren't empty! Population of Santa Monica is 91,000, which is what the population of Tokyo would be if nobody wanted to live there :)

If the density becomes problematic, buy the land, or mosey on.

This to me is the least compelling counter-argument. "Nobody wants to live in a big dense city" is like saying "nobody drives in New York, there's too much traffic!" You personally don't, but obviously, we can tell by inspection that's simply not a true statement in general.

Which brings us back to "but I got here first!" which is to me, the second-least compelling argument.

> I'm against "sex work" because women (it's women in the majority of cases) are trafficked and taken advantage of, in both a material and a direct physical way.

That's a very naive and harmful take.

Criminalizing sex work means that only criminals would be involved in it, hence the trafficking.

Given that you can't do anything about supply and demand, the only sane solution to trafficking is decriminalizing sex work. Not being "against it".
That’s the question. Why did so many of the British never feel the EU is “theirs” even though objectively they were one of the most powerful countries in the Union and were instrumental in designing the rules?

It might have made some kind of difference if enough politicians after 1990 would have bothered to explain that to the British public.
> Basically how things were built pre-WW2?

The majority of America was not some idyllic "streetcar suburb" even pre WWII. Majority of it was either grid based urban development or rural residential / agriculture in large plots (often 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640 acre plots).

https://web.archive.org/web/20131108174122/http://www.thegre...

As agriculture got more efficient, and raising food for ones self became less common, and as cars became more prevalent these large rural plots often got sold to developers who would be tasked with breaking up the land into parcels and installing new roads and infrastructure.

Even in 1906 in San Francisco, you can see that cars are beginning to overtake the cable car and horse carriage as the central form of transport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHkc83XA2dY

So it's natural that majority of American land was developed around the automobile.
The three XHTML DTD's (Transitional, Strict, Frameset) were just copied from the HTML 4.0 spec, so they are independent of the HTML/XHTML divide.

There are really three independent things in play:

- DTD's define a set of valid elements and attributes.

- Quirks/standards rendering modes affect how CSS is rendered.

- The HTML/XHTML divide is about the low-level HTML syntax and how invalid syntax should be handled.

These are all independent concerns since CSS operates on the parsed tree of elements and doesn't care about lexical syntax or DTD's.

XHTML did not attempt to address the quirks/standards mode issues at all, since this is the domain of CSS.
I think this line from the article serves as a good summary:
