I believe by this time people should be aware AirBnb is a deeply unethical company whose business is built around something that has massive social costs.

One the one hand I am glad to see it receiving negative attention.

On the other hand, I feel the people complaining are also getting what they deserve.

There’s really no reason to use jQuery at this point. It made sense when the native APIs were lacking and inconsistent between browsers. That’s not the case anymore. Just use vanilla JavaScript.
Usually the reason is that people want to continue using the built-in interface with just some additions, instead of replacing and maintaining a separate installation.

It would be nice if someone were to start working on an aftermarket linux distribution/ecossytem that targets eink devices. It's a lot of work to do, though, so I'm not surprised that nobody has picked up that torch yet.

Some notes on the reMarkable, it is running a custom linux distribution that is based on Openembedded Core[0]. The company publishes their modifications to the linux kernel[1], so one person has created their own linux distribution for the original reMarkable tablet [2]. The reMarkable 2 currently has no native framebuffer driver for the screen, due to it being software controlled by the UI application, which requires a workaround for custom applications[3].

Context is everything. In the context of Jekyll, all of this is certainly a useful feature: this is not code that needs to be re-used or maintained in the same way as your Rails project has to be.

As always, engage your brain before doing anything and you don't need to use these features, but it gives you the tools to do "smart things" that Go simply can't. This, among other things, means that Jekyll will scale reasonably well with your website as your needs grow, without having to add features to Jekyll core, using your own fork of Jekyll, or switching to something completely different.

For example, I have a little plugin[1] to work around a bug[2] and to skip the hard-coded requirement to have a date in the filename.[3] Is this ugly? Yes. Is this fine to generate a relatively simple personal website? Also yes.

Agreed. I gave up on AirBnb years ago and just got back into regular loyalty programs of regular hotels.
I’m sure there is a lot more available space than the city lets on. You can see residential luxury high-rises where most of lights on every floor are off at night. Nobody is living in them. 10s of empty rent controlled units in each of many buildings where those units stay empty for years.

The city may be struggling to house these migrants, but I’m sure there is a strong incentive to keep normal housing units unavailable so friends of politicians can fill their low demand hotel rooms and supply catering at very favorable rates.
OP was just going off a tangent about why cameras are bad, not saying that the AirBnB would use the cameras the blackmail a prostitute/ sex slave.

Yes, because it mitosifies into two.

At 2:30 it looks like conway's game of life, as an aside.
One point that the article did land for me was the potential for individual change to be unhelpful. No-phone dinners only work if there isn't any sense of anxiety about not having your phone at dinner. That anxiety only goes away if you have an environment that allows you to unplug. Systemic changes like requiring workplaces to allow employees to have "off times" seem necessary to remove some of the baseline anxieties many of us have.

If you want to talk about kids specifically, then you'd need some way to alter the anxieties that affect them the most. Anecdotally, it seems like kids (teens especially) end up with lots of FOMO and loneliness. The only structural reforms I've seen suggested as solutions to those were much more drastic than the ones proposed for adults, like preventing teenagers from using social media at all.
Brilliant resource, IMO. There’s a lot of activities, you pick the ones (if any) that suits your requirements. Honestly, if you cannot see the value of brainstorming an idea, and you never done it before, not sure if you fully understand people.
These activities can be prepared in a way that are well informed and take more or less time.
I tend to see them as good additions if everyone understands the value it brings. What I’ve came to see is that sometimes people disagree, but are proven differently later in the process (at that point, it meant going back and re-think all the initial assumptions).
I think that approach might only work if both locations are directly north/south from each other, unless I'm thinking about this wrong. If the locations are east/west relative to each other, the shortest shadow won't occur at exactly the same moment.

edit: I guess that would still be a problem if you're using the zenith to determine the time of measurement. The best map I can find of the 2 locations used is [here](https://mathigon.org/step/circles/eratosthenes) and seems to indicate that Alexandria and Swenet/the other location are relatively north/south to each other.

edit 2: some more thoughts. If 2 points at the same latitude but on the opposite sides of the world were chosen, Eratosthenes method wouldn't have worked. The sun would have the same position in the sky at the zenith, but they'd be separated by thousands of miles, implying a flat world. Whether by design or luck, it seems that Eratosthenes experiment only works if the same longitude is used for each location, and otherwise he would have arrived at a very different answer for the circumference of the earth.

> I've known homeschooled kids that are easily 2 grades ahead of where they would be at a typical public school - and with no social shortcomings whatsoever, but they may be outliers as the parents were brilliant themselves.

I've never met a single person like this. I have met quite a few whose parents were dumber than stumps and had weird religious reasons for homeschooling their kids. The result was extremely poorly socialized, super-dumb kids who never progressed past the education level of their parents. They mostly moved to public school for high school because they wanted to play varsity sports, and they got their heads handed to them in class because they were several years behind their classmates. It's hard to learn in a class when you don't understand anything that the class is being taught and everyone thinks you're stupid to boot. One of them moved out of state immediately out of high school because he was so embarrassed at people's perception of him.

A sibling comment linking to Johnson's algorithm shows a way to do it.

To me, adding a constant to all edges seems like an obvious idea to try-- but one issue is that it will distort the ranking for paths that have different numbers of edges. Ideally a normalisation would preserve the ranking of paths so that a path with minimal unnormalised weight would also be a path of minimal normalised weight. But ranking won't be preserved by adding a constant C to all edge weights, now paths with more edges will be unfairly penalised.
Still, pretty much every city in the country has more room to fill in density.

It's really not that slow; my website builds in 0.8 seconds (121 pages) and OP's website builds in ~30 seconds (3,325 pages) – or rather, OP's website can be built in ~30 seconds (see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37277381)

All of this is without cache, and with incremental builds disabled; it will obviously be faster with cache and incremental builds.

I don't know where this "Jekyll is notoriously slow" comes from; maybe it was (very) old versions, or maybe it's some plugin people use, or maybe something else, but I've used Jekyll for a number of websites over the last ten years, and I never really had any performance issues.

Certainly today, I think it's unfair to say that Jekyll is "slow". Yes, Go is faster, which should hardly surprise anyone, but for most purposes Jekyll should be more than fast enough, and you'll hardly notice the difference with something faster like Hugo or GoJekyll.

In our modern society, everyone is a victim and it's always someone else's fault. My opinion that people in America do have choices and their lives are the sum of those choices inevitably elicits a lot of rather angry responses.

All the people I've gotten to know over the years are all where they are as a result of their choices.

The interesting thing about deciding to own your choices is it's empowering - you can choose to change your life. The victims, however, have unpowered themselves, and thus remain forever hapless victims.

For example:

1. Live in a bad location? Move

2. Uneducated? Education is free over the internet

3. Weak? Exercise

4. Overweight? Eat less

5. Drug addicted? Treatment is available

6. Criminal record? Start your own business

7. Unhappy with your finances? Learn how to invest

8. Your friends drag you down? Discard them

9. Hate your boss? Quit and get another job

And so on. None of this is easy. It will take effort. It's up to you.
Just as a counterpoint... I was homeschooled from 2nd grade until sophomore year of high school. I played sports the entire time (was the captain of various teams), had plenty of friends, and was pretty social. Even still, I felt like my social skills were significantly stunted when compared to others my age. It took a long time for me to feel comfortable just hanging out with others because most of my social time was spent doing activities.

Was in high school ~10 years ago and the other homeschool families we knew were a mix of farm/ultra religious low social skill homeschoolers and fairly normal folks with decent social skills.

TLDR: I think there is a social aspect of being in school that homeschool kids miss out on, regardless of how many extracurricular or sports they may do.
If the business can't be sold, all of those people lose their jobs.

Also, the owners presumably took a significant financial risk in starting the business, which hasn't paid off. It really baffles me when people think that employees, who aren't taking out personally-guaranteed SBA loans and risking losing it all in order to start a business, deserve all of the profit from the business. They deserve to be paid a fair wage, but people who actually take the risk to create something deserve to capture the upside.
