The business is exactly that. Ilegal hotels. Most airbnbs are flats/houses specifically for that. It allows individuals to be part of rental network without the pains of doing it proper.

I think their biggest issue now is that the renters got more greedy and airbnbs start to cost more than hotels. Which atleast around me didnt use to be the case.

Signal claims to know nothing. However, for a few years now users' contact lists are uploaded to Signal's servers with the notoriously insecure Intel Secure Enclave being the only protection. It is likely that a state actor has access to that, which is already highly desirable information for mass surveillance.

See, when I read:

> Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.

To me this sounds like the problem isn't the malicious users, so much as people using the malicious users as an argument to shut down Omegle.

This is definitely the best idea for "drop down" DSLs (by drop down, I mean that you are working in a general-purpose language and then, for one specific situation, you drop down into the DSL because it is more productive).

I think the article is more oriented towards standalone DSLs (where the entry point is the DSL itself), as those get actual maintenance benefits from not being able to invoke arbitrary code in the host language.
Philosophy is very dear to me and I loved studying it, so I cannot let this story stand without having commented. I'm not going to come to its defense other than to point to several references as the works of many philosophers over several thousands years have done so much more eloquently through their philosophical works than anything that I could even dream to equal.

I'll just say that studying the works Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Descartes, Locke, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Kant, Thoreau, Hume, Nietzsche, G.E Moore, Russell, A.J. Ayer, Popper, Schopenhauer, Sartre and many others made me a better and more rounded person. They taught me to think better, to argue logically and put things into perspective. I often don't succeed but those guys are always at the back of my head niggling about what I think and pushing me to evaluate or reevaluate what I am doing. They've altered my thinking and my perception of the world.

My profession isn't philosophy but moving electrons around or at least trying to make them do my bidding (sometimes I reckon they're the philosophers, not me). In many ways much of what I do involves the physical world and seemingly it couldn't be further away from philosophy— metaphysics —which, by definition, is above and beyond physics. However, I'd argue that those who only perceive the world through the mathematics of say Einstein's and Schrödinger's equations and debunk philosophy as base or at best a waste of time have missed the point. Likely they haven't studied philosophy so they've not considered that the way they've learned and gained knowledge is itself a philosophical study of practical value, namely epistemology. Science was once termed natural philosophy and many of the ways of thinking and learning are common to both.

It seems to me that conceptualizing quantum fields in QFT (or at least trying to) isn't that different a process to Berkeley conceptualizing whether the tree in the Quad exists when there's no one to look at it. No doubt the former is magnitudes more complex, and given that 250 years have passed since Berkeley's era approaches to thinking about such matters have become more nuanced and complex. In physics today causality is a central concept and David Hume refined Berkeley's propositions to incorporate inductive reasoning and causality. Philosophers fine-tuned the thinking process that eventually allowed inductive reasoning to conclude the Higgs particle actually exists despite that no one has ever seen it directly—even CERN's detectors never saw it, they've only ever detected the aftermath of its decay. Philosophy not only has practical purposes but it's a fascinating subject.

Then there are the books, some of the most significant and influential ever written, Republic, Leviathan, A Treatise of Human Nature, Social Contract, Critique of Pure Reason, Being and Nothingness, etc., etc. These are works of brilliant minds that have endured over the centuries—and they endured for so long for the very reason that many have valued their contents greatly.
damn, that's rough. It's a shame because yes, the first amendment does include "the right of the people peaceably to assemble"

But that's the rub, PEACEABLY. Clearly what happened in Charlottesville violated that and is no longer protected under the constitution. But we can't ever truly predict the actions of an individual in a large group.

I'm very torn. I feel like we veer into Minority Report if we start having to predict what assemblies are prone to violation or not.
Just from the title, I can deduce the article is based on a logical error. There will ALWAYS be incompetent people involved in any solution. So if solution X fails because of incompetent people, but solution Y succeeds, then solution Y must be better.
The same goes for the disclaimer at the end, "it's actually about incompetence across organisations", you will always have that.
Yes, it's a great fit for this. You would probably want an internet-accessable sync server with a copy of the repo, so that the data is still available when no peers are online. Bluetooth/uPnP network adapters would be the cherry on top but AFAIK aren't ready yet.

> DRY is more about extraction of shared function not about individual expressions

I'm not sure where you get that idea. Repetition anywhere is usually a code smell.

> You write code once

And then you update it when you add new features or the requirements change or you fix bugs, etc. Having to change two symbols is more error prone than changing one. And having to parse more code is harder than parsing less code.

The assign-and-test pattern is common in several languages (e.g. C), and adding a comment that explains the logic should remove all doubt as to what is happening and why, so I see it as a win/win.

In any case, there is a trade-off between terseness and legibility, and while I usually favor more verbose code, I tend to draw the line at needless repetition. But that's my personal preference, and everybody draws that line in different places.

Yeah so this is indicative of the fact that you don't really have ANY experience with modern Linux. You can take a well supported laptop and install Linux Mint on it and everything will just work, no tweaking required. Try it sometime before making 10 year old arguments that Mac users were making back in the day and apparently still do now.

Furthermore, Id go even further and argue that as a developer, learning how to configure basic documented things should be something that you know and is fairly straightforward for you to to do, just like installing tooling you need for your development.

> Also, the global 'we' is unhelpful. Have native Americans, Syrians or Greeks never had it so good?

Syrians are starving and in war, so they've been better. The other two examples, undoubtedly yes they are better than ever. For anyone to think it was better in any other time in history for most of the global population than now, shows such a lack of knowledge of history and the human condition that its hard to take serious. For someone so concerned with the future of humanity to create a problem with referring to all humans as "we" is a bit rich.

Scrolling instagram and fake depressions aren't worse than having 7 miscarriages, half your kids dying as babies or children, being enslaved, starving to death and a million other nice things most humans had to deal with that they don't have to deal with now. Basic access to medicine, food stability etc, on a large scale is so much better. We have the fewest people living in poverty there ever was.

Wanting to better ourselves and being aware the Maslow hierarchy continues to create infinite steps should not blind you to the amount of work millions of humans over generations have done to create such an easy mode version of the world for us. To not at least acknowledge it and just say it all sucks is myopic at the minimum.

Maybe I’m wrong, but my impression is that it has been a living-dead service for many years already. I’m old enough to remember when it was actually exciting to use Omegle and chat roulette, but I’ve tried on and off for many years now and my impression is that, even at the slight chance that you got someone other than a naked horny weirdo, nobody was really paying attention to the conversation or interested in anything other than 15-second meaningless interaction. We certainly lost something nice here at some point but I’m not sure it happened today.
> rapid deterioration of our discourse and politics that accompanied it

That has been happening way before Covid.

IMHO it started with the internet. Pre-internet the flow of information is gatekept by traditional media - newspapers, radio, TV, … etc. Everyone watched, listened to, read more or less the same things. This resulted in a more uniform set of opinions and more common ground between people.

The internet broke all that. People could choose what they watch/listen/read and different people picked different things, coming to very different conclusions. In the past you could ask someone if they watched X last night and there is a decent probability they did. Today it’s much harder to find common ground - you could both be on YouTube but watching completely different things.

This simply isn't true. They're not going to be paying for housing and services and having a job if they commit crimes and go to prison. Certain host countries have found that certain immigrant groups tend to have very high crime rates and cause a lot of social problems. And even if they avoid crime and have a job, extremely low-paid immigrants aren't going to be paying much in taxes under a highly progressive taxation scheme.

High-skill immigrants are almost always a big win for the host country because of the things you cite, and more (they bring innovation, start businesses, etc). Low-skill/low-education ones are a crapshoot. It's better to have an inverted population pyramid than deal with all the social ills that come from immigrants that cause too many problems.
The Kubernetes community has this discussion every other week. This article isn't wrong per-se (and it's mostly content marketing, they have articles that are just plain wrong too, like https://home.robusta.dev/blog/containers-dont-use-chroot - i caused the "updated" tag on that one), but it's sweeping in its assertions, ignoring many good reason to set limits.

Workloads that use up all the bursting with little benefit, or prioritizing burst volume for an HTTP server instead of a cronjob that'll finish in designated time anyway. We even had a case where developers weren't updating their requests while their app grew in requirements, and then had an incident on their hand when spare CPU time suddenly was sparse.

Just curious, do you also find the ternary operator hard to parse? This is a serious question: I've found some programmers tend to avoid it entirely, while I think there are some clear cases where it's advantageous to use.

What I'm getting at is one person's "easy to parse" is another person's "difficult to parse", and there may be no objective answer which makes one any better than the other.

On the other hand, you are stuck on a hate-train which blinds you to the simplicity of the details right in front of you.

Always separate assumptions from measures. Doing so reveals undetected surprising foolishness. It’s astonishing how frequently and hard people fail because casual measures are simply too much effort. This identifies potential failure more than anything else.

Don’t let other people’s reliance upon artificial conventions dictate your decisions. People will fight to the death about the most asinine things because they fail to question the foundations or conventions on which they are fighting, as in a faulty premise. This is more common and devastating than it sounds forming the basis of social contagion. Worse, frequently this bad behavior is intentional because most people find security in social groups even when they know they underlying decisions in question are severely flawed. When these situations are encountered it’s best to question the obvious and if necessary remove yourself from the group.
This is not about payments or crypto, eID is the electronic identity card system which also allows you to "Sign in with eID" (like Sign in with Apple) on government websites and organizations that require your real identity to provide service.
That's not really how market works though, if you could make processors that were a million times faster than current ones, there would be demand for much more than 133 000 a year and many people would be ready to pay more than 600$ for them. For comparison, I find on a random Google result that 50 tons of silicon are used per year for CPUs "in the US".

The price of rhenium would skyrocket to million dollars per kg, and as long as production would stay the same (assuming it's limited by raw resource availability rather than just extraction methods) it would keep getting higher.

The current relatively low price of rhenium (relative to its rarity) is simply due to low demand.
True, but the rates of depression and general unhappiness in the West are definitely up from 30 years ago.
Wow, thank you.

So I adhere to the Schützenberger view of automata theory, that the way to explain a semester's finite automata theory to a math major in twenty minutes is via rational power series on noncommuting variables. Change the semiring from true/false to probabilities and one gets hidden Markov chain theory.

So how do nondeterministic transition systems fit into this picture? I'm guessing that the connection should blow my mind with a new way to see power series?
Rust can be used as C, because it has pointers, like C. However, Rust has better syntax, more syntax sugar, automatic memory management, automatic memory manager and borrow checker. So, Rust is simpler than C to learn.

There was no argument to defend to, only a misconception to correct.

But, if you really want to make the argument that "we shouldn't fill the catacombs", then feel free to petition the IGC, because it is "they", not "we", who are in charge. Be more precise in your petition, though, because "the catacombs" is a very specific and profitable part of the system that no one ever thought of filling up with anything but tourists.

FWIW, I haven't gone down there for nearly three decades so I don't care one bit about the catacombs and the cataphiles. While I have very fond memories of the time I spent down there when I was younger, I moved on, as most people did. If "they" need to fill up a short section somewhere to prevent collapse during the new Metro works, I am fine with it.
