Let’s take an inventory of what issues are exclusive to SF:

- zoning restrictions: no
- NIMBYs: no
- too little housing supply: no
- too much housing demand: no
- Prop 13 (1979): no (all of Cali)
- SF rent control (1979) yes
- CEQA (1970+): no
- limited space on a peninsula: yes

I’m glad other jurisdictions are learning from the mistakes of San Francisco, but they should learn from all of them, not just the convenient ones to avoid.
I confess that I don't know that you mean well, sadly.

For one, you haven't established that the majority are not verifiable emergencies. You are asserting that it can't possibly be the case that this is providing real value, as it is.

You also have not established that it causes a substantial increase in costs for most municipalities. Again, quoting how much a search and rescue can cost up to, in a place with many ski resorts, does little to actually convince me of good faith discussions here.

For places that have a convention or festival, I can already assume that they will have an increase in everything because of that. Per this very story, they were emphatically not overwhelmed. It was an increase, and is notable such that it is best if it is addressed.

But I see very little ways of framing the doom and gloom posts here other than FUD.
There is work being done to add user sessions to openrc by some person. It seems pretty cool so far!

I'm not totally sure whether openrc will merge this or not, but I would definitely like to see this be added.

edit: They actually seem to have replied to you while I was writing the original comment.
The problem is that when you convict someone, it's important that you convict him for the correct crime with the correct evidence. Letting him be convicted for threats without having to demonstrate that he meant it, and without other stalking-related evidence, may have caught a stalker. But it would have been bad precedent if you ever told someone on the Internet to FOAD and you got thrown in jail for it.

It's like letting someone out of jail because the police searched him without a warrant. The correct thing to do here is to let the criminal go free; maybe the police will get a warrant next time.

The fact that the ACLU supported the guy should be a sign that something is up other than just catching a stalker.
> Alternative take: the US customary units have stuck around because SI has failed to present itself as better enough to switch.

The thing that doesn't make sense about this argument – the US and the UK are the only major economies which haven't adopted metric for 90%+ of use cases. (Everywhere retains non-metric units in certain exceptional cases – e.g. most countries use feet for altitude in aviation, although that is largely due to the economic influence of the US, and to a lesser extent the UK.) And even the UK uses metric significantly more than the US does, despite the retention of miles for road distances being an obvious holdout.

If your argument really explains why the US hasn't switched, how does it explain the fact that the vast majority of the rest of the world has?
SCAQMD actually does independent field/lab evals of sensors.

I'dsay Airbnb is several orders of magnitude worse because housing stock is generally extremely limited and most places have very low production rates.

Services like Uber have quite a few tangible benefits that put it in another category for me.
Living in a van down by the river? Ha.

It's totally doable. I've met some people living out of their cars and hop into Starbucks or some coffee shop for a few hours to sink wash and work.

I have mobile Internet myself so I am always connected no matter what I'm at.. and I will say it's about 95% available where T-Mobile is. I have a solar panel and a power generator for charges to my laptop. I can't say I've done this full-time or as my lifestyle, but I am currently in the process of renting out three peropeties I own and just temporary living place-to-place wherever I feel like it. I do not have kids and am recently no longer in a relationship.

It really all depends on what your life affords you... you only live once. Live how you want to live and enjoy your life. I personally say GO FOR IT. Try it for a month. If you like it, you found a new way to live minimally. If you don't, you can always return home. Make sure you at least have access to several clean clothes, deoderant, baby wipes/adult wipes, water, and some food.

Depending on where you plan to travel, you may run into some parking restrictions, but for the most part, most places don't care. I know I've slept in a 24/7 Walmart parking lot in Texas and a cop woke me up. I also have heard stories about California no longer letting you sleep near/on the beaches at night though the meters stop around 5 or 6 PM and the cops are more laxadasical when it comes to where you park your car when the meters ain't runnin'. At least from when I traveled cross Cali and slept on a new beach ever night, it was allowed.

One might want to differentiate between loyalty and competency.

Is a highly competent workforce but they're not loyal, better than a very loyal but somewhat incompetent workforce?
Instant deposits usually don't use ACH, but rather debit network rails. These are instant (at least the payment confirmation is, if not the settlement – but that's usually good enough for the use case.

If you can really perform one using your account and routing number, it might also be RTP.
Really depends on what you need, depends on size, team structure, budget, and so many other things.
Looks like the APIs are down too. Clicked several and they are all responding with:

you definitely cannot rely on clocks to determine (reliable) ordering across machines

truetime doesn't provide precise timestamps, each timestamp has a "drift" window

timestamps within the same window have no well-defined order, applications have to take this into account when doing e.g. distributed transactions
I interpret parent's point as doing the SQL level tuning through the ORM's dedicated mechanisms, and not through a raw string.

Any decent ORM has extra procedures to tweak the resulting query and inject optimizations that it can't arrive at automatically, kicking the ORM away every time there's some tweak to do is counterproductive.
Anyone know how trustworthy that data is?

I sometimes check the AirDNA blog and they don’t show a drop like that (overall): https://www.airdna.co/blog/airdna-market-review-us-may-2023
Not for a while now; accountsservice runs fine with cosolekit. I still don't understand why the broader Linux ecosystem burned the better part of a decade on the long-solved problem of "who is logged in to this TTY?", but whatever floats their boat...
Notable omission in the list of common use cases: Online bill payments at the payee's portal, e.g. for utilities or rent. I pay my electricity and gas bill like that.

> Venmo runs on ACH

At least the way I use it, at least the funding side of it (i.e. when I pay somebody) runs on debit card rails. Instant payouts also usually happen that way.
I want a few things for database support libraries:

- Elimination of boilerplate to load data from a table into a type
- A reasonable query mechanism that avoids SQL injection
- A migration tool

Every ORM I've used solves the first problem (for which I'm grateful). Some do the others. Most do way too much more.

I still use an ORM in every non-trivial project because I don't want to do these things by hand. But it could be much better.

Disregard the alcohol, it is secondary to 'rules for thee but not for me'
It’s not that surprising actually, computation moves nothing and all energy has to turn into heat. If computation would use as much energy as moving physical objects, the heat would burn everything down
In ACH, they generally happen together, and with at least a few hours of delay. That's why instant generally usually doesn't use it.
Their website mentions the sensor they use directly on the kits page.

Electric leaf blowers are annoying, but not burning fuel with zero emissions controls such that gas landscaping appliances are, hence bans on the gas versions causing wild amounts of pollution for the amount of fuel burned.

There is a reason combustion vehicles are mandated to have a catalytic converter, and why diesel vehicles must filter particulates.
I know you're just trashing C UB because that's fashionable, but if you really think about it there are two popular options, and you can't have both at the same time:

a) UB enables valuable optimizations and is important to keep (or even add) when performance matters

b) UB makes the language unusable/insecure to anyone but genius level experts and should be avoided

Whenever someone (including famous/relevant people like Dennis Ritchie [0], DJ Bernstein [1], or Linus Torvalds [2]) tries to suggest cleaning up, removing, or simply not adding new cases of undefined behavior in C/C++, the optimization experts come running from the other room screaming about how important it is that "signed integer overflow must be undefined" [3] or else things will run a percent more slowly (signed overflow being just one example of UB). Also there are people who suggest adding new UB to Rust [4].

So really, either Rust is significantly slower than C because Rust doesn't have the UB you're criticizing, or C could be a cleaner language without compromising on speed and the compiler writers and standards committees are wrong. You choose, but both options are considered heresy.

This is a hilarious inversion of the Turing test. It's supposed to be about the computer trying to act as intelligently as a human. Instead, we've got the humans gaming the system by acting as dumb as an AI.
How many cups of coffee does it take to od on caffeine?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say cannabis + driving kills more people per year than caffeine (via overdose or whatever). Therefore cannabis is more dangerous.
Queue as a service supporting delayed messages
Hello folks,
I've created this prototype of a queue as a service. This is all based in REST and supports delayed/scheduled messages. Please if you have interest in this topic please take a look. Feedback is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It's very easy to run incrementality studies and you should be doing this if you are a large company.
What makes it cool, or different?

Superficially/aesthetically at least, it doesn't appear very slick or novel.
I've used ORMs quite a bit and I agree with you, but the advantage for me has been getting the database objects into your application, and to a lesser degree good ORMs providing a schema for other code to integrate with.

It's not super popular but I've been using Scala's Quill quite a bit lately. I don't think it's an ORM exactly, it's more like LINQ and automatic mapping between the database and case classes, but it's really nice and does everything I want from an ORM.
> Then try to run it from the command line. Be told that it "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". This is NOT the "is an app downloaded from the Internet, do you wish to run it?" dialog.

Yes, you get the “developer cannot be verified” error if the code isn’t signed. Which is perfectly fine, I don’t see how this is anti-consumer.

It’s $99 for a code signing cert (per developer account) on macOS/iOS, which I believe is less than what they cost on Windows.

Is this your independent attempt? Because I think RLIBM did the essentially same thing recently [1].

Moving the actual messages is not the hard part, you could always just download them. Figuring out who all has your old email address and trying to update it everywhere is the hard part.
How can Venmo be the one floating anything in GPs scenario when they are the sending entity? If anything, it's the receiving bank that would have to bear the risk of the payment never arriving after being notified about it out-of-band, somehow.

There's no such mechanism that I'm aware of, though – instead instant deposits usually use debit card rails.
Last I heard Meet is dead and there is a new Hangouts which is a rebranded Allo with zombie chunks of Meet, I think?

I feel like every description of Google's chat application strategy ends with the punchline, "The Aristocrats!"
Google maps shows that directly across the street from the library is a Federal building with a lawn and five tents of campers or perhaps homeless people, installed on the sidewalk. I take sacnoradhq's word for it, though you are correct in saying the lawn appears to belong to the Federal building and not the library.

That's the same debate as whether you to hand craft xml files or have a library do it for you. You'd better know in details how the format works, but going through a library will help cover most common issues you wouldn't want to deal with by hand.
I for one an looking forward to the advent of a frontend framework where every endpoint would be handled by a (possibly) handcrafted web assembly module.
I’m on the same version of 1password, probably for similar reasons.

In their iOS app, there’s an entry in Settings -> Security -> Allow Universal Clipboard which lets you opt-in to passwords through the clipboard. I suspect there’s something similar on macOS.

He donated in roughly equal measure to Democrats and Republicans.

But those donations were hidden, he claimed: “Despite Citizens United being literally the highest-profile Supreme Court case of the decade and the thing everyone talks about with campaign finance, for some reason, in practice, no one can possibly fathom the idea that someone actually gave dark. All my Republican donations were dark.”

The reason was cynical, if realistic: “Reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to a Republican,” he told Fong. “They’re all secretly liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight, so I made all the Republican ones dark.”

Most of Name/Label I know, I can't say here, or other places because the terms don't meet community standards... Peons being the least vulgar of them I think of... I am guessing though you mean the Public facing labels though, the company's want as a part of there image... That I imagine changes per company philosphy.
Isn't the root issue, that relational model is superior for the job. And everyone was using it since codd wrote this famous paper in 1970? (I'm not that old btw^^)

And if you would read only the first two pages, you would see that ORM (and also NO-SQL) has some of the problems he describes in systems used prior!! to 1970!!

I think 90% of users must not understand the relational model, because it's impossible, that the other models are the right tool for the job so often.
Very recent example: Instant Brands. Arguably one of the most popular new markets for kitchen appliances in recent memory. Brought electric pressure cookers and countertop convection ovens (ahem air fryers) into the public consciousness in a way no one else has. Purchased by private equity in 2017, now filing for bankruptcy.

You're probably right about big public corporations and institutional investors. But PE firms don't have the the same incentives; their incentive is often to squeeze as much ROI as possible out of the companies they purchase, consequences be damned. You're mostly right though on this part:

> Companies that sacrifice the long term for short term profits have their stocks tank and go out of business.

Or they file for chapter 11 bankruptcy and let someone else pick up the pieces, while destroying a good business and leaving a bunch of people unemployed.
In the world of Java enterprise applications it is not anti-pattern but a best practice. It is not just encouraged but often mandated by Enterprise Architects. At least in my experience of 18 years it brings the developers who are neither good in SQL nor in Java and result in stunningly crappy applications.
Most likely both but considerably more so due to the pressure.

We use the Plantower PMS5003 sensor for PM2.5. This sensor has been extensively tested and is one of the most accurate low cost sensors.

All low cost sensors are using the laser scattering technique and thus do approximate the mass and not a direct measurement.

However tests show that PM2.5 is the most accurate and often PM10 in these sensors is not very good.

You have a source for any of that?

Speaking personally, everyone I’ve spoken to on the matter (myself included) have zero desire to return to a traditional office.
Renters get the same weight of vote as landlords (assuming they both are adult citizens and live in the same jurisdiction). The ballot vote is not what stops developments most of the time (although in affluent suburbs like Cupertino, it frequently does).

The “heckler’s veto” of planning boards and the CEQA are what give the few people who severely want to restrict new development an asymmetric power. This doesn’t happen at the ballot box.

That’s not to say that there aren’t problematic measures. CA Prop 13 (1979) was passed by referendum, but SF Rent Control (1979) was passed by SF Board of Supervisors, so both democracy and republic governments both contributed to the current issues.
> amazing, wonderful, high tech things like electronically pay a friend your part of the dinner check while still sitting at the table.

Arguably, this is the real paradigm shift FedNow will bring, if I understand it correctly: Consumer-initiated push payments to an account number.

For whatever historical, regulatory, or business reasons, US banks generally don't offer this to individual/consumer accountholders, even though it's clearly possible within the ACH framework, unlike most other countries with a developed "traditional" banking system. (In Europe, for example, this is a very common way to pay bills or rent – checks are practically unheard of.)

Electric cars do a lot of regenerative breaking so the brake pads last for thousands and thousands of miles. Even on hybrids it was pretty common for Priuses with 100,000 miles to still be on their factory pads.

Sadly I can't ask the author anymore, I suspect this was a least feature possible stripped down port of a more battle tested cross platform library that dated to before the times of modern multi multi multi core chips.

Concurrency issues existed in the days of yore .. but they arose in different ways with different timings.

It's an odd bit of code archeology recalling a concept ( mmap ring buffers ) from decades past and then hunting to find the best remaining example - much of LibH was 'clean' rewrites of code from the authors past work.

The numbers on these always blow my mind. If I took out a new 30 year mortgage on my house, my payment would be something like $1100.
