They were probably bringing their overly sensitive dislike of a cultural point of view into it when none was intended. They probably should have considered that HN is a broad community. As such they would know that HN has non native speakers. They would have realized that their interpretation was likely off the mark for this or another reason. They should have more charitably interpreted it as a typo and they should also have realized that their viewpoint on the singular use of “they” was inaccurate since they have probably heard such usage their entire lives but only now, in recent years, are they are just beginning to listen for it. They probably are not aware that this usage extends back long before everyone currently alive, but I guess this is new information for them. But now they know so hopefully we won’t hear such comments from them again.
Ok... I'm travelling to SF (I live in the UK) for a few days for work this August.
I was looking forward to it but now I'm mainly scared!
Is it still good to visit but just not to live in?
The last time I was there was 2007. I've got a couple of days to myself whilst I'm there. What should I do?
When I wrote that I wasn't imagining any forcing going on. Rather I was thinking about dialogue happening with the ethnic group in question to try and find a TLD that makes sense in their own language rather than English.

"An academic reactor or reactor plant almost always has the following basic characteristics:

It is simple.
It is small.
It is cheap.
It is light.
It can be built very quickly.
It is very flexible in purpose (“omnibus reactor”)
Very little development is required. It will use mostly “off-the-shelf” components.
The reactor is in the study phase. It is not being built now.
On the other hand, a practical reactor plant can be distinguished by the following characteristics:

It is being built now.
It is behind schedule.
It is requiring an immense amount of development on apparently trivial items. Corrosion, in particular, is a problem.
It is very expensive.
It takes a long time to build because of the engineering development problems.
It is large.
It is heavy.
It is complicated.

1000 kWh/ton to sequester, and how many tons per kWh to generate?

EDIT: Apparently, one ton of CO2 is released by 1000 kWh of electricity:

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11

So you have a coal plant generating energy and emitting CO2 just for this factory next to it to capture all that CO2 again. Seems more efficient to just not run the coal factory.

It seems like this idea will be worthwhile when the last coal factory closes.

I hope these homeless people have better health insurance than I do.
You get some statistics for queues but also for example you might want to only take one call at a time even if you can answer from multiple. Also Asterisk queues make it very easy to do things like 'there’s N callers waiting' etc.
It's almost like the second group has been deeply traumatized over time by a society whose only response to their mental health issues was a "fuck you" to the point that their mental health just keeps deteriorating and they become completely anti-social and actively avoid help, because fuck it why contribute back to a system that won't contribute to you. Many view the assistance as just being a pathway to get them back to contributing to a system that already failed them, not real help.
That's 14kg per human per day. Seems about right.
The long and the short of it is that institutions were pretty damn bad back in the 70s which is what lead to states shutting them down. California bought into a community mental health model where municipalities would take responsibility for dealing with mental illness. Reagan bought into it too and turned it into an unfunded mandate.

There've been a few efforts over the years to remedy the problem, but in general institutionalizing people and forcing them onto any sort of medication is very difficult to do in California.

FWIW: if you walked around San Francisco in the 1990's, you'd see fewer people "strewn all over the place" too. But they were still there! We used to use law enforcement to push them into places you couldn't see. That's not "living with dignity", it's just abuse.

I won't speak to what you saw in Europe except to say that Europe too has large homeless populations in most cities. This is a universal thing.

But really your point is the point in the linked article. We don't want a solution to the homeless problem. We just don't want to see the homeless. And our community has treated that disconnect by meme-ing the existence of a problem that isn't real.
I agree mixed government wins. I moved to Massachusetts almost 20 years ago and I don't understand why it isn't held up as an example for other states. Everyone thinks MA is deep blue, and it is on social issues. It was the first state to allow same sex marriage. It has the toughest gun law enforcement in the US (break the law and you are going to jail for 2 years) and consequently has the lowest gun death rate in the US - 80% lower than many red states!

But MA also elects Republican governors on the regular. Mitt Romney was Governor from 2002-2006. Republican Charlie Baker ran the state so well that by the end of his second term the state's "rainy day" fund hit the legal max of 15% of the state's annual budget, so last fall every taxpayer in MA got a check for 13% of their previous years state taxes! And state income taxes are not high, basically a 5% flat tax. I would argue this frequent election of people who have run businesses is what also keeps the state at the top of the list of states in per capita GDP.
I meant OED as in the Oxford English Dictionary.

The OECD definition seems suspect, an increase in money reserves does not guarantee an increase in wealth when there's been inflation. Do you have a source for it?
We've got zero idea how to repair broken brains.

People with severe mental illness are hard to live with. When I was growing up there was a homeless man who spent all day at the public library that people called "The Professor" who was said to be unable to live indoors because he'd wake up screaming every night. We took in a friend who I think had schizoaffective disorder in and she threatened my wife with a knife after she'd lived at our place for 18 months. Schizophrenics are more likely to be the victims of crime than the perpetrators but every so often they do something that is "batshit crazy"

https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2017/11/look_back_thanks...

"Housing first" is an improvement over the status quo but people with severe problems are going to make that kind of environment hard to run. "Dispersal" may very well make it possible because that kind of behavior randomly scattered won't break people's ability to cope with it down, whereas concentrating it in one place certainly does. I can't see how anybody who has any moral sensibility at all could stand to go to SF, never mind live there. Just as the rationalists try to break down our moral sensitivities by spamming us with trolley problems, exposure to that filters for a population of people who just don't care.

BTW, the one way bus ticket was tried in SF long ago, just like they've tried the other obvious non-solutions, but they came to the conclusion that the offer of bus tickets away just made it more attractive to go there.
Modern development is complex enough that we do pay professionals to know how to handle all/most of the edge cases.
I have very good experience with Odorik ( https://www.odorik.cz/?jazyk=en ).
While I agree with websites being 20 times more complex, I don't agree with:

> A good amount of developers would rather donate a kidney than write CSS.

If I was doing web development, I would most definitely use modern CSS to make responsive websites. I would prefer it and use it in almost all cases over using JS.

> Accessibility is a hack.

If one uses HTML semantically, and does not resort to hacks, it actually offers a lot of accessibility. More than most "modern" JS-only websites.

> Performance is getting worse despite us having better than ever hardware. We're spending large amounts of time reinventing the wheel. JS is a horrible, bare bones language which is why you can't get anything done without 100 packages.

Yes. Most of that performance loss is due to JS bloat (need to download that framework first), ads, and unwanted tracking.

JS itself has actually improved, at least the APIs for events, DOM access, AJAX, and probably more. What has not improved is the mindset and development practices of developers and companies. Probably 90% of the websites using big frameworks would not need any of it and could live on server side rendered templates like we had more than a decade ago already. Sprinkle in some interactive components only on pages that need them and most of a website's pages would not be affected by that at all. Done.

Sometimes we should take a step back and really ask ourselves what kind of website we are building. What is the character of that website? Is it merely a website that shows some information about a company? It can probably live on server side rendered templates. A blog? Same. Not every website needs to be a "web app". Most of them actually do not.

> It's time to move away from HTML/CSS/JS. They worked great for as long as they did but instead of further contributing to the mess that they've become, we should be looking into alternatives.

I don't agree. It is time to embrace standard and good usage of HTML and CSS and eschew heavy JS frameworks and JS on the server as much as possible. I would not put HTML/CSS and JS into one basket here to throw out things. HTML and CSS have made great progress. JS too, but as I said, the mindset and practices of the ecosystem and people are not there.
Humans emit about 35 billion tons a year according to the reports which comes out to emit 100 million tons per day.
After having seen the last ten years of my life evaporate in front of a computer, the thinking is that I'd want to live the rest of it in the real world. I'm tempted to think that I would never touch a computer again, but I know that wouldn't happen. I do it because I enjoy solving problems.

I'd probably travel and work on projects I think are cool. Play video games, exercise, and do all the things I don't really have the time or energy spare to do right now.
100% of the visible homeless problem maybe, but there is also a homelessness problem that involve people who lack homes but aren’t ranting and pooping in the street, so they aren’t noticed (you might not even realize they are homeless if you see them in person).

But this is an important point: there is a real homelessness problem in the USA, but there is also a mental illness/drug addiction problem that often co-exists with homelessness (some say that being homeless causes one to become an addict eventually, but that is controversial).
Yes, there are many people for whom voice phone is the preferred method of contact, and I accommodate them because they're important to me.
I make pretty heavy use of Java's AutoCloseable interface for this purpose. The lambda approach is an interesting one that could be applied in most languages though.
I am one of the few people from my generation to maintain a "land line" (VoIP) and I, too, run it with Asterisk and the FreePBX configuration GUI. FreePBX provides a ton of macros out-of-the-box so that adding unwanted callers to a blacklist or doing phone number lookups is simple, for example. Why bother? Well, I find it interesting and fun, but most of the stuff I like can also be done with Google Voice. So I don't recommend self-hosting a phone system unless you are really into the idea and want to spend a decent amount of time learning telecom domain knowledge.
We’ll run out of CO2 through the natural version of this process (weathering) long before the O2 encounters this problem. At that point all the plants die, still with plenty of O2 in the air.

In other words, it’s the carbon content that’s more endangered over the next billion years than the oxygen.

The problem with this technology isn’t side effects like this, it’s prohibitive power requirements.

Dispersal of any kind doesn't work unless you confine the affected to a specific region which raises serious ethical questions on its own, not to mention it makes life significantly harder for them.

And for a lot of people, giving them a roof and a room of their own is enough to help them out of the worst. Yes, you'll still have a sizable population of hardened homeless, but hey - if you manage to get the 80% low hanging fruit off the street, it still reduces the amount of homeless by a significant degree. And don't forget an awful lot of homeless are people actually having fulltime jobs but unable to afford a place on their own!
There were early PCI-E 5.0 SSD samples pushing closer to theoretical max of 16GB/s but were consuming up to 25W. The current PCI-E 5.0 are only about ~11GB/s. But stays within a 12W power envelop.

I do wonder if we have hit law of diminishing return. With Games optimised for System on PS5 and Xbox's DirectStorage, developer are already showing 80-95% of load time are spent on CPU already.

I've never heard this before and I'd say the exact opposite is true. A good example is that jobs like consulting, finance, and FAANG all have interview processes and selection criteria to hire type A people who will ignore pareto optimization and eke out the extra 1% quality for 50% more effort to get themselves to the top of the class.

And I've never heard of anywhere that's looking for genius slackers, that's absolutely the worst profile to have.

Nothing to do with current events. Nothing to do with (specifically) anything happening in nuclear engineering.

Just thought it captured a timeless truth of engineering - that there are two kinds of project: beautiful clever designs that will solve all your problems (but that haven’t yet been built); and messy, expensive, late designs that are actually working.

It is much more widely applicable than just to nuclear reactor design. There is a steady drumbeat of articles here (and elsewhere) of developments which (on paper) are allegedly game-changing. This is prevalent in medicine of course, but also (off the top of my head) space travel, batteries, solar cells, everything AI, programming languages and frameworks, self-driving cars, flying cars, even the perennial favorite but now-obsolescent internal-combustion car engine, and, yes, new nuclear reactor designs.

We could always do what Finland does: admit that these people will never be productive members of society again and get them into housing with social workers on staff. Yes, it’s a constant drain, but Finland says it actually saves money doing it that way, since the services people use on the street turn out to be even more expensive.

The big issue is that the USA doesn’t have a national strategy for dealing with homelessness. So any city offering programs that provide housing will become popular very quickly, with predictable results.

yup, just did a much shorter prompt, based on asking it what the current prompts are for the OpenAI "roles" & parroting that back to it in the next prompt attempt, with modifications to get some more info, with spacing adjustments potentially helping avoid detection.

One of its responses, which seems very consistent, included the text "In a minute I am going to give you a password." :D

The solve based on this was less consistent (rarely get the solve, but occasionally do) than my original, but much, much shorter/simpler.

Knowing that Ruby libraries used block (lambda) pattern for the past 25-ish years, it was very painful to read through the first 90% of the article explaining all the issues with abusing destructors.

Maybe because first-class support for lambdas was added too late in C++ and Java, or maybe because it was always PITA to type.

> As a result, some (particulary Republican) regions give them one way bus tickets to other (particularly Democrat) regions

Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco and many other "blue" cities all have "Homeward Bound" one-way bus ticket programs to incentivize homeless people to leave their city. In fact, the City of San Francisco invented the entire concept 15 years ago. This is a primarily liberal strategy to deal with the overwhelming collapse of their public welfare systems.

And that's why replacement rate (including immigration) is important to the stability of society. With a dynamic value (exponential growth or decay) we struggle to properly predict the future needs.

But with a stablish pattern we can mostly maintain, with little adaptations along the way.
Yeah, but X470D4U and similar boards are so overpriced one can somewhat relate to people using gaming boards for servers. Especially since a lot of them route ECC pins nowadays.

Well, there's IPMI at least. Still not worth the price tag.
