Someone has to own it if people are renting it, and renting provides a valuable use case in the economy and makes places to live accessible to young people, poor people, etc.

Renting is good - and requires the type of economic activity you would want banned.

> Housing should be consumption, not an investment,

Housing should be subject to market forces so housing developers can get signals about price. If people anticipate demand for homes is going to increase and start buying homes in anticipation of that (speculating), if we didn't have our stupid zoning laws, homebuilders would be able to build more homes and resolve the demand imbalance before it happened. This is a good thing. The problem is our stupid zoning laws, NIMBYism, etc.

Show HN: VisionScript, abstract programming language for computer vision
Hello! I'm James and I am working on VisionScript. With VisionScript, I want to empower people -- including everyone without any prior programming experience -- to build cool apps with vision.

This weekend, I recorded a demo for VisionScript, in which I made apps that count how many cats are in an image and hides people in a video. Each app was < 10 lines of code.

https://vimeo.com/856043804

VisionScript is built for the 10 year old inside of me who would have loved more visual programming languages with which to play. I want to show people the potential of programming and how you can make what you want with computers, whether it be a game that counts cats or an app that monitors how many birds flew past a tree. Those "wow" moments should come as soon as possible in one's learning experience.

VisionScript is in active development. I started work on this project in July. There will likely be bugs; this is a passion project. Inspiration comes from Wolfram and Python. Behind the scenes, I am adopting what I am calling "lexical inference", which is to say there is a last state value on which functions infer; the language manages types and state.
This comes up so much it's like a pathological condition. If the voting population want's more houses the solution is not to tax people out of their homes - that just swaps house occupants - the solution is to build more houses. There is plenty of land and room to do this, but the GOVERNMENT - again the ~GOVERNMENT~ implements restrictions on the building process. The restrictions are so onerous in CA that new properties are expensive. You want more houses, scale back the government control over building and building costs. Easy.

Can't you just mute it and continue using the software without worries?
Ironically, rent seeking by the registrars reduces rent seeking by speculators, so more domains remain available for the people who want to use actually use them.
Another side effect: the wealth will be concentrated in rich tax-avoiding corporations and elites, meaning that the tax burden for society will fall even harder on the remaining middle and working classes, who will have to pay for the upkeep of everything.
The problem is that felony DUI (as opposed to lesser charges) is also about (a) a serious incident happening while you're intoxicated (chance) and (b) government prosecution discretion (serious bias).

That's an awful lots of "if"s to attach to a lifelong limitation.

F.ex. Do we all want to bet how often politician and wealthy donors' children take a felony DUI charge vs the general populace?

Thanks! I’ve read reports online about bamboo growing in North America, and didn’t know if it was actual bamboo or the knotweed we have growing in our parts.

It’s coming from our neighbour’s yard who seem to have taken a laissez-faire approach to their yard management.

We’re extremely careful not to let it fracture since, as you know, that spurs additional growth. In the hard to reach parts behind the shed, I did put down landscaping fabric with rocks over it.

After being diligent with new shoots in the early spring, it slows down significantly come the summer and fall.

> including ignoring any of the output from using the tool if you so chose to.

the user isn't merely ignoring the output though, they are actively interacting with the program in a way that the program is presenting as accepting of the agreement being presented to the user.

the agreement is plainly presented in a way that implies that it's an obligation, like any other clickwrap agreement. and everyone except ole and stallman seems to agree that it's self-evidently apparent that it's a clickwrap agreement restricting the freedoms of the user.

"free software that only prints a message and exits unless you agree to a clickwrap with further licensing terms" is not a road that FSF should go down. And it's only because of the GPL severability clause that it's not a crisis, everyone knows it's a farce, except for a bunch of the users, who are affirmatively taking action to indicate consent with an additional licensing agreement.

it's not facially clear that in most jurisdictions that the clickwrap agreement is null and void merely because the software is free. you can end up paying for lots of free stuff in life if you're not careful. you agreed to the agreement, it's on you.

you are of course free to remove the prompt and use the software yourself, and ole rants and raves about that on his website. but, agreeing to the license is a separate thing from the GPL license, most likely. just like paying for credit monitoring is different from getting your free credit reports or freezes - they'll try and railroad you into paying, definitely! and just because it's supposed to be free, doesn't mean you're not getting charged if you agree to it!
Two of the researchers datasets were from 2012-2016 and 2018-2019, I can't find the full text of the third study with 171 participants. Likely pre-tiktok.

What's real interesting is their 2021 paper, showing the effect is mediated by high-self esteem (as measured by the 7 Item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8474231/

Researcher goes along with this insane press release that does not mention self-esteem mediating it, why? Because they have an agenda.

If you want to figure it out, follow the money. Who is funding their research? I would not be terribly surprised to find a pharma pipeline with a drug that reduces c-reactive protein. Social media addiction isn't in the DSM-5 yet, but once it is you know there's a market for a drug to address it.
I'm saying take it easy on Namecheap because it's out of their control, and would have happened regardless of the registrar you used for that particular domain. The incompetence is on the part of the registry, for not having properly identified the given domain as premium until post-registration.
I used to purchase mp3s from Amazon, and there was one song that had a glitch in it, like it was a bad rip. I always wondered if they were using pirated copies as well. I just re-downloaded for fun and the glitch is still there.
It's heartbreaking to read! :( But thanks for sharing it. It's also a terrific reminder to those of us who are still "able" yet are dissatisfied with our lives for a variety of foolish reasons. And a good reminder that our lives may be turned upside down in an instant. I respect how you dealt with it while still enjoying life. Also good to hear that your girlfriend still loves and supports you. I wish you all the best!
That could be improved if:

1. Software is coded to recognize "stupid example values" and prohibit them with an error or at least throw some pretty obvious warnings.

2. Such software also has a rarely-used but documented option to bypass the above checks.

For example, the PostgreSQL server might refuse to allow any DB user to have a password which begins with "password", returning a "Pick A Real One" error.

However somebody somewhere will always need the "don't do that" option: The more different libraries and services you bring together, the more likely there will be either false-alarms or outright conflicts between different example-blocker schemes.

>> I tell you I have two children and that I’ve just sent you an email with the sex of (at least) one of them, and ask you what you think is the probability that I have one boy and one girl.

> 1/2

So you say it's 1/2 even though you know that as soon as you read the message you will update it to 2/3. Is that right?

The message says that (at least) one of them is a girl or that (at least) one of them is a boy. In either case, you state that the correct probability is 2/3.

Why not say 2/3 already then?

Backpacking in groups, like the sibling comment said - probably pretty pointless for a quick day hike, but quite nice if you're on a weeklong expedition where folks want to make little side jaunts without dragging the whole group along. I think one thing people don't appreciate is the realtime nature of radios - if someone in my group is off doing stuff, I need to actually pay attention to my radio to make sure I don't miss them trying to reach me. With Meshtastic, I just need to check my phone once in a while - the message will be there.

Similar usecase for overlanding: we also use several different types of voice radio, but an arrow on a map is significantly nicer than "*psssh* crackle we're somewhe...? past the 29?4 crackle turnoff fades out". Being able to mount a fuckoffhuge omni on a vehicle also helps with functional range.

I've also done the backhaul to cellular connectivity thing. Definitely fun but replicable with an inReach.
Big corps don't own large swathes of single family homes by any reasonable definition of 'large swathes'.

I don't agree it is an apriori bad or a cause of the housing crisis - in many markets these are the only people fixing up dilapidated homes and the only people putting rentals on the market - both of which are valuable services.
Is there a TLD that has a reasonable chance to stay low cost?

I just want a domain for hobby projects and I don’t really care which TLD as long as it’s short, but I don’t like having to guess which TLDs are trying to lure people with low prices, only to suddenly raise prices in the future (I’ve seen this happen a few times).

I’d also like to use a TLD that is unlikely to be bought by private equity (I vaguely recall this being attempted with a popular TLD; edit: it was .org, but the purchase got blocked after an outcry).

I just heard that .tk allows free registration, so that seems promising, but I doubt it will last since there are real costs involved.

For now, I’m sticking with .com because it’s the most popular and I’m hoping that, as such, price hikes will cause enough outrage to be addressed eventually, but I’m hoping there’s a better option!

As a Thai, I’m somewhat proud to see that our gramma is quite simple, i.e. no tenses and genders, etc. These extra structures are superfluous if you think about it. This makes it easy for beginners to start forming simple sentences. However, the complexity gets pushed to the vocabulary. It tends to have different words that mean the same thing, but with differing levels of, say politeness. Not to mention a whole ton of slang and double meanings.
Yes. The GPL explicitly says this about "further restrictions":

> If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

However, this doesn't really even come into play because the citation request is not a restriction on the license. It's not anything. As far as the GPL is concerned, it's just some code, and the GPL grants you the right to redistribute modified copies.

And by renaming it to "free-parallel" you have respected the author's trademark. You can absolutely do this, at the cost of the author being upset at you. They might get upset that "free-parallel" is too close to their "GNU Parallel" trademark but I (IANAL) don't think they'd be legally right about that. GNU Parallel coexists with other software called "parallel".
Ah yes, didn't read far enough upthread.

Of course, this isn't new. Tim O'Reilly said something similar in the context of book publishing probably getting on to 20 years ago at this point.

> The dogs we had which we didn't do dental cleanings, their mouths were often in pretty rough shape by the end of their lives. Even with us trying to brush on regular schedules and giving good feeding, our geriatric dogs would often end up with lots of bad teeth in the final years of their lives. Meanwhile the dogs we've had which we've done yearly cleanings pretty much never had oral issues throughout their lives even well into very old age. Just my own personal anecdotes, but unless I see something reputable to change my mind I'll probably continue on yearly-ish cleanings.

Yes, there's a chance for dental infections migrating into the bloodstream and that leads to all kinds of complications. But here's the thing, anesthesia-based dental cleaning for pets should be based on need. Dogs are individuals. Especially the active chewers with healthy mixed breed backgrounds can be just fine without dental work -- just like I'm a middle-aged man with no cavities, an individual not an average. On the other end, Chihuahuas and many stubby-nosed breeds are notorious for bad teeth and needing teeth pulled out.

I don't think anyone (informed) is saying no dog ever should get major dental work.

What greed is doing here is trying to lower the threshold, make the pets that don't necessarily need the service at the moment / as often to go through the procedure.
I have the HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS options set on zsh. I only need a history of what commands I have run, the order isn't important to me. Having the history be a unique set of commands makes it easier to dig through.
I am sure they are, but with the options built up during the globalization it will be much, much harder than in Argentina (Cuba, Soviet Union, etc.) in the last century. Not impossible, but very hard.

Also, after three decades of globalization currency controls will hit virtually every business, so this will likely be broadly unpopular. Again, not impossible, but I personally view it as very unlikely without dictatorial powers held by one, or a very few, strong individuals. But we shall see...
This is nonsense. There is massive innovation in America:

You're just explaining what a CLA does. There's pros and cons toward one. I for one don't see the problem. Yes, the maintainers retain control, and that can be good or bad. But contributors getting a portion of control can also be good or bad.

One way is not strictly better or worse than the other. But if a project that has a CLA also has a currently permissive license, then take the supposedly open source route and fork it.

Namecheap's current .com renewal price of $14.58 is broken down as:

$0.18 ICANN fee
$8.97 Verisign's current registry fee
$5.43 Namecheap's markup

Namecheap's new .com renewal price of $15.88 will be broken down as:

$0.18 ICANN fee (no change)
$9.59 Verisign's new registry fee (7% increase)
$6.11 Namecheap's new markup (13% increase)

So the price increase is not entirely "out of [Namecheap's] control". They are also increasing their markup.

Edit: fixed error in Namecheap's markup - thanks everyone for pointing that out!

> This is truly a nightmare. How did we allow such a crucial human function, finding a mate, to become monopolized?

I totally agree with you, and I would go even further. I'm actually furious that an essential part of human social life has become commoditised by a for-profit industry led by publicly-traded corporations. It being almost a monopoly, hidden to "consumers" [0] under an illusion of choice, is only the poop cherry on top of the whole steaming pile of crap.

One of my fantasies to become a millionaire (from a starting point of billionaire) is to establish an open source, transparent, non-profit and community-based online platform and app whose only mission is to help people meet someone with whom they are happy to meet and viceversa. Imagine a dating app but:

- Nothing encouraging "power users", even discouraging match accumulation.

- No gamification, other than configurable by user choice.

- No secret algorithms for rating. Instead, a choice of open community-developed algorithms for the swipe queue (if swiping is your thing, you can also filter and sort by query).

- No falsifying the potential dating pool size to keep users hooked. Do not show the profile of user A to user B, even if A fits B's filters, if B does not fit A's filters such that A would not see them.

- User engagement KPI in the denominator, not the numerator—the numerator being user reported success and personal satisfaction. The less time spent for good results, the better.

- No "pay to win". Instead of that, please donate if you win.

My dream would be to create a dating(?) platform, nay, a human relationship platform, with no perverse economic incentives that conflict with users matching. I would hope it could be So Damn Good that anyone looking for a date, or a shag, or a FWB, or to meet people to see where it goes, or whatever would feel like a chump to fall for Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, etc. Let swiping and notification addicts continue to use those for-profit games. Meanwhile, people wanting a human connection could stick to the platform that cares to make it as likely as possible.

Unfortunately, the only thing stopping me from doing this is that I have no plan in motion to become a billionaire such that I can finance this idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Do I have to really preface every question with "i promise i'm not the idiot you assume I am?"

Yes, first of all I do think it's up to the person looking for help to fully elaborate their situation in such a way that makes it clear why the X/Y problem doesn't apply to them, since other people with similar issues who stumble upon your thread might not realize that you have that additional context, and the answer is just as much for them as it is for you (if not moreso, since you're just one person).

Secondly, even if you did fully elaborate your situation, it may be that there are people interested in trying to help who don't know the answer to X but do know the answer to Y, and by answering Y they are still providing more value than not answering at all. There's nothing about answering Y that prevents X from being answered by someone else.
> I don’t see any evidence in your argument as to why I am wrong.

Basic economics on how prices work? The fact that obviously everybody is a price-taker in most home markets?

Your theory is for some sort of massive coordinated action that would reap massive profits to anybody for defecting from. It's game-theoretically impossible but I need to provide the evidence? There are some landlord pricing tools that should absolutely be subject to anti-trust enforcement, but this is again: an extremely small current in modern rental/housing markets.
You might want to look at a chart of deficit spending:
