We need to build houses at least as fast as the population grows. Because this has not happened for decades, we need to build houses even faster than that, to clear the backlog. This is not happening.

Meanwhile, no-one will build infrastructure for settlements that do not yet exist, and we consistently elect a party that believes in less, rather than more, infrastructure in general. Rather than an investment, Tories fundamentally see infrastructure spending as an unrecoverable loss.

At least if more housing gets built there will be more people in the area pestering their MPs for solutions to infrastructure problems - perhaps even enough to outnumber the NIMBYs. One can hope.
that's you, asking "are the results of a program that were derived from something gonna be a derivative work?". what is a derivative? what does derived even mean really, right? a program wouldn't be a derivative, results could be, and they're just derived from something. that is just gonna be the chain of processing there. and, well, "is it blue" database might not be a "derivative work" (for legal purposes). but it still could be a "work" that could be protected with a license nonetheless, huh. so, it's not a 'derivative work', but it's a 'work', and it was 'derived' from something. if you're more comfortable, it could be called 'a derived work'. not a derivative work - a very important distinction there.

anyway, that example with "a hypothetical blue program" - isn't gonna map so neatly to 'an image processing program, that takes in images, and spits out images'.
Yeah, I hate this retarded dance of dishonesty and bullshit. It took me a good decade to drill it into my grandparents that NO means NO and I am a grown up man, my word reflects my honest opinion and its not going to change just because you ask 3 more times. Then people wonder why kids are dishonest if they are shown these stupid illogical things from early childhood.

On top of that overeating, overdrinking etc are simply very bad habits that your closest ones drill into you. But once you succeed, world becomes a bit better place for you.

The state does need to make houses to provide for lower paid people who do critical jobs.
The worst part is that all of the new building projects are absolutely terribly built. It has gotten to the point where buying a house that was last worked on 20 years ago is more reliable than a new build, since so many new builds have borderline dangerous mistakes, and also huge illegal corner cuts that the government does nothing about. Not only is the construction bad, but so is the planning. Many of these new builds are completely car dependent with no plan made for access to the town centre or for building local shopping areas
Agree about the supply/demand difference causing the difference but I think your numbers are off. The UK build around 200k new 'dwellings' last year (financial year ending March 2022) according to [1] but I don't know whether that accounts for demolitions.

As I was writing my comment I was picturing this answer, and Socrates strategy for discussion, making others define and define ad infinitum. Fair enough. Quoting you:

> Having said that, a lack of architectural abstractions leads to badly designed code with a WTF count reaching the heavens.

> a lack of architectural abstractions leads to spaghetti code.

> domain logic directly relying on a specific UI framework?

If we are pedantic: lack of architectural abstractions, spaghetti code, and domain logic tied to an UI can also be interpreted as simply bad, so no information in either of our posts :)

Of course, I am joking. Saying that I think leaky abstractions are bad, or you saying that no abstractions are bad is new information (it reduces uncertainty). It tells us that we think that x is bad.

We can agree that bad abstractions are bad. In this thread, abstracting to early, or having leaky abstractions or not having any abstractions are just 3 positions on the topic of what a bad abstraction is.

I bet we could much easier agree with a specific example. In my experience all "big principle" discussions improve when we focus on a specific example. Otherwise people are thinking of different scenarios.

In any case, I can think of scenarios where each of those 3 positions is right, so I do not really disagree with any of them.

Depends on the definition of 'loads'.

Sorry but you don't inspire confidence. Anyone can come up with optimistic numbers.
The housing crisis is universal. There's been growing inability to build in many countries, as the article readily admits. People can't afford homes across the world: USA, Canada, Australia, even China, where supply isn't a problem per se.

The article should then address this global phenomenon rather than conclude it is a "political problem", suggesting it is some kind of peculiar ideology exported out of Britain.
You can train people, at least sane people you actually care about. It takes some time, but unless they are dense as neutron star, they will grok it eventually. Wrap it up in talk about honesty, being a man who talks and thinks straight. Also, this should not be the issue with young folks, only older generations are like that.
Infrastructure isn't perfect, but we talk about housing shortages because people earning double the national average wage rent rooms with other professionals in houses designed for a single family whilst trying to save up double their annual wage for a deposit on a >25 year mortgage on a flat. Whereas for all the UK's infrastructure problems, power brownouts due to lack of generation capability or lack of a local police station aren't really things people suffer from.

Hard to pretend the real problem is the rail network when we have more miles of rail network and fewer houses per person than most of the rest of the world. And the UK talks about its healthcare issues non-stop, but not in the context of housing because it isn't the same problem.

When you consider there are decades of under supply to make up for, this is still a paltry figure.

JSON schema aren't part of the JSON definition, and JSON itself suffers from lacking good handling of types such as dates.

JSON itself succeeds as a way to represent JavaScript objects but it is far less useful than XML for representing custom types, which are easily enforced through XML Schema.

JSON Schema adds some of this, but it isn't a standard (yet).
One word - corruption. Britain builds plenty but not on a social basis. Profit is king. To get planning permission costs money. Appeal committees must be bought. Britain is the most corrupt country not in Europe..

They blatently are food, they are eaten and provide some nutrition. There's a decent amount of evidence they are not good food, however. If you actually stick to the facts and avoid inflammatory rhetorical flourishes you might get more traction.
This is an interesting political trap for the ruling Conservatives that they have made for themselves.

The traditional Conservative voter is a home-owner. So you might be a rabid socialist in your youth, but once you get a job, save up for a deposit, and buy your own home, you eventually transition to become yet another middle-aged Tory voter.

That pipeline is now broken - young people are unable to save up for their own home or get a mortgage, unless they have generational wealth. House rises have risen sharply and wages have remained stagnant, and now we have inflation - for necessities like food and bills - eating into what little people had to begin with.

The solution of course is damn the torpedoes and embark on a massive house-building programme like in the post-war period, but a) the post-Thatcher Conservatives consider that against everything they believe in, and b) current home owners - their ageing voting base - are NIMBYs who don't want the wrong sort of people living near them and any reduction in demand that would reduce their value of their homes (and they're going to need to sell their homes soon, to pay for social and health care in an increasingly threadbare welfare state).

The British press of course likes to blame "woke millenials" or whatever to keep their geriatric readership happy but this is the real reason for the collapse in the Tory vote in the under 50s.
Energy use per capita has dropped because people are using less electricity, and generation has dropped to match. Power systems need to be operated so that demand very closely matched supply from second to second. If people use more, more power can be generated. The grid is not at capacity.

I agree with you that cheap, sustainable power sources need to be found but I’m not quite understanding your argument for why.

Ask HN: How to specialize instead of being a generalist?
I have mostly focused on being a generalist software engineer since that job market is big with lots of options. In my current search, I was highlighting attributes from my experience to try to sell myself as an expert in a specific tech stack. I am curious about this question generally, but the stack is react/redux and performance on the web.

With 10 YOE under my belt, I have heard that you can go into management or become a domain expert. I am interested in finding out how to sell myself and find work as a domain expert.

* How to find companies experiencing pain points in a specific area?
* Do companies look to hire experts? Or do they mostly hire generalists that they then allow to skill-up while on the job in a specific area?
* Has anyone successfully become an expert in a stack and work through consulting and/or hired specifically for that experience?
* Do the maintainers of the open source projects get hired for their expertise on their own open source projects? (The redux maintainers don't even work full time on redux. Mostly at random start ups.)
> a better way to make tea.

'Extracting more beneficial compounds' is not the same thing as a better cup of tea. Microwaved tea is a travesty.

And, to be fair to David Tennant, he didn't brew the tea in a microwave, merely heated it up in one. Which is still horrific, but not quite the atrocity that brewing tea in a microwave would be.

This is nice. I wrote something like this a long time ago and actually used it to run my company for 1.5 years before moving to a web based system. The current code is over here https://github.com/hamon-in/invoice. These were my "features"

1. I used sqlite to handle everything including configuration

2. There was rudimentary templating. You could add a PDF letter head and then create a template using emacs org and it would render it onto the letterhead.

3. I was able to customise it quickly to move from one tax regime to another in India.

4. It would also generate an maintain timesheets (which employees send in as org files).
> I'm american but have been living in Czechia for about 15 years, and I've seen friendships blown up due to shit like "we visited and he didn't even offer us lunch", or "she didn't even offer to pay for lunch".

As a Czech (and a very picky eater who refuses a lot of food offered) I can't really confirm most of what you wrote. Paying for other people's lunch is not really a thing, other than perhaps in the context of a date (where the man is expected to pay).

Food is important mainly in the very old, wartime generation and even there it's mostly in the context of a family.

> Refusing food on a visit is basically equivalent to taking out a gun and shooting the family dog. You're likely to never be invited over again, and people will think you are a complete asshole.

It kind of looks like you've been having a bad time in Czechia, but this is very far from representative.

> There's absolutely no "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd pop in and see what you're up to".

This part is true, but it's IMHO a "global-north-wide" change in the past few decades. It used to be quite normal 30 years ago.
Its incredible to look back at the arguments against XML and XHTML and realise just how poorly thought out they were.

Now, we've wasted the past few decades re-implementing everything that XML provided, but worse, and will spend the next few decades doing that all over again.
> painting military life as cool.

So is the problem you have being the military using sex to sell(or recruit), or that their message is that the military is painted as being cool?
I think the reason why it's not discussed that much is because a lot of software gave up on properly synchronizing changes and go with a "handwaving eventual consistency" approach for a lot of things.

Furthermore decisions about which db is used are rarely driven by the synchronization model. Except maybe sometimes the question "eventual consistency yes/no/a bit only".

And in academia (wrt. common use-cases) we do have a bunch of well analyzed ways to archive synchronization the main question often isn't one of academic research needing to be done but of which model with which parameters and implementation details on top to use for a specific kind of db. Which mainly is discussed by devs when writing new dbs, i.e. not a everyday thing. While for the many new sqlite sync approaches the answers is nearly always "handwaving eventual consistency", cause nothing else would work on the edge anyway.
Hi all!
Over the past 17 months, I have been collecting data on job offers from various job boards such as Glassdoor, LinkedIn, StackOverflow, Dice, and many others. In total, I have gathered approximately 14 million unique job offers for developers. I have written a blog article where I explore this data and rank the top 8 most in-demand programming languages.

Please note that this analysis is based solely on job offers and not on surveys conducted with actual developers! It is an objective study that considers ONLY the job offers that were found.

I hope you find it interesting!
One of my pet peeves is that UK infrastructure focus seems to be about getting people to the centre of London faster, and that just makes the pressure on London greater at excessive costs, and then you start the cycle all over.

You see that even with HS1 and HS2, where instead of focusing on lines towards London it'd have been better to strengthen the triangle of Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, and pour money into effectively creating a bigger "third city". Then maybe link Birmingham, and purposefully delay any links to London.

The problem with linking everything to London is that while it makes it easier to work from further out, it also makes London ever more attractive.

But even on a more local level, I wish instead of spending in the centre of London, focus shifted to bypassing the centre. E.g. I live in Croydon. Croydon has rail towards multiple towns around London, but anything not on the main lines in towards London doesn't have commuter level rail services running on them, or in some cases have no passenger trains at all.

Which means that many towns are easier reached by taking a detour in towards the centre and out again, which again means there's an incentive for businesses etc. to be closer to the centre. Even when in towards the centre and out again would be the shortest route, it might be beneficial to encourage avoiding the busy routes towards the centre.

Which again means that a whole lot of towns where there are town centres that have huge potential for large increases in density, and potential for lower cost upgrades of other infrastructure, without affecting the green belt, but where the demand is not there for that density increase because of the lack of efficient transport.

Addressing the infrastructure problem by upgrading and committing to commuter level services to connect more of these towns together so they form more viable counter-weights to the city centres they are around would make it a lot easier to address the issues you're mentioning at far lower costs than yet another big infra upgrade like HS2 or another line in London.

Successive UK governments seem to have been more focused on retrospectively managing demand surges than planning ahead, and as a result seems to be inducing demand that drives more surges to be managed and ever higher costs.
I would like to combine both in a holistic way.

Microsoft has been doing Microsoft things to boost the Xbox app and game pass. Having a huge back catalog to fill their store gives them a leg up over say, Epic's game store, which also wants to enter the space.

It's a huge hill to climb to catch up to Steam's market share, but we've seen Microsoft leverage Windows to climb similar hills time and time again. The strategy is at least viable enough that Valve has been shaking in their boots for years, trying to build up a war chest of games on Linux. The Steam Deck is a great strategic accomplishment for them.
