It seems to me much more about group incentives than some nefarious lockstep plan. Existing homeowners incentives are liking things as they are and increasing wealth on paper. What’s more interesting is what changed since the ~60s inflection, since before, things were built. People literally experienced NYC grow into a megalopolis. I’d say it’s more likely that more democracy was the problem in stifling things, when every environmental review and city council meeting blocked things and threw out city mayors that were pro building. China is totalitarian and they are the ones who manage to rapidly build cities and bullet trains out of nothing.
Of course @greycharles! We offer tracking Mean time to resolution (MTTR) leveraging integration with your incident management tools like PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Zenduty.

Many people track DORA metrics for their teams using Middleware which consists of Change Failure Rate and MTTR calculated using your incident mgmt tool and deployment tool.

I think in sports we should "call a tomato a fruit" where at work/school/sociallife we should call a tomato a vegetable is the tomato wishes to be called a vegetable. :)

It does not make sense in sports. Otherwise the women's leagues would become trans-leagues.
They actually did.

When OS X was being developed, Apple was unsure about Objective-C potential adoption, so it made Java a tier 1 language, with an Objective-C bridge, just like Swift nowadays.

When it was clear that the Mac OS community, raised in Object Pascal and C++, had no issues with Objective-C, Java Bridge was dropped from OS X, and Apple contributed their JVM implementation to Sun.

I agree on iCloud, which behaves in a very erratic and intransparent way. Don’t rely on it. I use Nextcloud instead and it works much better.
One software that syncs extremely well with iCloud is Obsidian, for reasons unknown (to me).
Half way through and though I’m enjoying it, it’s not super clear at times.

For example: the Flutter example is introduced, then not mentioned for a while, then mentioned again with a specific problem, then ignored again, then used again with some other different problems. I keep getting lost about what we’re actually trying to achieve with it, and sometimes it feels like it’s entirely unnecessary to refer to it.

There are other times where we jump from pretty simple explanations to an intense matrix decomposition. A lot of jargon also gets used that, though previously explained, is used really densely. I feel like keeping the wording simpler would still get the point across.

Other than that, I’m finding it quite useful, and I’m only on page 30/75. Thank you for writing it :)

You can build toilets just like you can homes. Toilets are standard in all homes and office buildings. You still can't build a doctor or a dentist. That takes a lot of hard work from someone who isn't you.
Graph databases excel when you need maximum flexibility and this is when the shape of the graph is constantly changing by adding new, novel, and unexpected data. As soon as you put it behind an application it becomes static and you end up paying a huge price for flexibility that will not be needed or used.

That assumes they'll honour it, either now or in the future.
Also: software (at least the kind of software that results from hype-driven development) is much less dangerous, and there's a lot less that can go wrong if it fails. If you're working on a new kind of process for making some food ingredient you can easily do it wrong and poison someone, so people are naturally more cautious about trying new things. It's the same with software for e.g. nuclear reactors or plane controls, which is why we don't see them being written with microservices and Typescript.

What RFK Jr. Got Wrong
On my reading, the article is explicitly taking into account boys' specific needs. It cites research showing that infant boys are more sensitive. need greater emotional scaffolding, and are more vulnerable to the effects of bullying.

Perhaps you're referring to the line

> Fathers and mothers use far more emotionally rich language with toddler-aged daughters than sons, for instance. Fathers are also more likely to sing to and soothe their toddler daughters at night when they cry.

I interpret this as a call to resist specific gendered parenting behaviours that propagate harmful norms. Not that gender should be excluded from consideration.
Giving up cellphones isn’t as big deal as you’re suggesting. At work and at home you can call or email em, they’re only out of contract for a few hours a day.

To stay. Yes, it's still used. But which new projects are still using XML? Most usage now are remnants from the golden age. Others are old companies who build their culture with XML, and continue to use it, but that's it. XML is not growing anymore, and slowly dying. It's quite like RSS, not dead yet, but not prospering either.
> If we reduce ourselves to a bunch of "computers" there's not much left for the stuff that actually matters, like the actual awesomeness that is having a body, which is highly sensitive and able to experience amazing things.

This does not follow, except for stripping away the religious/spiritual part. Computers are amazing! So is hardware! And so is the dance of software and hardware that makes magic happen.

I've seen nothing so far in this whole thread that would convince me I should stop thinking about my body as the meatsack carrying my brain, as every argument I've read so far triggered my "religious/spiritual mumbo jumbo" detector quite hard.

This is not to say the body isn't an important and tightly integrated part of the experience. But the fact remains that a hand or a heart or a lung can be removed or replaced without loss of self. A brain can't.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if its a modern hoax, especially given the images of European contact. The dating is just based on the types of animals -- is there any science that validates the age? There's also no fossil evidence to support the drawings.

Construction costs are usually less then land acquisition costs. Housing developers are extremely efficient when they are allowed to build hundreds of identical units on a single large parcel. Most of the work can be done by unskilled laborers with artisans only doing the critical bits.

This is probably worth doing, but one should be aware that a typical e-mail address does not contain enough entropy to not be guessable offline.

Perhaps someone should deliberately leek a bogus database that contains the bcrypt hash of davey.jones.490@well-known-email-provider.com and see if that account starts receiving spam ... probably it won't.

There is (almost certainly) no associated e-mail account, but the following is the SHA-256 hash of firstname.lastname.threedigits, something like "davey.jones.490". I'm half-expecting someone to reply with the solution, though I think there are about 36 bits of entropy in my choice:

Eugenics is a vile and repugnant subject to be supporting.

> There's a limited amount of space

So build denser, taller housing. We sprawl massively compared to developments on the continent.

> a non-negligible portion of society are unable to afford market rates

If we increase supply, market rates will fall. That's how markets work.

Therein lies the real problem, of course: real estate investors with existing holdings don't want the rates to fall, and they have influence over how much new stock gets built.

> It was a colossal failure

To be clear, the failure was not in the act of selling itself, but in the decision to not reinvest the proceeds into new housing stock. This is the part that made the housing problem worse instead of better.
It is probably cheaper than the original fine if they had kept the evidence.
> However with parenting we have nothing and the result it seems is we pay with a ton more resources downstream in the way of therapy, detention centers, jails etc.

I think it’s a situation where we can’t stop people from having babies so we don’t even attempt to limit.

There have been attempts to prevent births in “undesirable” populations that people thought weren’t capable of properly raising kids. [0]

But unless we’re going to have a super controlled society with forced birth control and abortion, there’s not a qualification to give birth. And developing nations have really low birth rates so anything to further lower birth rates has some negative societal and economic impact.

That being said, there are many free programs available to parents but they have to reach out to find them. I live in a pretty backwards, relatively speaking, state and there were numerous state, county, charity, and religious programs to help with parenting coaching before and after birth.

It does seem like a good idea to add coaching into the maternal health programs to give more education and support to expecting and new parents.

Don't know about others, but European car manufacturers are under strict regulations and try their damn best to not record anything as it immediately becomes a liability.

Edit: I know at least a few companies have a test vehicle program that operates under different rules, but those are not sold to general public. So the company receive high quality data without getting into trouble with GDPR.

It's an interesting observation. I'm part of a few UK and Canadian regional subreddits, and the topics of conversation are often very similar. House prices are too high, we need to build more, the government is favouring boomers, the economy is stagnating, we need more manufacturing and less real estate speculation etc. What's particularly interesting is that often in the UK ones people paint Canada as being far better. The Canadian ones seem to idolise the US.

It's clearly a global structural issue. Low interest rates are a pan-national commonality - and they can take a lot of blame for part of the situation we're in now. But they don't explain housing shortages.

Population growth probably plays a big part - housing is always going to be lagging population growth. The various stories I've seen about Japan - with low rents, falling house prices and large numbers of abandoned houses - seem to map with the falling Japanese population. "Things were better in the 70s/80s/90s" probably partly just means that the ratio of houses to people was better. The population of most major western cities was falling or flat through much of the 70s and 80s - leading to the situation where my parent's generation all seem to have snapped up large, well located houses for not very much money.

I'm fully supportive of the idea that, with all things equal, if we build more houses then supply and demand will drop prices. But if you allow unchecked population growth (which in the UK and Canada seems to be primarily caused by immigration) then the amount of building required is effectively infinite.

I've visited the Toronto area from the UK more or less every year since I was a child, and the overwhelming story is one of huge development. The change in the suburbs of Toronto over the past 30 years has been vast and unlike anything I've seen in the UK. Yet that clearly hasn't been enough to stop house prices going crazy as well. The net effect, though, is that there's miles and miles of sprawl and 6 lane streets dominated by cars. The answer definitely isn't to build more of that. The population of Canada has grown by 40% in the last 30 years.

Population growth combined with an ageing population and the kind of rights purchasing a house gives you in the west create increasing inequality driven by land. That seems to be the underlying issue that's driving city house values up everywhere.

There are possibly some answers. In the UK in the 60s-80s we built entire new cities, with the land purchased by the government at agricultural value so that the entire uplift was captured by the developers rather than speculators.

Sure we can. But many of the younger people most negatively impacted by housing policy don't bother to vote at all. Or if they do vote they do so based on social issues. I've never seen housing availability come up as the #1 issue in any voter survey.
I’m reminded of a general trend I heard of from sociology decades ago-societies birthed around plenty of water tend to be more sexually liberal than those from dryer places. The US is somewhat a mix of that while UA seems to have consistent water access.

Are people as glued to social media in EE as they are in the US? Have they had a #metoo movement? How about religious zealots?

Granted, in UA it goes a long way to face your own existence in war to clear the mind of certain topics.

I’m guessing though there’s some event UA has or hasn’t experienced that helps explain the difference-possibly many. US contends with a lot of guilt around the past as something like societal psychological trauma. Guilt and sexual repression are bigger in the US than elsewhere.

Edit-note, the metoo movement had a strong legal component replete with legal, criminal consequences. That would tend to compound the effects, yes?

I automated my accident
After a lot of back and forth I went with a simple syncthing everywhere. Lightweight, no server, easy to use, all files are replicated. It sounds like I'd need a lot of storage space but it's not that much and in the end it forces me to think about whether everything is worth remembering. "Losing" data that turned out to not be that important definitively lifts a weight off your shoulders
It's really hard to be emotionally invested when you're totally absent from most of their lives, though. It doesn't work the other way, i.e. it won't fix a bad father, but there are plenty of guys who could do better by literally just showing up.
I think a society would have better outcomes by teaching young people the consequences to their lives of having children, such as time and financial costs. In one of the classes in my high school, students had to carry around a sack of flour for a week without damaging it.

Considering that the Zig Software Foundation not only doesn't have any big corporate backing, but also made an explicit point of always being fully independent, and the fact that we're overall doing fine, I beg to disagree.

Big tech wants you to think that you're nothing without them, while in truth there are plenty of situations where small realities can absolutely out-compete them:

The different houses has different views. Bobo Ashanti are bigots and racists. Others are internationalist with a strong focus on the on the universal bond between all people. Its an extremely diverse group with very flat leadership. There are even rastas that claim to be atheist and rasta at the same time.
Its all about consideration for the audience. Those most lured by hype tend to be those least qualified and concerned with doing the work to validate such hype. That means you have a ready audience of low hanging fruit ready to consume shiny new things if the selling point is easiness.

When improving things leaders, actual leaders who know how to lead, invest in process. Individual contributors looking for to improve things with easy invest in product hype. The difference is striking.
I don't know - I think somebody needs to name the bubble of conceit that came into the world when photography was invented, since that created a philosophical issue, rather than a resolution issue. We went from an implicit understanding that newspaper engravings were 'representational' to a blind belief that photographs were records of the real world, notwithstanding that they were being manipulated and selectively used (first for amusement, later for propaganda, etc.) right from the start. Until we name it, the distinction between porn pencil drawings and photorealistic depictions doesn't have any supporting and exclusive definitions and terminology.
COM is great as idea.

Unfortunately WinDev is so siloed into their way of thinking that never managed to create productive tooling.

The exceptions being VB 6, .NET Native and C++/CX.

It is somehow tragic that Delphi and C++ Builder are the most long lived toolchains that offer usable productivity with COM, and Microsoft itself is unable to keep productive tooling for COM going.
This is the same reasoning as to why an inmate cannot meaningfully consent to sex with guards/admin. They may very well be making a rational choice that in any other circumstance would be fine, but its too easy to abuse and would be impossible to properly implement.

But with a corporation all they can do is fine, so it just becomes a cost of business :(
All the more reason for you to keep the user in mind while you wade through the crud.
Let's flip this around: once you learn to drive, and then drive enough for it to become something you do unconsciously, is the car now part of "you" too?

If not, then I wouldn't use the embodiment/integration argument to define where "you" is, as the brain can learn to turn just about anything into extra limbs or senses, if you use it frequently enough.
9:27 assumes i

a) have any clue what time it is now
b) assumes that an arbitrary time designation is more important to me than the relative distance.

When talking about stuff today, as a general statement "a" is almost always false for me and "b" is false nearly 100% of the time.

I don't care that it was at 9:27am I care how long ago it was. "Was this the thing i just attempted or the prior attempt?" "did this happen before or after that conversation we had like 20 minutes ago?"

"a" means i have to do an additional lookup. It doesn't matter that it's easy, it's an additional lookup. "b" means that i also have to do math, and i have a really really hard time with mental math (dyscalculia is a real thing).

and, as others have pointed out. Time zones suck. I'm constantly coming up against UIs that refuse to tell me the time in my time zone when i need it, or in "their" time zone when I need it.

"is that actually their 9:27 am, and thus my 2:27pm or is it _my_ 9:27am?" is the type of question I'm constantly asking. And then it's followed by "oh but [person x] is in a time zone one hour off so really that would be ...8:27 or 1:27?"
The headline doesn't seem to match the content. There's nothing in the article text about this making "criticism" illegal.

Based on a quick scan, I'm not convinced that the draft bill text matches the article text either, and the blatantly sensationalist headline makes it kind of hard to trust them to be honest about summarizing that text.
Yea, it’s definitely about trading features for simplicity.
Nope. Sky rocketing would mean that the numbers were low previously and are increasing now. Birth rates are still high in a small number of countries but even there they're lower than they were in the 60s.
