I have a hard time understanding your point.

Are you saying that being a free search engine for webpages makes you part of the surveillance industry, but People Finder et. al., that charge money for the express purpose of letting you snoop on other people aren't?

My point isn't that we should make it illegal for people to be identifiable in public. My point is that instead of making it illegal for Google to index People Finder, it would be more logical to make People Finder illegal.
Being a landlord is a full time job. You’re essentially on call 24/7 or you have to pay someone else to do it out of your relatively thin margins.

> nobody in Accounting or HR is working 12 hour days on the routine

Do you know anybody in Accounting? Quarter end closing is a lot of work that can't be done until after the end of the quarter and must be done within a small amount of time. Public accountants suddently get an awful lot of work come the ides of March when everyone realizes their taxes are due in a month. And another bunch when the extension filers all come back when the real due date hits.

Not if their first impulse is to sell it and then build a house. Now we have two houses, which does what to the price? Oh, makes it go down. And if they're building a house, their voting and lobbying at least for a few years will be in line with keeping construction costs down.
I read it that way! :)
I think that one of the core tenets of our way of governing today is that the ruler must be held to the same laws that the ruled are held to, and I'm not so quick to abandon that tenet. You feel free to let them slide for whatever reason motivates you to do so. As long as they can fly a drone over my house to see what I'm up to I will continue to cheer on people that do the same to them.
Sure, a single person can have multiple roles in the system. But this line:

> Owners expect (and bank on) the value of their house increasing faster than inflation.

may be true for an owner-occupier for whom price appreciation is the only way they can treat their house as an investment, but it’s not at all true for someone receiving monthly rents that exceed their costs. It’s like comparing the prices of two stocks while ignoring the large dividend payments paid by one of them.

Perhaps wall color makes the doctor thinks you're sicker than you actually are.
The sicker you look, the stronger medicine they want to give you. Always made me wonder how many people would have recovered naturally. And adding a strong medicine with potential dangerous side effects into the mix, must be killing a substantial number of people that would have recovered on their own without it.
Like how many people put on the ventilators would have been better off without them, for example.
I agree it would be hard to enforce. That doesn't mean we shouldn't make it illegal to host the content though. We could make it illegal to host the content and ask Google to delist it. Asking Google to delist it without making the content illegal doesn't make that much sense to me.
Thank you for sharing this. It inspired me to not worry about whether content already exists or not, we can surely write once again in our way again.

Earlier than this post, my thought was that "What value can I add by writing about git? Theres already tons of articles for that."

Seeing this post from Redhat, motivated me to write whatever I feel like writing, even if it has been written before.

True, but what about running Firefox natively, without the sandbox?
If you’re interested in why housing is so expensive when there is so much land – and what to do about it –, you should read about Land Value Tax/Georgism.

I recommend the writings of Lars Doucet: http://gameofrent.com/
You forgot to account for 2 things:

1) population growth. If population grows faster than the housing, you would expect house prices to go up.

2) limited amount of land, especially in places where people want to live
> Housing cannot simultaneously be affordable if it is also supposed to increase in value endlessly. Someone has to lose.

It can if density increases too.

Existing home increases in price, but new homes being built are single-family homes torn down and replaced with 4-plexes, which are then replaced with apartment buildings in turn. Thus SFH price increases over inflation, “housing” price doesn’t have to, because new options are less pricy.

> Renters want housing to remain affordable and to increase no faster than inflation.

> Owners expect (and bank on) the value of their house increasing faster than inflation.

Also: in many hot markets it costs more to buy than to rent, sometimes by 2x or more. Rental and owned stock are not always the same markets, not always the same housing even though it seems like they “have to be”.
Fact check: Canada does indeed have one of the highest immigration rates, accepting 4x more migrants per capita than the US. 26.4% of Canada's population are first-generation immigrants. This is followed by 17.6% who are second-generation and 56.9% who are third-generation or more.
And millennials are majority owners now.

The timbre of piano strings is an interesting subject, but to my ear honestly the sound isn’t that much different in this example.
It’s getting late and I’m not 100% confident I’m sure what you’re asking, but I believe the answer to your question is yes. When you produce a message/batch you get back offsets for each message you produced. If you produce again after receiving that acknowledgement, the next set of offsets you receive are guaranteed to be larger than any of the offsets you received from your previous request.
We had some gitstart PRs against Cypress. The code and quality was generally fine. It was mostly low value issues getting fixed, where having a highly paid senior engineer fix just doesn't make sense.

I think the quality of the PRs was fine, I cannot say much about the business model / pricing since we got them for free (out of nowhere - they just started making PRs - much appreciated!)

As my original comment said very clearly, I am aware that you can run Firefox on ChromeOS today. That's not what I'm talking about.

> This, however, would require a lot of changes in chromeOS itself that Google won't do

Lacros is exactly those changes, though. That's my point. Google already did the work to add all the integration points you need to integrate a browser into the OS.
I strongly suggest switching to pipewire instead of pulseaudio. Most big distros are already switching; pipewire is newer but already more mature/stable.
Available but still far from common. I don't have one and most of my peers don't either.
Yes, it is also a really good painting - see for example „The Story of Art“ by E. H. Gombrich for an in-depth appreciation.
We already have these things and it hasn't done any good. Housing is still treated as an investment (these new growing markets sound like an opportunity) and it gets passed down to the renters.

Really though this is true of basically everything in our society, the lower classes essentially subsidize the higher classes. Below the lowest classes in North America are the poor of the rest of the world who are left with almost nothing.
> Context is critical. Unless you're a beginner with the language, surprise in a production codebase is horrifying.

Why? Are you assuming a very particular kind of surprise here?

"Oh, I can replace these five lines with a single builtin." is a surprise, and so is seeing that someone else already did so.
I love Phind, I use it daily.
git pull with fast-forward (--ff-only) is the only sane way to use git pull (if one must use git pull).

The most powerful one most people don’t use is reset. Soft and hard resets are my bread and butter. I don’t even bother with interactive rebases for squashing. I do a soft reset against origin/<branch> and create a new commit.
Last time I've tried it wants you to register and/or login, it sometimes loses the meeting in the process, you then are left with an application that tries to be Slack and you try to find the meeting in the app again, if you logged in to a different account than the invite to the meeting it gets lost etc.

But it might be different today, for those problems I try to not use Teams for some time.

Also if you use Teams all the time the experience might be different.
Fetch means “safely fetch new data from one of your remotes without affecting any of your local work”.

Pull means “do what fetch does, but with the spicy bonus risk that your precious work will be modified in an unexpected way depending on when and how you checked out the branch you’re on, what version of git you are using, and what config options you have set.”
Notice from the definition of `Term`

enum Term {
Bool(bool),
Not(Box<Term>),
...
}

that your code simply does not typecheck.
`Not` expects a `Box<Term>`, not a `Value`.

It's also worth noting that one would probably want to consider something like

Not(Not(Bool(true)))

a valid term, which your implementation wouldn't.
> Housing increases in value over time; someone holding on to an empty apartment in Vancouver is making lots of money in absolute terms, even if comparatively less money than if the apartment were rented. When a new tenant agrees to pay a higher rent for years to come, the waiting pays itself off in a few months, and the rest is profit.

This doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny. According to https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/vancouver-bc, "As of August 2023, the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Vancouver, BC is $2,800"

So let's pick a median apartment but an owner who thinks they can wait out a higher rent. What extra revenue do we believe is reasonable for them to hold out for? Let's be EXTREMELY generous and say they want to hold out to get $3200.

The maximum legal rent increase in BC is 2%/year. On a 5 year timeline, the baseline is 2800+2856+2913+2971+3030=14,570. If they somehow get $3,200, that's instead 3464+3396+3329+3264+3200=$16,653. A difference of 2083$!

Wow, 2 thousand dollars, that's a lot of......wait, no that's literally less than ONE month of rent revenue. Holding out for even ONE month and having the unit unoccupied erases ANY possible benefits from the extra rent.

I really really liked everything else about this article. But this super fundamental mistake makes me question the credibility of the author :/

I find the argument that we shouldn't increase housing supply to make housing more affordable laughable.
Just curious about this because I’ve never had any direct experience. All of my uses of any version control (save very early work with RCS) has been to a central server.

But “distributed” must mean something other than that, especially how git is presented (i.e. technically there is no center).

So, do folks doing distributed development routinely push changes in a peer to peer fashion? Alice, Bob, and Charlene are collaborating with Alice and Bob working on one feature while Alice and Charlene work on another, pushing incremental changes to each other but only sending the completed feature/branch to their non-collaborating peers when they’re complete.

Does that happen often or is it just the “commit early, commit often to the local copy” that distributed devs are really using? “I can edit on a plane” scenarios.
> boomers have never experienced what it’s like to be told just do X, Y, and Z and you’ll be all set only to come out 1/10th what their parents were able to accomplish

Neither have millennials. The class of millenials doing worse than similarly situated members of previous generations (and still by far less of a margin than your hyperbolic 1/10th as well) are largely men without a college degree – overall, millenials are only slightly below the performance of earlier generations at similar ages, but the education gap in economic performance has widened and the gender gap narrowed.
Somewhere inside Google:

"What if -- and stay with me here lads, this is a doozy of a brainwave -- what if we shipped ChromeOS as like a regular OS, a regular Linux distribution, with Chrome on top as an app?"
Generated samples are too small and powder-like to test for that without a lot of difficulties.

Note: I'm not a physicist. Just my understanding from reading.
Fetch updates your local repository (which is behind the scenes, separate from your literal local files).

Checkout modifies local files to be like whatever you’re checking out.

And pull’s only purpose is to screw up your local files. :)
Sheldon's site was hugely influential back in the day. Maybe even more so than the Park blue book.

You could find answers you didn't know to questions you didn't know to ask for hours and hours. And then some tangent about French derailleurs, besides.

I still have tools color-coded Sheldon's way.
It's possible to run a virtual machine on ChromeOS, and within that virtual machine it's possible to run Firefox. This is not the same as running Firefox. A ton of things (like drag and drop, video calls, and some aspects of rendering) are subtly broken. There is no hardware acceleration. Performance is atrocious; expect 15 FPS video maximum. There is a separation between Firefox and the rest of the system, with two filesystems and links opening in the wrong software. Accessing any hardware peripherals such as security keys, cameras, or microphones is unreliable at best.

To anyone who has never had the misfortune of using a Chromebook: this stuff works terribly. Don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise.

(I think it's actually a container rather than a virtual machine.)
This actually reminds me of sound on Linux too. I'm running a bleeding edge Tumbleweed on my laptop and Home Cinema. I now have to occasionally tweak ALSA, PulseAudio and PipeWire stuff. I know that by installing pipewire-pulse, I'm actually using PipeWire, but since it still relies on a heap of PulseAudio conf files and command line utilities, it feels like they've added one more thing to be confused about rather than simplifying the setup. Just try to figure out how to upmix stereo to 5.1 with an LFE channel to your subwoofer. Do you use the (now renamed) lfe options in pulse daemon.conf, some pipewire conf, or the extremely arcane ALSA ttable mappings? There has never been a decent GUI for handling audio in Linux. Sometimes I wonder if I should also install Jack to see if that complicates it more or simplifies it.
Except the telemetry service was moved into the drivers in 2016, and isn’t a part of GFE any more.

I came to exactly the same conclusion when looking at a far worse housing market (Australia). Promoting housing as a vehicle for middle class wealth creation will soon be viewed as one of the stupidest economic policies ever pursued by democratic countries. It's unsustainable for the exact reasons you laid out.

I do wonder if a handful of countries (Canada and Australia in particular) are going to suffer drawn-out stagflation, since incomes need to increase to account for increased housing costs, but homeowners won't vote for anything that will temper their investments, so the cycle continues until demographics swing the voter base in favour of non-homeowners.

> To solve the housing crisis, Americans need to be deprogrammed out of this belief that owning a home is supposed to yield a return.

It's not about programming or entitlement.

It's because there is literally no other social safety net. Even here in Canada, where we laud our healthcare to Americans (despite it's massive flaws), there is no social safety net for retirement.

For a substantial percentage of north american homeowners, the expectation is you hold on to your home, downsize when you retire, and live off the difference until you die.

This needs to be fixed if we otherwise break this fundamental ssumption.

> How would you feel, if you were an author, and people openly advocated piracy, such that you were deprived of sales, and earning an honest living?

The vast majority of reputable studies on software/music/games piracy have found that piracy boosts sales, and significantly. This is why you seldom see these studies, because the powers that be don't want you to know that.

A few breakout songs in the early 00s wouldn't have even made the top 100 if it weren't for limewire (laffy taffy being a prime example) and there were a number of artists at the time who intentionally capitalized on this.

So yes in 20 years when I settle down and write a book about the rust community and my wild ride through the startup world, I'll probably upload the torrents myself because I know it will boost sales.

Just like Adobe was caught doing back in the early 2000s (though if you try to google it now the news articles are mysteriously scrubbed from the internet). That's right, there is a good chance at least one of the Photoshop CS4 torrents you downloaded as a wee lad was uploaded by a marketing team at Adobe. They were caught red-handed doing this and it wasn't just some rogue employee.

And if you think about it, it was absolutely brilliant. The script kiddies grow up using pirated photoshop, get into a work situation where they or their company can actually afford it, and presto now you have a customer with a lifetime of lock-in to your ecosystem and guilt for not paying for it all these years.
This question has been asked with near identical or very similar wording in almost every LK-99 submission I've seen over the last week or so... Is there something botnet-y happening? I find it hard to believe anyone reading similar threads could have missed the numerous answers to this and similarly-formed questions that have been offered lately.
Yes, I am aware of that.

But my argument was meant in a different direction: ogonek is present in two official languages of the European Union, while "ij" is present in only one; still, "ij" got a dedicated key. That, alone, would be sufficient to state it is under-representing European languages.

Then, for shocking comparison, I used population, which, obviously, has Polish as the biggest contributor. Still, 48 million is twice the amount of speakers that might ever use "ij" (estimated in 24 million worldwide), so I think the point is still valid.

Besides, the keyboard layout is also advertised as meant for translators, and Lithuanian is special in this sense: as one of the oldest Indo-European language still in use, and considered by many the most conservative one, it is of interest for linguistic studies, which includes translation.

When you ponder the abstraction upon abstraction that a true "full stack" view of computation entails it induces vertigo.

While somehow it "all works" in the end it is retains the sense of miracle associated with any sufficiently complex engineering.

But I wonder to what extend the complexity and difficulty of redesigning this early layer to meet evolving computational needs is what creates the current sense of stagnation.
Yeah the ads have gotten insane. The site didn’t used to be like this. Now I get dedicated ad-pages when I click a link, and I have to click through to continue to the page I was trying to get to. That’s… excessive.

A banner ad at the top of each page should be more than enough to fund a static site like this (with extra for the authors efforts).
