I use McDonalds bathrooms in a pinch quite often. I don't ask or anything, I walk in, it's there, nobody cares. However, it depends very much on location, and I do this only in suburban areas. if you go into Manhattan, bathrooms that are easy to spot are very much locked down, if there is even one at all, so you have to try to find less obvious bathrooms that don't attract a lot of attention from street traffic.
I’m afraid you didn’t understand what I just said. I was politely trying to say “if you wisely abstain from talking about things you don’t know about, you won’t need to disclaim that you don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The biggest losers of a LVT are SFH owners living in a humble old near worthless house on relatively valuable land.
Often laws passed by the federal legislature or provincial legislature that, in practice, only effects people living in a small area. I don't see why decisions related to housing can also not be made at larger level.

To put it another way, it often happens that people will vote for candidates at the provincial/federal level that support increased immigration and/or population growth, and simultaneously vote NIMBY at the local level.
I went to a McDonald's in Seattle's SoDo in 2021 that had a bouncer at the door, and the bathroom had super annoying blue-lighting. It certainly looked like ordering before using the bathroom was the right thing to do.

There was a ton of street camping around there.
Top end is not the same as average. Not everyone can work at FAANG and no one else in the sector pays like FAANG. What's healthy is a top end that can afford 90% of housing and a median that can afford 50%. Instead we have a top end that can afford 50% and a median that can barely afford 10%. That's what's out of whack.
> Generally you don't solve homelessness with affordable housing.

I think in some part, you do. I think a significant portion of homeless became that way through the stress and despair of affording $2k+ rents on a meager income, dealing with the lack of hope by turning to alcohol and possible other drugs, leading to a downward spiral where they end up on the street, abusing drugs for years, and eventually turning into the destitution you see.
I've tried julia a handful of times. IMO, the thing slowing adoption is that the usecases where julia feels like the most powerful, optimal choice are too limited. For example

- Slow startup times (e.g., time-to-first-plot) kill it's a appeal for scripting. For a long time, one got told that the "correct" way to use julia was in a notebook. Outside of that, nobody wanted to hear your complaints.

- Garbage collection kills it's appeal for realtime applications.

- The potential for new code paths to trigger JIT compilation presents similar issues for domains that care about latency. Yes, I know there is supposedly static compilation for julia, but as you can read in other comments here, that's still a half baked, brittle feature.

The second two points mean I still have the same two language problem I had with c++ and python. I'm still going to write my robotics algorithms in c++, so julia just becomes a glue language; but there's nothing that makes it more compelling that python for that use. This is especially true when you consider the sub-par tooling. For example, the lsp is written julia itself, so it suffers the same usability problems as TTFP : you won't start getting autocompletions for several minutes after opening a file. It is also insanely memory hungry to the extent that it's basically unusable on a laptop with 8gb of ram (on the other hand, I have no problem with clangd). Similarly, auto-formatting a 40 line file takes 5 seconds. The debugging and stacktrace story is similarly frustrating.

When you take all of this together, julia just doesn't seem worth it outside of very specific uses, e.g., long running large scale simulations where startup time is amortized away and aggregate throughput is more important than P99 latency.
Microsoft, in a sense, was the FAANG-mother.

Microsoft didn't spawn Apple. They were siblings, sometimes cooperating and sometimes fierce rivals. Microsoft also bailed out Apple so that it could exist to this day.

Microsoft was the big software giant (well, IBM, but . . .) when Facebook and Netflix and Google got their starts, so ex-'softies likely had an influence on culture and practices in those companies. Amazon is also Seattle-land headquartered and I know there was cross-pollination there.

Even if you think Microsoft is totally crap and not a FAANG, there was some fecal transplant going on with the FAANGs.
I'm not against new housing, I bought new construction two years ago. It's in a place that was owned by the city and the locals used it as a park. There is considerable anger that it was allowed to be built in the first place.

I am just not onboard that new housing is the crux of the problem when there are perfectly good existing houses that are being misused. We should fix the exploitation and also build new housing, but focusing only on new housing as a solution misses the problems of renting and airbnb and excessive hoarding by the well-off.

Imagine what would happen to the housing market if people were forced to sell off their excess rental houses and only keep one house. The people who can afford to own these excesses can afford to deal with the consequences of having to downsize.

Let's use 500,000 per year as a basis.

A large percentage of immigrants are becoming pregnant the year they immigrate. Let's assume there is no interaction with the native population. For the example's sake, let's assume 500k is evenly split men and women. let's assume 40% of the immigrants have a child in the first year.

Total immigrants divided by gender times 40% percent having a child in the first year:
500k / 2 * 0.4 = 100k

That means a theoretical 500k immigration rate is actually 600k after one year.

And, in fact, for the hypothetical sake assume the same thing happens in year two as the original women have a second child in year 2 and now the original population has become 700,000.
Here’s the definition of Treason under US law:

A lot of people borrow against their house in the form of a HELOC. If you run into the case where people owe more than it's worth a lot of for better or worse are going to walk away and the real estate market will crash. This is where home owners have a lot of power.
I have mostly used SSR, but in the last years I'm sometimes using Inertia with React/Vue/Svelte and SSR too. Not sure if there are any clear trends. Personally I prefer plain old blade templates, and I only use FE frameworks if I think it makes sense.

I don't know how the experience is with Livewire, but I've heard a lot of people like that too.

The common options with Laravel is plain blade templates[1], Intertia(React/Vue/Svelte, SSR optional)[2] or Livewire[3].

While the second part is true, it is a fundamental restriction because Julia compiles a method until it is actually hit and types are defined for the call stack. In equivalent manner, for StaticCompiler.jl you need a declarations of the methods/symbols you need to export. So, while it is true you need to do an extra step compared with other languages, it is not a fundamental problem with respect to PackageCompiler.jl, but rather a design restriction given how Julia works.
No. From the announcement email:

> While the changes go into effect today, the earliest we would enforce any account deletion would be December 2023.

> If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your account.

I have no indication that any of my accounts are inactive and thus there should be no action for the next eight months.

Lol no, that's just a reddit opinion. Business judgment rule means businesses have a huge leeway on how to do business, outside of fraud or intentionally trying to cripple the company.
> At least now you no longer pretend that your stance against tipping is but selfless regard for the plight of the exploited worker.

Is it not? The status quo persists in the absence of some change.

You're essentially arguing that a local maxima is preferable to descending the slope to reach the global one.

> Customers would rather go to B (and tip) where they can get better service for the same cost.

The reason businesses charge $9.99 instead of $10.00 is that psychology plays a large role in consumer behavior. The "false advertising" component of culturally mandated tipping is a competitive advantage in the absence of something to counteract it.

It's like saying companies should just avoid hidden fees because customers don't like them. The trouble is the companies that use them get more customers because their prices appear lower.

> Staff will happily go to work at B where they can earn more through hard work. Because most people are not no-tip assholes.

So in order to make C work you need customers to make B unsustainable. (Also somewhat obviously, if staff "can earn more" the other way then you haven't added the amount to their base wages that makes up for the lack of tips.)

And you have a similar psychological component with workers as with customers, because it's harder for workers to evaluate the risk of slow business. Tipping is very casino psychology. People remember the time they got a $50 tip, not the time they stood around all day for $2/hour and there were no customers. They do the math for this week and don't consider what this compensation structure is going to do to them in an economic downturn.

If you knew C doesn't work without doing something to counteract the dark patterns in B, why did you recommend it as a solution? Do you have an actual alternate proposal that could feasibly lead to the end of tipping?

> If the convention is that the business charges less and you make up the difference, then yes you do. You have an obligation to make up the difference.

The Eoin Coifer sequel felt like mediocre fan fiction to me, unfortunately.
At this point various jurisdictions in Canada have layers upon layers of foreign buyer taxes, bans, and empty homes taxes and the issues remain.

Foreign buyers and such can be problems, but at this point looking at Canada's experience here, it's abundantly clear it's not at all the problem and there are deeper systemic problems that are causing the misery.

While many older structures survive, you don’t see all of those structures built using similar methods that didn’t.

Morocco has had similarly devastating earthquakes in 2004 (6.3) and 1960 (5.8) that killed ~13,000, but the region gets vastly larger earthquakes. In 1969 a 7.8 occurred far enough offshore to only kill 13.

I can see some level of equivalency:

An unsuspecting person (Alice) ends up with a shadow FB profile because someone (Bob) who actually created an account (therefore having an opportunity to read terms of service) decided to take a photo of Alice and send it to Facebook.

An unsuspecting person (Alice) ends up with Subaru having an audio recording of what they said because someone (Bob) who actually bought the car (therefore having an opportunity to read terms of service) decided to invite Alice into the car.

In both cases, the company receiving Alice's information would likely say that Alice should take issue with Bob's behavior, not the company's behavior, if they don't like the situation.
While I agree, I think we're almost extinct species.
It's still substantially lower. I know some talented devs who got offers from Amazon within the past couple years, and Amazon's internal HR rules placed a strict comp ceiling on their offer that could be doubled if they'd agree to work from Seattle rather than Vancouver. Same developer, same role, and a very short distance to move. So they moved.

Second, that's my point, unless it's an investment property or if you're selling and leaving the city altogether, you haven't actually earned $75,000/year.
getaddrinfo() is a synchronous function that can do network requests to resolve DNS. The network property isn't reflected in its function signature becoming async. You can have an async_getaddrinfo() which does, but the former is just a practical example of network calls in particular being unrelated to function coloring.
> problem started when apple upgraded iOS to 16.4+ version (27.3.2023 exactly 162 days ago)

Every single comment blames DJI, but shouldn't it be Apple's responsibility to not break existing apps with iOS "upgrades"?

Apple is free to decide they don't care one bit about retro compatibility, but it's just weird we would simply accept that and think of updates like a kind of act of God that just happens.
The way people are so regimental. People are very formal, you can see it in everything. The way they queue even, how they are so traditional and don't like people deviating from the norm. It's a very strict society.

Yeah, this reeks of mostly being wordy propaganda. Particularly equating Cisco with the entire US ICT industry, it's blatantly nuts.

I mean for sure I agree with their conclusion that Cisco has neglected innovation but they don't really expound on Cisco's real missteps clearly.

I guess I recall some supporting facts; closure of NH optics plant, Webex splintered to Zoom, but there's just a political undercurrent here to maintain there's some conspiracy and irrevocable bond between the US and Cisco as leading infrastructure hardware manufacturer, that seems to be the focus of the article. Hence, propaganda.

I don't think people have a right to free speech when that speech is purposely, and I do mean purposely because it was done on purpose, designed to spread misinformation in such a way that others are harmed by it.

There are limits to free speech, and the conversation ends with Popper's paradox.

This is why I refuse to buy a new fancy car

I drove my friends Subaru with lane assist and adaptive cruise control and such. It’s nice, but I figured with the level of data collection that’s going on in these cars plus the fact that there seemed to be a cellular internet connection baked into the car there had to be some fucked up nonsense going on

My daily driver, a 2016 smart fortwo, is not as fancy or practical. But it is through and through a “dumb” car despite the name. It has no real modern creature comforts aside from automatic windshield wipers and headlights. Otherwise it’s like a car from 1998 with modern crash safety and I love it for that. Maybe it collects a ton of data but I’m very confident it doesn’t phone home. Plus a rear engined manual! Although a 3 cylinder one lol. At least you can park it basically anywhere

Does it matter? You don't need infinite loops to eat up all available CPU and take forever to finish. Imagine nesting N loops that run from the smallest integer available to the largest integer available, so if you have 64-bit integers that's (2^64)^N, and N could be whatever you can fit in the code, which could be very large. You can prove that such a program terminates, but not in your lifetime for large enough N. And that's just the most trivial way I can think of to write a provably-terminating-but-not-practically program, and you can always implement faster growing functions and still terminate-just-not-really.

What are the pros and cons of Zig vs Rust? I see Zig mentioned more and more here, especially with regards to threads about Bun, the largest / most popular project in Zig currently, but I'm not sure why I should use it over Rust. Zig seems like it still does not solve the problem of memory safety, in that it has safety issues that would be caught by a borrow checker or other such memory safety checker [0]. You can still use after free, for example:

var hello = try allocator.dupe(u8, "hello world");
allocator.free(hello);
std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{hello});
