So you still have nothing left to say about telling Zuckerberg and Meta to shut their services down since you know you won't do it?

Just admit you weren't serious about what you said and you were just being a sock-puppet.

Again, Meta's services is still up and running with its billions of users still on the platform whilst you continue to sit there complaining about shutting it down. You are all talk.
They're trying to control the message.

I don't think Reddit intends to profit off their API, not in any significant way. The pricing is too harsh and will likely kill off most 3rdparty usage of the API.

This really feels like them trying to completely kill off the 3rdparty ecosystem, but do it in such a way that when it does actually happen, they can claim that it was all the 3rdparty developers faults because they had provided an API and everything.
Thanks for sharing. As a data engineer who dabs into docker and k8s and terraform but never heavily use them or build infra from scratch, what's my best shot to get into a DevOps position, if moving across team is not possible?

I do have a degree (math) and am really thinking about getting some serious certifications such as the Red Hat one the above commentor talked about, or some docker/k8s certification although I think they are a bit shallower than a Linux one. When I'm free, recently I began to dab into Linux system programming and a xv6 course but they are at best a long shot.

Programming language side I'm OK with Python, knows some C from system programming dab and C++ from another hobby of building small game engines.
And places like SF with a budget of about $100k/yr/person for homeless, make it effectively illegal to get an accounting of where the money goes.
I think it is possible to report someone's stated reasons for something incredibly stupid without judgment. In fact, compassion depends on listening to what people say about themselves.

It also matters for judging how the system treats someone.

Great feedback. Thanks for your time.
You could build a lot of them for $3.7B/year though.. split among 150,000 homeless, that's $24,000 per year each

'course, it's not hard to imagine those homes ending up like the free zone in The Wire or the housing projects in Judge Dredd...
1. We need more public housing.

2. The housing has to be slightly worse than the lowest quality housing available on the market. (Think SROs or dormitory style).

3. You have to make access to some of the housing unconditional.

This was the solution in most cities until large bipartisan pushes in the late 90s sought to end "projects" and "slums".

I totally understand trying to make efforts to also solve drug and crime related problems. Or even get people into nice houses or jobs. But it seems like all for all of the money we are refusing to spend on actual homes, we may as well move the drugs and crime indoors and off the streets.

The problem isn't the US military being incompetent, it's american citizens living in fear of loosing control.

The fantasy of pilots circling around balloons in unceasing awe and amazement provides a feeling of superiority, the "obvious" resolution there just as in stories such as GP's instill the idea of being in perfect command of the relevant context.

UAPs on the other hand, the idea of them being indications of the presence of some superior non-human intelligence, that is representing ultimate loss of control. Threatening to call into question too many comfortable convictions.
The vast majority of those "vacant" homes are either very temporarily up for sale or rent, dilapidated, or in need of a lot of repairs. There are not 16 million habitable units sitting empty year after year.

Edit: Reply to paisawalla

May I point out the post I replied to had no data. If you have data that addresses the two points you made, please post them. It is always easy to nitpick data when you have none.
TL;DR (the crucial info is, predictably, at the very end): share a picture with someone via dropbox or whatever and embed that dropbox page on a website you control, then "analyze accessible information about the target’s browser and the behavior of their processor as the request is happening to make an inference about whether the content request was allowed or denied."

So you can confirm via unspecified vectors whether a visitor is among a specific set of persons if they are logged in with the right user account. (Not exactly a way to unmask any anonymous user on any major platform, the way the headline sounds.)

Edit: oh, it's not at the very end. Beyond the horizontal line and newsletter begging there's a few more paragraphs I didn't see before. Credit where it's due, they didn't bury it at the end but, instead, only 988 words stand between you and the above information!
Exactly. To the extent that the TOS carveout protects sites free speech it also moots the law's anti-"retaliation" provision.

We need to fire state legislators that promote plainly unconstitutional laws, it's both professionally incompetent and a violation of their oath of office ( https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/dgs/fmc/pdf/std688.pdf ).

But hey, if they're going to advance unconstitutional laws it's at least polite that they're so incompetently drafted that they're self mooting.

A remark on your fail.js, since you’re engaging here and I figure this could interest you or others:

Once there are more than thirty rows, you fade rows in like this:

row.style.opacity = 0;
let intervalId = setInterval(function() {
opacity = Number(window.getComputedStyle(row).getPropertyValue("opacity"));
if (opacity < 1) {
opacity = opacity + 0.1;
row.style.opacity = opacity;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalId);
}
}, 100);

This would be better done with a CSS animation or transition—it takes less code, and is smoother.

My suggestion: use animation. Replace the JavaScript with this:

row.classList.add("fade-in");

And add this CSS:

.fade-in {
animation: 1s fade-in;
}

@keyframes fade-in {
from { opacity: 0; }
}

This does behave a little differently, as if the window isn’t visible, it’ll (roughly) wait until you focus the window before playing the animation. Frankly this is even mildly more desirable.

The alternative: use transitions, which are a tad more involved because you have to trigger the value change one frame later, so that it recognises that something has changed and interpolates to it, rather than it just being the initial value and applied instantly. This JS would do:

row.style.transition = "1s opacity";
row.style.opacity = 0;
requestAnimationFrame(() => {
row.style.opacity = 1;
});

Or you could express it with more CSS, like with this CSS + JS:

tr {
transition: 1s opacity;
}

.invisible {
opacity: 0;
}

row.classList.add("invisible");
requestAnimationFrame(() => {
row.classList.remove("invisible");
});

On the flag icons, here’s a cool alternative technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_indicator_symbol. Lets you avoid needing even images. Unfortunately, I think Windows still doesn’t ship flags, so you’ll get the two-letter country code there. You can get around this by packaging a web font. It’d be nice if someone would neatly package a flags-only font so others can easily use it.

So funny story, for a while I worked on a 'reverse' exploit. Which is to say morphing the response from ssh to the client with large malformed packets. The idea was to crash the client making the request. In my case I found these attacks would have like 6 to 10 attempts from the same source address. By time stamping the requests, I could evaluate if the next attack from the same address came more quickly or more slowly. I then had my server "morph" the return payload somewhat randomly and keep the three responses that caused the most slowdown. When I got to 100 variants that had "won" this selection criteria I took the three best and started over from there. After a couple of months of this I finally got a response where after one request I would not get a second.

I felt extremely pleased with myself for about another month, and then my server address got hit with a massive DDOS attack (for me anyway) over my 6MBPS DSL line. So clearly I had hit a nerve somewhere :-). Anyway, I moved my server to a different address and used fail2ban to just note source IPs and put them into the IP tables as banned addresses. That works great and hasn't resulted in the same sort of drama as last time.
Surely those drivers exist. They just don't seem to be the primary factor, for most folks.

I think you may have inverted the meaning of what I was saying.
I wrote a little about this at https://honeypot.net/post/ia-presenter-public-launch/

Short version: Presenter turns Markdown into a beautiful presentation, and also to PDF/HTML/Word/etc. handouts if you want. It’s like iA’s Writer in that it makes a lot of decisions for you. I love that because people who are better at design than I am take that off my plate.

I also acknowledge that lots of people would dislike it for that reason: they want to deeply tweak every possible thing to get the end result “just so”. That flexibility in other apps like Keynote and PowerPoint is a drawback for me, though. If my eyes see a configurable option, my brain will insist on messing around with it instead of doing the thing I really want to be doing.

I adore that it comes with a one-time-purchase choice alongside the subscription options. Given the many years of happy use I’ve gotten from iA Writer, this was an instant buy.
We have lots of these cultures around for drug testing. I wonder if the “brain” playing pong affects the tests in any way.

Because "cult" has such a wide range of meaning that I don't know what you refer to?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult doesn't provide any help, that is, I can't find mention of "two kinds of cults", though I can find mention of three kinds:

> Campbell, describing cults as non-traditional religious groups based on belief in a divine element in the individual, brings two major types of such to attention – mystical and instrumental – dividing cults into either occult or metaphysical assembly. There is also a third type, the service-oriented, ...

I don't believe that's at all what you mean.

The Bible contains some pretty age-inappropriate content for elementary school students, right? I mean, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_violence , which requires serious study to comprehend in context. Not something a 3rd grader will know.

When should kids learn that it was once okay to stone an girl who was not a virgin? (Deuteronomy 22:20–21), or in Genesis 19, what the men of Sodom wanted to do the visiting angels, or why Lot offered the men his two virgin daughters instead ('do to them as you please'). Was the violent rape of guests the main problem, or the male homosexuality?

When my family read through the Bible together, when I was about 15 years old, those parts was awkward. Much more awkward than learning Heather Has Two Mommies. Even "Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies" was odd with my mother at the reading.

So, which cult is passing laws to restrict access to "pornographic or indecent" content from of elementary school students? And which cult isn't aware of what's actually in the Bible, so forgot to include a religion exception?

Around year 2009-2010, I worked in public sector in Helsinki in the real estate department. I worked the phone handling tenants calling and needing repairs. A large portion of the tenants were people from the homeless program. At the time I did not know this program was unusual.

My understanding of how it worked was that if you were functional enough and willing, you could walk into a certain building and they'd get you an apartment very quickly, although not sure if on the spot (I didn't work that part, just repairs part). I sometimes moved big bundles of keys for newly vacated or repaired apartments from the real estate building to the social workers in the homeless building they can then give out to new tenants.

I've now lived San Francisco for 5+ years and Helsinki basically does not have homeless people compared to what I've seen here.

I wondered a lot why California seems to be failing at the homeless problem. I see at least one comment here in threads that is saying that homeless are drug addicts and should be forced to go into rehab as a condition to give a home. While I was working for Helsinki I rarely heard anyone suggest the people being given homes needed to pay that back somehow, it was seen as obvious that the main problem is not having a home and the other problems can be dealt with later, and it's inhumane to make demands.

I don't know if "housing first" would actually work in California. Housing is super expensive, and I think California also has a lot more homeless than Finland ever did.

The ex-homeless tenants tended to need more repairs and care. I remember some funny/weird stories like we had a woman who could not use the toilet in her apartment because it was bright green and that caused her panic attacks. And some other tenant who painted literally everything (ceilings, windows, cabinets, furnite, floors, etc.) black.
It's unfortunate. Most of the conversation here is about addicts and the mentally ill and how hard they are to help. Probably because they are the most visible.
Cramming everyone who isn't sober into one facility is a bad idea? No shit, Sherlock!

This is the fundamental reason why democracies often face challenges. For instance, let's consider a country like India, where a significant portion of the population isn't financially well-off. As a result, there is an expectation for government assistance and benefits during each election cycle. Consequently, politicians who promise freebies or welfare programs tend to have a higher likelihood of being elected. This pattern is not unique to India; it can be observed in various other places as well. Even in the United States, which prides itself on its democratic system, the influence of this phenomenon is evident
One of the key concepts is Autopoiesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis) that got applied to social systems by Niklas Luhmann.

Or we could just… choose to house people, regardless of their ability to pay?
I'm glad you brought up Singapore, since they can actually force people with mental health or addiction issues into shelters. Imprisoning people for being mentally ill or addicts is a viable to solution to homeless and it clearly works for Singapore, however this will never happen in the West. For better or worse, individual liberty is sacred in our cultural tradition, and it will never be politically palatable to force people into shelters.
Laws are constrained by what kind of legislation is ethical and practical to enforce.

It cannot come as a surprise to you that lots of efforts go into finding loopholes and technicalities that lets rich people pay much less tax than the lawmakers intended.

The difference is the "spirit" of the law versus its practical application.

The vast majority of those homes are either being actively fixed/waiting for a tenant to move in or are in bumfuck where no one wants to live. If you can convince the homeless on the west coast to move to the vacant places in kansas congratulations, you just won California's governor election. The reality is that there are not nearly enough homes where people want to be. Until you can force the homeless to go to less desirable areas the homes there arent helpful.

Well, IIRC even in the K&R book, a book which many C programmers admire for it's excellent documentation and prose, and rightly so, there is a specific section mentioning that C's declaration syntax has been castigated.

Next, even if C is not a "high level language", which depend on your definition of "high level language", the perks of a proper module system for low level coding cannot go unmentioned.

- Rust, a language that lives in a somewhat similar abstraction and power space as C, has a module system.

- C++, a language that lives closer to C in features, also now, in C++23 I believe, has a module system, and before that, had namespaces.

On implicit conversions, I think having implicit conversions are hard to get right, and I think that C has them is not a feature, but rather a bug.
Languages that have taken some inspirations from C, has chosen usually to do away with implicit conversions, or at the very least, limit their use.

And the array -> pointer in functions, I percieve to be a big mistake, not at the time, perhaps it was not known better ways, but as the years roll by, I think it's a misfeature given the countless exploits that have taken place due to a read past the bounds of an array.

I think C is a good language, but these misfeatures burdens the language in an undue way, and I think a better way to design a language is to be more explicit.
Something like Rust's

unsafe { /* Here be dragons */ }

is better design, in my opinion. I think if you want implicit conversions, there should be an explicit way to declare that you want things to be implicit.

That's just my 2¢
> The only real solution is large scale construction of mixed use housing - some social, some affordable, some private.

It's a LOT more than making affordable housing available. Most homeless where I am have severe mental health problems, drug addictions, or both. Some are also homeless in large part because of criminal records. Many many difficult social problems to fix before it's just a matter of affordability.
Why do you think these are design errors?
