Which with the noun after it is rare, but in every case omitting the noun preserves the meaning while generating more commonplace sentences. I think the most common usage is "of which", in which (heh) the noun is omitted.
Maybe? Or how about they are in no-way comparable.Unless you are talking mass subsidization there is an absolute floor for providing housing, not to mention finite capacity for both tent cities and affordable apartments.
> Someone in the article was forced out of her home because her landlord suddenly raised her rent by $500. That shouldn't be legal.

Rent gets raised by $500 because someone else would actually pay that much. Rent control is the ultimate "I got mine" - it rewards people who got in early while making it impossible for anyone else to have housing. The reason rent could go up that much is because supply is so artificially constrained.

Ironically enough I'm more optimistic we can mitigate the worst impacts of climate change (as it's more of an engineering and technology issue). Sure the transition will be expensive but we're making solid progress [1] and we still have a bunch of unused tools in our tool belt (geoengineering, cloud brightening, carbon capture etc).

Demographically (and by proxy politically) though things are far from improving, we are just getting started. Just look at the massive social unrest caused by European states attempting to raise pension ages. God forbid we try and unwind some of the ZIRP associated housing inflation (in a democracy where the older homeowners hold a political majority it will never happen willingly).

no, certainly ten years+ after that series.. Is it unusual that the Swedish wrote documents, also published in English, documenting the forest and natural species of the range of mountains in the South West of the Balkans. Those documents were later used as part of a declaration headed by an American group. Real estate sales is also listed, along with the "pristine" nature. Somehow, the nature preserves are not respected now?

I have created a mini site nocode builder with Bubble
For the last 3 weeks, I'm in the process of developing an application that allows online creators to create mini website (one page, mobile first), sharable with a link in social media bios.

Like a linktree, but with many more possibilities.

The specificity of the project: the app is dedicated to people who have no technical skills and who have a business they promote via social networks (fitness and sports coaches, yoga teachers, sophrologists, tattoo artists...).

The aim: to replace linktree links (whose purpose is simply to stack links) with a Gumy page - a real mini site that lets you present your activity using blocks of text, images... And even videos!

Basically, it's a project for my mother, who is a sophrologist and posts on Instagram to promote herself and get new clients.

She doesn't want to have a "real" website (too complex for what she needs) and alternative like linktree doesn't suit her because she needs features that linktree doesn't offer, such as adding photos to her page, a contact form, paragraphs of text to explain who she is...

My aim was to create a mini builder that was simple, intuitive and offered plenty of scope for customization.

I think I've succeeded!

The first version is out :)

You can test it at this address: https://gumy.me

What do you think of it?

Don't hesitate to give me your feedback, which will help me improve it!

It's fine if you think that the planning process is what causes subjective experiences to arise. That may well be the case. I'm saying if you don't believe that non human objects can have subjective experiences, and then use that to define the limits of the behaviour of that object, that's a fallacy.

China serves as this counter factual and it's facing an even larger housing crisis. Massive building of houses lead to many people buying up property for investment reasons and now there is a pretty clear oversupply while plenty of people still struggle to find housing.

I don't really understand why HN is obsessed with building unlimited housing as though this will fix the problem. For years people clamored that this was the solution to all of SFs problems, but as SF starts to shrink it already looks deserted, I can't image what happen if the HN fantasy of building unlimited massive apartment housing had materialized.
I have to listen to the Joe's talk on this but from OP this is more accurately "Why do we need Erlang modules at all?" or generously "Modules in FP languages". A key motivating pattern (fib/3) is a pattern in FP.

More directly in terms of Joe's brainstorming:

- I don't see how the versioning matter is simplified by a flat space of functions. Before you had Nm modules to track and now you have Nf functions to track, with Nf >> Nm. Aggregating functions in library/modules to version is actually helping with versioning effort, not hindering it. More generally, the versioning of multi-component systems are complex affairs that can only be addressed by constraints - general engineering systems have standards + catalogs as the means of addressing this general engineering issue.

- Broadly I disagree with conflating modules and libraries. They are distinct conceptually. Modules could have state (and meta-data state), conceptually. Modules potentially could also have active elements internally. Modules can have life-cycles. To sum: modules conceputally are not just collections of (related) functions.

So the general question is 'can we live with just libraries of functions?'

I think PLT excitement here is not 'a k/v bag of richly annotated functions' -- the guaranteed end result of that approach is n variants of elaborate 'structure' encoded into the metadata Joe is talking about -- but rather pushing modules to extreme to make the distinction from libraries crystal clear.

> her landlord suddenly raised her rent by $500. That shouldn't be legal.

GP: "Government regulation is preventing the construction of more housing"

You: "So true. For example, we need more regulation that make housing a legally encumbered asset with uniquely constrained and inflexible financial properties"

What is your thought process here? Do you think this kind of thing will encourage the provision of more houses? Do you have a sense for how making housing an exceptionally financially risky asset will influence whether or not investors are interested in building more housing, and how they have to perform initial pricing to offset rent-fixing and regulatory risk?
Yeah I don’t think OpenAI needs any marketing at this point.
Oh wow, I didn't know that one! Thanks!
The problem was they made deep press and long press do different things, so it chose the wrong one regularly. I don't know why they ever thought that was a good idea. It was obvious that deep press should have just been "faster long press".
They do marketing like a 3-person startup that found a saas starter template, connected Stripe with shoestrings, and hasn't looked back. In order to start using the API, I actually had to cancel and sign back up again (because I think I was on a previous rev of the billing model).

I do love these companies that succeed in spite of their marketing & design and not because of it. It shows you have something very special.

Ask HN: How to get through to someone at Google about broken Gmail function?
How can I alert Google to the following broken 'Send Mail As' issue to get it fixed? I've tried their forum option, but that just reaches some nice volunteer enthusiasts.

1. Gmail has a feature called Send Mail As. This feature allows the user to send email from another domain through their Gmail account. From their help page:

================================================
"If you own another email address, you can send mail as that address. For example:

Yahoo, Outlook, or other non-Gmail address
Your work, school, or business domain or alias, like @yourschool.edu or youralias@gmail.com
Another Gmail address
Tip: You can send emails from up to 99 different email addresses."
================================================

2. I have happily been using it for sending and replying to my Hotmail/Outlook account for over a decade.

3. Suddenly Gmail is rejecting sending to these Hotmail addresses via alias. The error message reads:

550 5.7.26 This mail is unauthenticated, which poses a security risk to the sender and Gmail users, and has been blocked. The sender must authenticate with at least one of SPF or DKIM. For this message, DKIM checks did not pass and SPF check for [hotmail.com] did not pass with ip: 209.85.220.41.

4. On checking it appears that:

a) That IP belongs to Google. So Google is blocking its own feature
b) The reason may be that Spamcop (and only Spamcop) has blacklisted that IP.

5. The bottom line is, a service which Google offers for free to its users for convenience is now broken (due to Google inaction?).

6. I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole of wondering whether this has anything to do with a general Google/Microsoft issue.

7. Yes I know I'm the product and I really should just stop using Gmail. But hey...
Well, robots aren’t humans are they? You won’t expect to catch COVID-19 from a leaf and a fish getting sweaty at a gym.

Linux supports UTF-8 the same way Windows does: by trusting you that the encoding is correct, unless you access APIs that are encoding dependent somehow. The Windows API is a lot more complete than the Linux API, so comparing them is rather pointless.

Windows supports UTF-16, it doesn't guarantee UTF-16 correctness. The native methods annotated with the W suffix all take UTF-16, so unless you want to render your own fonts, you're going to need to provide it with either that or ASCII.
How to ace your 1Password interview
No way immigration doesn't help, I see this in germany help so many startups enter the market and build successful businesses that drive the economy.

The problem is that it's not a solution, the solution is to constantly push against inequility and increase social mobility while investing in productive industries (less housing speculations more manufacturing).

those are tough bills to swallow and they will lead any elected goverment out of the office, because strong shifts to an economy like this come with a lot of short term pain. and no one is willing to setdown and deal with 10 years of poor economy so that the future of the country is better.
I've done the Postgres skip locked thing at least three times and I'm currently doing it, but IMO it is actually more maintenance and overhead, not less -- at least when compared with the queues made available by the major cloud providers. Compared with Pubsub or SQS you need to handle,

* Metrics, monitoring, alarming on depth, message age

* Autoscaling on your custom metrics

* Managing retries, dead lettering, backoff

* Managing the DB workload: it's update-heavy and may easily be more intensive than the rest of your app. You may need to repeatedly scale your tiny, startup-scale DB, causing customer disruptions, because of your homemade queue.

The arguments for it are either avoidance of lock-in, or the hand-wavy one in this article/many comments: "we're a small startup, we need to minimize complexity, and make things as simple as possible, maintenance will kill us!".

Lock-in makes sense (though other queue alternatives should still be considered), but the latter argument gets used to justify all kinds of harebrained, superficially-simple but actually-complicated engineering schemes. I generally put the PG skip locked approach in that bucket, particularly when the alternative on hand is Pubsub or SQS. If it's between a Postgres table and ActiveMQ I might feel more conflicted.
I found them quite solvable. But I have to say I didn't try the slider on mobile. Rest seems okay, when you have bad luck with an rotating image, you could just refresh and get a new one.
It would still break end-to-end encryption if I allow it.

However I just found out Apple added a way to manage rules in iCloud Mail to iOS 17. It's in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Mail > iCloud Mail Rules. They did not mention this anywhere, but it's there and it's new!

Unfortunately still unusable for me because it allows only a single condition. No AND or OR conditions. For example still not possible to filter by FROM and Subject and the same time. And you can only filter a very limited amount of fields: FROM, TO, FROM or TO, CC, Subject and List-ID. For example it's not possible to search the body.

iCloud Mail and Calendar are way too simple to be useful for me. Calendar only searches 1 year back, even if everything is synced (I actually need this quite often). No weekly view in portrait mode (I use this all the time in Google Calendar). Calendar and Reminders don't integrate at all (Google Calendar shows tasks from Google Tasks). Not possible to sync calendar subscriptions across devices.
That sounds very unique, to the point of implausibility. Any community with a 1 acre minimum lot by definition doesn't have anything like an enormous housing shortage. That's rural density.

Navigating Personal Information with Care
Of course. It's just that fairness is often given as a reason, especially since the accommodations often might be unfair in other professions, but were meant to counteract specific unfair problems.

For example, spousal hiring could be seen as nepotism; in the case of Goeppert-Mayer, it famously wasn't allowed because of that. Yet outside of a handful of major cities, the local university is often the only place in the area someone can have a strong academic career, and academic careers often involve moving, so for a couple to both have academic careers, they often need to find a university willing to hire them both, and to search for positions together, something that is very difficult, especially when in different fields, unless the university has procedures to handle it. Add to this that academics often have social lives within academia, and this can become a very common difficulty.
Yes unfortunately. There are TikTok "challenges" go slap your teacher for example.

> We have first order knowledge of things

No, we don't. We only have first-order knowledge of our perceptions of things. And quantum mechanics shows us that those perceptions can be radically different from the underlying reality.

Of course, Einstein can be forgiven for making this mistake because he didn't know about the Bell inequality and the subsequent experiments, so it is understandable that he would cling to the hope that something would come along and rescue QM from the EPR paradox by somehow extracting classical reality from the Schroedinger equation. But modern thinkers cannot be so readily absolved.

What annoys me is this:
I have a TMobile iPhone 15 Pro and three Erro Pro 6 units, all with wired backhaul.
Over the wire, my fast.com results repeatedly reach ~1.2 Gigs.
Over Wifi, from a foot away, my results are around 650Mbps.

The local church recently had T-Mobile install a 5G antenna array around it. I'm about two blocks away.

Over 5G, I get 1.4Gigs down, though my walls, through an entire house between us.

But my Wifi router only gets 650 down with the phone using it as a stand.
Monetization of real estate in china is exacerbated by the fact that A) there aren't a lot of great investment opportunities available to most chinese people B) the chinese government has a history of propping up property values, so there's a perception that housing is a safe investment.

The situation for non-housing assets is not quite as bad in the US.
From what I've read the majority of commercial leases do not have anything covering breaking the lease, so it defaults to whatever state law says happens when there is no prior agreement.

That commonly says that (1) the landlord must try to find another tenant, and (2) the leaving tenant has to continue paying until that happens or they reach the end of the lease.

Trying to find another tenant does not mean that the landlord has to take any extraordinary actions to do so. They just have to list the property as available and show it to people who show interest, just like they would with any other empty property they have.

Thus, it comes down to what the market is like. E.g., when I moved from Seattle I broke a lease, but my apartment was next to the University of Washington. There are always people looking for apartments next to UW so the landlord easily found another tenant.

A lot of cities right now have a glut of commercial office space available, with listings staying open for months or years. Someone breaking a lease on office space in such a city would likely finding themselves having to pay to the end of lease.
