Hey, could you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? You can make your substantive points without that.

You may not owe journalists doing statistics better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
I doubt the government can do much for this (unless you want to return to the old East German tradition of planned production): these places offers very limited jobs and lower incomes. It would need a very large investment to make these places attractive enough for business to move there

Either way it’s safe to the say the abstraction has failed and isn’t doing its job anymore if you have to know the implementation details.

To use your garbage collection example, regardless you consider it a leak or not, the result is the same, if you have to deep drive into the workings of the garbage collector and how it manages memory, the abstraction has failed to do its job: to free you from the burden of managing memory.

His point is that all nontrivial abstraction breakdown at some point / under certain circumstances.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this. There's a ton of claims in here, but I see only two sections that allude to war crimes, both alleging firing on soldiers attempting to surrender. There's so much in here about allegedly running over or burying alive Iraqi soldiers, to the point that it overshadows the actual alleged war crime. It's almost like the writer thinks that's the real atrocity here.

For reference, the notion of using armored vehicles to run over troops or bury troops in trenches is not new. Such a tactic has been employed since the First World War. And while that's not a pleasant way to die, it's not like gunshot or shrapnel wounds are that fun either.
I didn't say that, or anything close to it. Funny how in your eyes the only way to not separate yourself from them is to literally do their job. Maybe you can ignore those 10 year olds in the quarries, but I think it's our responsibility to use our positions to improve their situations. It would be kind of neat if there weren't 10 year olds in the quarries, and they could instead go to school, no?
Price discovery isn't manipulation.
It is really simple. It is because humanity has decided that housing is an investment and investments need to grow faster than inflation or else they stop being good investments. Society now has a bias to ensure that the price perpetually grows and therefore we enact policy at every level from national governments to HOAs to ensure those investments keep growing.
What's the benefit to having the app online, versus installing it locally? Looks promising but I don't want reoccurring costs for my CAD software.

Edit: now that I think about it, these are kinda two different concerns rather than the same thing. I still don't like either of them, though.
There are a few ways to get you going:

Yeah, and somebody who is that smart can probably pack their data structures efficiently and find an approximation to do the job on a macbook pro that people with too many resources need a 1000 machine cluster to do. And get the coding and the computation done in the time that the C++ compiler is still chewing on the headers of the bloated library. (At times I’ve been that guy.)

But seriously, there is such a thing as industrialization. Google is notorious though for hiring 180 IQ people and getting them to perform at a 35 IQ level because there the documentation makes no sense, a procedure which should be done in one step really takes 300, fighting with C++, etc. They can afford to do it because it is just so profitable to help that guy who shows up on every. single. video. roll. who says “you can’t lose weight by exercising”, “you can’t lose weight by cutting carbs” who links to some video that drones on hours and hours and signs you up for some subscription you can never cancel to sell scam supplements.

Shame on them.

BTW, with high-complexity software there is enough question that you got it working right that you expect a significant process of testing that it works for your application. For instance if you got a hydrocode for simulating the explosion of a nuclear weapon you would not take for granted that you had built it properly and were using it properly until you'd done a lot of validation work. A system like that isn't a product unless it comes with that validation suite. The same is true for automated trading software (gonna hook it up straight to the market without validation? hope you have $100M to burn!)

... now there was that time a really famous CS professor e-mailed me a short C program that was said to do something remarkable that crashed before it even got into main() which did teach me a thing about C but that's not what a professional programmer does.
This feels like the same argument that is given here in the US[0], which mean that in general, most of the housing is not likely to be usable anyway.

In western europe.

Having said that, raising interest rates means prices will go down but still be expensive for the average joe.

Large "investors" on the other hand are making a killing. If you have cash buy now. As soon as the interest rate madness ends prices will skyrocket and you'll make a killing.
This sentence doesn't know if it's in the local paper or at a slam poetry reading:

"Paying at the pump is for chumps - when you can get gas for free - and illegal, but it didn’t stop a Detroit man from stealing almost 800 gallons of gas at the Shell at Eight Mile and Wyoming."
Run it in a transaction, and if it fails, abort the transaction. nbd, did this for years in prod. Discovered some interesting assumptions about sequential IDs in the DB tests while running it against prod under peak load, too!
People aren't as smart as they think.

I also automate part of the process, and I think everyone should be or soon will be, but having received many CVS/cover letters as well, the ones with too much LLM are glaringly obvious and an easy rejection.

These days with companies receiving hundreds of CVs, you only need 1 reason to reject an application. Don't make your application so LLMy that you give the hiring manager an easy reason
Interesting, but I must admit I don't really understand the use cases that favour this over the bind mount mechanism. Using a combination of a mount and a port mapping I got hot reloading to work quite well with Parcel running in a container. What ad hoc changes would I make inside the container, for example?

Automatic rebuilding when certain files change is pretty cool, though.
I'm not sure if WalMart is much better since they have third-party sellers.
There were so many cool exotic systems that I read about in books and magazines, but never had the resources or knew the right people to actually play with. Parents and school admins barely knew what that newfangled information superhighway was, and later on at best the stock response to "I want to learn C" was "we aren't paying $1,000 for Visual Studio" - GNU was a completely unknown concept until I stumbled across Slashdot some time in 2000. I imagine similar stories played out for many a mid-90s rural computer nerd.

Second-hand nostalgia, if you will.
I am just a software engineer that wants to organize my tabs (documentation, repositories, pull requests, on call incidents) in a way that my brain can comprehend. I don't see how that makes me "management class"
Yes, but shouldn't there be a peak in the spectrum near the frequency corresponding to the pulselength?
Wouldn’t it easier for management of this kind to hide? You can’t see that they are not actually doing anything if they are working from home. In the office they have to justify themselves because otherwise they’re just sitting there.
Quite similarly, I imagine that if there were a chart sort of like like Figure 1 with "mental health" on the y-axis but having "total work hours per week" on the x-axis, there'd be a peak somewhere above zero hours but far less than 40 hours. (Controlling for same type of work, sames ages, etc.) Anyone want to guess what the peak x-axis value would be?

I will put my conspiracy theory hat on. If you want to continue burning fuel and you have these pesky climate change activists. Why not fund the most aggressive and annoying groups? People get pissed off and vote for politicians that do not fight climate change. You can clearly make a case for why it makes sense.
Before you waste your time, this is a commercial product and you need to pay $30 to buy their model to run it.
You have to keep rotating them. If they do not happen to have something that matches their current clients they basically dont help you but string you along.
That slippery slope is very slippery!
That kind of information is present in fan fiction, Wikipedia, reviews. Plenty of other sources. You're also incredibly wrong on being able to assume a book is present in the dataset. It is up to the complainant to prove the case, you are not guilty because you didn't keep sufficient records.
When I still had a motorcycle (early 2000s), I'd find a lot of rural stations didn't have modern tech on the pumps, and there were a lot of stations that still allowed pump-then-pay.

Some stations just have shitty tech. A station near me fails open if you initiate a credit card transaction, take the pump off the hook, and then abort the transaction.
Do that same calculation in Benelux, South East UK, Paris metro…
> We provide an agent deployment model that allows your data to never leave your network

Which is fine -- nobody is asking for a law requiring all housing to be high density. The ask is to remove the laws prohibiting new housing from being high density.

Which should make it even easier to find low density housing, because you won't be competing for it against people who just need a place to live and don't care about having a big yard.

30k car is definitely not "cheap". That statistics is skewed by 1) high-end cars (Bill Gates walks into a bar, everybody's average income doubles) 2) the fact that people that can't afford expensive cars just buy used ones. That doesn't make the new ones less expensive in any way.
Walmart's online store is actually a marketplace, with Walmart being one of the many sellers (they also do fulfillment by Walmart).

So, if you see higher prices, it's probably an arbitrage situation. Filter down to just Walmart as the retailer, and you should get the kind of pricing you expect from Walmart, albeit with the selection you would expect from a Walmart.

I think it's important to remember that this may apply generally to a workforce, but not necessarily equally across all workers. Let's remain focused on flexibility vs prescribing things across the board.

It's certainly harder to have those conversations and to accommodate variation, but the result for employees and employers would be better with a little investment of time (and sometimes money) here.
This existed quite a while before Julia, how is it that Julia claims this differentiation then? "We pride ourselves by not using the slow thing you're probably not actually using."
It is not.

IPFS exists entirely independently from Filecoin. There is no blockchain. Full stop.

That Filecoin uses some common tech with ipfs like libp2p and cids doesn’t change that.

If/when filecoin disappeared, ipfs would keep working exactly the same. Because ipfs does not have (or use or depends on) a blockchain.
Our politicians are heavily invested in real estate and they additionally leverage their influence to invest even more. Real estate is like heroine.
That's probably exactly the phenomenon that the FTC is talking about in their complaint. Since Amazon punishes sellers who offer lower prices off of Amazon, sellers are forced to use their Amazon price as their price floor. And since Amazon has huge market share and insanely high seller fees (upwards of 40%), then prices across the entire economy go up.
> but it could be a contributor to inflated housing prices there as well.

Unless they are moving in the millions it'll barely make a dent. There have been reports coming in from countries such as portugal stating that "nomads" are driving housing costs up, but those are the exception - if anything it helps the economy of that country.
I'd be curious to know how stable these isotope ratios are over long periods of time. For example I could imagine as a river changes course and erodes different sediments, that would change the ratios for plants growing downstream. Likewise an increase in rainfall in an area might dilute the amount of groundwater it consumes.

I'd also be curious about patterns of human consumption. In the modern day, sea food is the primary source of strontium in people's diets, with dairy and meat products also being large contributors. Agricultural trade could easily lead to people eating animals raised in a different region which might have an outsized effect on a specific dietary mineral.

I have quit my job to pursue a dream of moving abroad to a major city, where I may learn tango while practicing one of my favorite languages, growing my skills and career in the process.

Isn't that just a recruiter at an independent agency? Reply to LinkedIn messages and even if you don't like the role they have at that time, those people are your headhunters.
We can build to modern standards fine. The problem is usually you're not allowed to build at all. Nearly every jurisdiction in the west has tight supply caused by nothing except laws and zoning; there's nothing about the air or the dirt preventing a bigger building.

I don't think people necessarily want to go back to the 1900s and share a ten square meter apartment with a 3-generation family, and then die in a fire because that's too many people to evacuate out of one door.

> You don’t need to buy a house to be able to live.

Agree.

> No human living in 2023 would want to live by 1950 standards.

Also agree.

But that neither of those things are relevant for the argument.

You don’t need a house to live, but it provides stability, which is a huge part of the decision of having children.
My assumption is that signing up results in more spam even though the company has my email address either way because the act of signing up puts me in a demographic that tends to respond better to unsolicited emails -- so the company makes more from selling my data when I've made an account.

But it's only an assumption.

> Adversarial thinking works for today's fucked up world but leaves those honest not even able to try in such a paradigm

Indeed, and this is a real problem I've encountered in my own business ventures. It doesn't take that many people to pee in the pool before others start getting hesitant about swimming.

But we have to find a way to operate in the world as it exists, not as we wish it exists.
Loss leader pricing when used to force other businesses to close is quite illegal in the US[1] - when used for other reasons the legality varies on a state by state basis in the US... it is illegal in quite a few places. I'm not particularly familiar with international laws here.

> How did we get to the point where reflexive empathy for drivers over everyone else has completely trumped basic understanding of both the law and human decency?

This! I sometimes watch some of these dashcam accidents, and I can say most of them can be avoided if everyone had some basic human decency, but it always go “I have the right of way I don’t care” attitude, yes you have a green light but obviously you are seeing other car is crossing the road, try to stop/avoid it instead it of ramming it, especially you are still accelerating not already at full speed..
I'd expect it to be worse for the environment than owning. My apartment has an electric heat system older than myself instead of a modern, efficient heat pump because I rent (to be fair, I'm not sure how the math works out on keeping the inefficient but working current HVAC system over replacing it, environmentally, but if it breaks, the cheapest possible thing that fits will replace it). I can't improve the insulation because I rent. I could never have something like solar panels because I rent. These investments would save energy, but utilities are my responsibility so my landlords haven't been interested. The most I can do as a renter is replace lightbulbs with LEDs.

Plus, every time we're forced to move we end up making a lot of trash and burn a lot of fuel moving things.

Plenty of opportunities. The alternatives could just have created a mod_php equivalent. I can't imagine ISPs "closing the doors" to newcomer languages, the market should have been competitive enough to allow for penetration.

The thing is that productivity of a language depends on many factors, including many softer ones that are typically forgotten or discounted by language geeks. It also depends on the target audience. In some important ways, PHP was/is brilliant.

A technically brilliant language should be able to recognize the adoption driver mechanisms and build the necessary infrastructure. The point of a language is not (only) to build a theoretically sound framework, but to be an ergonomic vehicle for expression of ideas.

Price collusion, however, is. The goal of price discovery is to find the price that the market will bear; it is not to find the price that your so-called competitors will agree to match.
> This is in inexcusably bad taste to not call it war given the tens of thousands of combat losses

Well, the Wikipedia summary is short on details, so it's hard to debate the merits of the articles / book from the summary.

But: The general thesis is that "The Gulf War" doesn't meet the definition of "war." The point is to make you think about the purpose and merit of the Gulf War.

We should always question the legitimacy of wars. It's how we grow as a society and try to minimize (or eliminate) as much conflict as possible.

(I'm a believer that the root cause of war is psychopathic leadership and naive leadership. Preventing these situations is much easier said than done.)
> and letting purchasers decide to buy it or not with full knowledge

Consumers never have full knowledge of the quality level of whatever they're purchasing, much less in something like a house that is not standard and has to be adapted to the place it's built in.

At least with a law setting minimums, if you're lucky, you can sue if it doesn't meet them.
All you are missing now is a 'scratch pad' to 'sketch out' an idea without any definites. Like take a nomnom/mermaidjs flow chart and let me 'flesh out' each block with the control blocks.
