You bring up an interesting point: why don’t developers build walkable communities in the suburbs or exurbs, or even in brand new cities? It would be nice if a developer built a “Nuevo San Francisco” or even a “Nuevo Palo Alto” somewhere in the Central Valley, especially if it could be tied to the upcoming California High Speed Rail line. Yet developers continue to build car-dependent neighborhoods.

Now, granted, this won’t solve the problem of housing in San Francisco and other areas with rich job markets but extremely expensive housing. Having to commute three hours away is still a problem. But for those who are willing or able to leave the Bay Area, why aren’t developers generally only building car-dependent suburbs instead of walkable towns and cities?
And also for playing with Taal, an unintended use-case is: you could write a composition in one Taal, and then change the Taal to see how sounds in another Taal. Of course since the cycle won't end on the Sam in the new Taal, it won't sound as clean.

Question: Do you think it'll be useful to record vocals along with it? That way one can vocalize Meends and other ornamental features without having to write it.
On the other hand, SIP commonly has issues like one-way calls because all the data channels don't connect correctly. Easy peasy calling landlines though, it just runs through an ATA on the customer side and treats calls as a regular data stream. That's how our FTTH service is moving people from DSL+landline to fiber to feed all their services, including cable.

I'm similar.

It allows me to skip over code and not thoroughly read it.

ie. a colour for variables, methods, objects, strings, numbers.

So I can see a bit of code and see it's {variable}.{MethodName}({string}, {number}) and can generalise what that code is doing without needing to read the entire line and parse it myself.

> the existence of interest is what causes ups and downs in economies

You arent even making as extreme of a claim. You’re saying interest rates and business cycles are linked. Not that interest rates are what cause ups and downs in the economy. Think about it: if that were true, and we removed interest rates, the economy couldnt go down? Its an absurd claim.

I understand why the state is applying pressure, and SF’s building and planning departments are embarrassingly dysfunctional and corrupt.

Still, I firmly believe that a democracy works better when there is local control. San Francisco is already the most densely populated city in California, with three times the density of LA. If it is the wish of the people of SF to go slow on development, is that really unreasonable?
You can make the calling interface look like that (that’s definitely good), but the implementations in the example were still very document centric inline html. It all just seems like it’s a lot more low level work than it ought to be. I feel much the same way when using a (bad) orm: there’s just a vague feeling that the solution isn’t quite an appropriate fit to the problem. Maybe this gets better when you’re composing from a library of core components, I don’t know. Again, I’m very much an outsider here.

I’m not saying that old GUI component frameworks are vastly superior either. I just imagined that we’d have progressed well past the kind of approach the article is mentioning.

It’s a side rant, but I don’t think it’s entirely without merit.

It seems to be happening. A group of wealthy investors including Laurene Powell Jobs, Marc Andreessen, and Reid Hoffman are building a "utopian city for the tech elite" in Solano County. Until we see more details I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But previous attempts to build whole new artificial cities have mostly failed.

I'm a different person than above, I have brain damage, and I got all of the information I posted from the article. I get it that some crypto company bought Bounty Source. But in the article they said, "bounties were handled by Team NewPipe. I had set up the account for Team NewPipe on Bountysource, which accumulated a significant sum of money over the years."

I understand that they have a lot of volunteers and it isn't easy to get a consensus. Maybe they should have thought of that first? Or perhaps just make a decision and let it be known it would be happening in X period of time that unless there was significant outrage that they were going to do X? Even if they were never going to cash out of the deal, they could have used it to pay other bounties to get work done. Or sit on all that money until it evaporates.

"but we did not want to get paid for working on a passion project" If they didn't want the cash in the first place they could have put it towards something else open source. Plus they are complaining about not getting paid while saying they didn't want to get paid. This would scare away anyone wanting to help if they are going to go about things this way, but I don't know because apparently I didn't read the article.

Ironic that now, in hindsight, we see that the N64's 3D hardware is more sophisticated except for the texture size limit. The PS1 doesn't even have a z-buffer. But that would probably be hard to explain to the general public.
I was trying to make a comparison with the SNES, which had a huge list of amazing 3rd party exclusives, in addition to the first party must-haves.

It would not be difficult to build a library of several hundred great games for the SNES. Compared to that, the N64 was a huge step back! After picking up the first party games, can you even make a decent top 20 third party games? It’s brutal!
I like Cory, but the problem with useful lenses is that naughty kids use them to roast ants in the sunlight. If people just used them as lenses, they would indeed be useful. As they are being currently used, it's causing people to give up. After all, everything's shitty. Burn it all down, right?

Edited to add: This is the problem with what happened at Reddit, and it's what's happening at Twitter. People are expending all this energy to point out how horrible it is, and not spending any energy making anything better. There is no activism, only destruction. It's not helping. Terms like "enshittification" are self-fulfilling prophecies.
> > Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.

I very much doubt it. YC has an explicit list of European-based companies in their portfolio; they have posted job ads on HN for positions that were based exclusively in EU countries, and continue to do so as far as I can tell.

In point of fact content sites refuse bogus takedown requests all the time. But where there's ambiguity they're clearly not going to stick their neck out for some rando app author.

Market forces are great. Everyone for whom it was important spent the extra money and went to macOS. Don’t remember seeing Candy Crush in my start menu on macOS for one decade, and I distinctly remember the quality of browsing (no obnoxious popups, no Askbar, not having to download software like 7zip or Notepad++ from dodgy websites) was my argument back then.

Maybe it’s not so important to you that you’d spend the extra money.

This is technically true but kind of misses the point in my opinion. A neural network can approximate any function in theory but that doesn't mean it has to do so in a reasonable amount of time and with a reasonable amount of resources. For example, take the function that gives you the prime factors of an integer. It is theoretically possible for a neural network to approximate this for an arbitrarily large fixed window but is provably infeasible to compute on current hardware. In theory, a quantum computer could compute this much faster.

This is not to say that the human brain leverages quantum effects. It's just a well known example where the hardware and a specific algorithm can be shown to matter.

I also think it's strange to describe the brain as implementing a function. Functions don't exist. We made them up to help us think about building useful circuits (among other things). In this scenario, we would be implementing functions to help us simulate what is going on in brains.
I'm perfectly aware of the history of diamond rings and De Beers' marketing campaign. I just don't think this analogy works very well, and it really seems like it came out of left field. The diamond-ring thing is really about following the crowd, and whether it's ok to ignore certain social customs because it might make your spouse's friends think you're cheap or uncommitted.

Blocking ads has nothing to do with people thinking you're cheap, and certainly nothing to do with commitment to a relationship, or your prospective spouse's opinion of you. It's only about whether you're somehow morally obligated to pay attention to advertising that comes along with something free. There's nothing at all free about diamond engagement rings.

It might be fun if you get the right group of friends together. Until one of them has to leave and now everyone has to pay more rent, or a new roommate moves in and everyone hates him.

I got tired of the roommate thing in college very quickly after having a roommate with terrible hygiene who refused to clean and ate my food.

I say exclusive because a lot of the non-exclusive games (ports) had severe compromises which meant they were way better on other systems (PS1 or PC). Compare any of the sports games on the N64 to their PS1 counterparts and the difference is stark.

I'm going to operate under the assumption that you're replying in good faith and truly don't recognize the racist and anti-Semitic dog whistles all throughout the article. I'll highlight some of them for you.

Btw, if you aren't familiar with dog whistles, read this first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics)

Here is an anti-Semitic dog whistle that promotes the conspiracy theory that Jews control the media:

>Working with journalists was an enlightening experience. There were some amazing people, but I found many to be arrogant and self-centered. It was frustrating to me that such people were the gatekeepers that millions of people got their news on the world through.

The uses of "arrogant" and "self-centered" are dog whistles for anti-Semitic tropes about Jews being elitists and selfish, respectively, and the part about them being gatekeepers of the news refers to the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews control the media.

Here we have two dog whistles in one sentence:

>I had gotten used to the fake politeness and backstabbing at the newspaper.

The "fake politeness" line is an anti-Semitic dog whistle intended to promote the idea of Jews being sneaky and untrustworthy. The word "backstabbing" is a dog whistle for the anti-Semitic Stab-in-the-back myth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth

Here is the author getting a little more explicit about what they're talking about:

>After the 2020 “racial reckoning” we saw the rapid increase in new social policies based on this logic.

Here is another dog whistle where the author refers to a person with a traditionally Jewish last name, which they directly associate with having secret evil intentions and hidden political power:

>In additional, activist public intellectuals such as Stephen J Gould sold a willing public on beliefs that were based less on science than egalitarian hopes and dreams.

These explanations have their merit, but I think they are too kind for assuming good intentions. Throughout human history, the powerful have sought to mystify the source of their power, whether it be through religion, divine mandate or royal inheritance.

I could go on, the article is absolutely full of racist and anti-Semitic dog whistles. Do you really not see them?
