I'm yet to see a holistic review of housing. Yes corporate ownership is bad, I think, however the availability of land is also a problem, the cost of building, which is driven by the cost of materials and labour.

Arbitrarily capping one part of the problem I have doubts will help overall, and possibly make the situation worse.

Eg if we block wall Street investment, and could that money go into other areas and increase competition for materials and labour and make it harder and more expensive to build homes?

How is the 'genitive case of Bangla word' a good example? This function's signature contains many hard-coded language specific assumptions.

- Bangla according to the function has only few irregularities, rest is algorithmic transformation of the word given

- Many languages have a huge number of irregularities

- Many languages express case information somewhere else in the sentence-construct, so it's not just a word-transform.

This very much seems to try to replicate the machine-translation efforts of foregone ages.
Well that's Deepmind I guess ?

No only the basics related to survival have evolved instincts. modern concepts like abortion did not have millions of years of natural selection to evolve instincts.

However it is universally reviled to kill babies or rape toddlers and slice their faces off for food. This is identical across all cultures. The basest morals are universal and so is disgust, the high level ideologies like abortion are just made up.

These high level ideologies are attempts to make sense of moral instincts that only existed to help us survive. For example abortion. It's the extension of your instincts to avoid killing. At what point does decapitating the head of a fetus to abort the birth become disgusting? The third trimester or before that? You're trying to rationalize your base moral instincts into a codification of law. It's almost pointless because these moral instincts weren't evolved to be logically cohesive anyway. They're just like feelings of hunger and pain.

Evolution never had to answer that question so it didn't give us any answers. But decapitating a 1 year old baby? Now that's universally reviled because it effected the survival of the human race. It's so reviled that I may even get voted down for using this as an example. It's the perfect example though, the revulsion is so much stronger than abortion that some people can sense that it's not a cultural thing but more of an inborn instinct.

The practical consequence of abortion and decapitating a 1 day year old baby are virtually identical though. But even someone who is against abortion will still sense a gigantic difference. That sense is an illusion, a biological instinct that bypasses your rational thought.

Better than transferring what remaining wealth I have to the billionaire managerial class who spews out untruthful propaganda that makes my life worse. They also happen to demonize Russians.

Look, the Russians are humans just like us. They have their interests just like we do. The Russians have given the West many warnings to not spread Nato, to not arm Nazi extremists in Ukraine, & to not persecute the Russian speaking Ukrainians. However, the West backed the Maidan Coup to topple the Ukranian democracy in 2014, armed Nazi extremists who carried out atrocities against civilians, & kept on spreading Nato in spite of Russia's soverign interests.

Are you truly surprised that Putin acted how he did? Are you also surprised that a bear attacks after you poke at it? Let's be real here...If you really care about the Ukranian people, you would support peace...because the Ukranians have pregnant women, old men, & teenagers forced into service fighting on the front lines at this point. Their entire county has been decimated.
That's still a compatibility layer, though, because the windows API is implemented on top of the Linux/UNIX APIs/ABIs. If it wasn't a compatibility layer it would run on any OS.

The code fundamentally does do more stuff because anything strictly OS related (by the standards of the host OS) has an additional layer of indirection. The fact that it's still faster is truly impressive.
I can never get excited about E2EE encryption... It's not because it isn't important, it's because while I've lived I've had 2 phones die in my hands, 2 family members have lost phones (one of which is sitting at the bottom of an ocean and is clearly unrecoverable), and phones are consumables that change every few years.

I see there's some effort here on history sharing. Does that effort allow recovery of a chat history after an unrecoverable death of a primary phone? That's (honestly) the only usability thing I care about when it comes to E2EE.
Presumably the reward amount is random with a few people getting dramatically more than everyone else. As if you got an entry into a lottery as a reward.
The packaging was a major reason for switching to btrfs. I run sudo dnf upgrade and that's it, my system is upgraded. Zero issues ever. With ZFS I had to pin to older kernel versions, not to mention a bunch of manual steps and cleanup after any major version upgrade (every 6-12 months).

Re btrfs raid 5/6, yes everyone knows about this, and this is why I have it only on my backup system. My primary data which holds 15TB of family photos and videos is on raid 1. The offsite is there only for the time my house burns down.[1]

[1] I watched my neighbor's house go up in flames 2 years ago, and it finally got me going on setting up remote backups. The fire spread to 3 other houses, and everything happened very, very quickly. No one got hurt, but multiple families got displaced for more than a year. Besides having backups , it's also a good reminder to have adequate insurance. One neighbor did not.
I went with the Fujifilm 150-600mm F5.6-8 and I’m shooting on an X-T5.

Because it’s an APS-C sensor, it’s a 225-900mm full frame equivalent focal length.

I had tried the Fuji 70-300 with a 1.4X teleconverter before that, and while it’s a nice lens in a small package, I wad unhappy with the reach. The 150-600 is pretty great so far, but is not good in low light.

Well, they spend money on rich old people in the South, who vote for them. Up to now anyway. To the people in the North, Scotland and possibly also NIreland, they say "times are tough and we must all make sacrifices".

They had a go at telling the North how they will be showered with money for levelling up, and reaped unprecedented votes there. But I believe they did precisely 0% of what they promised and are probably toast in the polls there for a generation.

Except their national support is around 25% recently so even the Southerners seem fed up. I guess old people need healthcare...
What ICC color profile do you use? do you use a driver setting like NVIDIA digital vibrance? what DPIs are you using?

Are you using font antialiasing? if so, what font hinting setting are you using? are you using subpixel ordering?

What CPU frequency scaling governor setting are you using? What power setting did you set for your GPU? NVIDIA has Powermizer settings which have adaptive clocking for the GPU and there's a GUI control panel for it that comes with the driver.

Most of what you've mentioned here sounds like you misconfigured your system (e.g.: wacky fonts). Default settings often do not produce the problems you've mentioned.

If you have a HiDPI setup like a 4K screen, simply set your resolution to 4k (3840 x 2160), scaling to 2x, 96 DPI and get a proper font of your liking. You can even get the fonts used on Windows if you install the TrueType font file (I think "Segoe UI Variable Regular" is the font name you would be looking for), with anti-aliasing y hinting set to Slight.
> now trying to break into a real job and making an effort to actually grasp data structures beyond dynamic arrays

OK, for an entry level to junior programmer trying to get into the mid-career levels it's possible that leetcode problems are useful for weeding out garbage programmers, folks who went to a code camp program and don't know anything about data structures and algorithms. These days what's called "senior" is, thanks to title inflation, really a mid-level job at best. For genuine senior work, which is sometimes called Staff or Principal level, the important skills are softer. There's a point where pure programming skills are complementary to the ability to understand and work with the business and understand how the organization generates revenue. At that point, whatever title it might have, the ability to solve an easy leetcode problem has no bearing on the ability to do the work expected. The challenges at that level are not "how do you code X", but rather "does coding X solve a problem that contributes to revenue, why or why not?"
What kind of article is this? So in 30 years we where not supposed to equalize the country?

And from England nonetheless?

Apart from the recruiting and financial circles England is more on par with Poland that it is with any real western country...

This literally has been this way for more than 20 years now, we are even closing hospitals and banks because we have to many.

Finally this article has shown that even the level of cambridge has sunk, so maybe the title should read "how england has fallen constantly for the last 200 years".

> "A language that doesn't change how you think about programming isn't worth knowing

I don’t think it’s a good quote with such a bold claim, but I agree with the core of it: you should try to learn languages that have different paradigms. There is still value in knowing two quite similar languages.
Manhattan and SF has built almost no housing over the past several decades, and demand has continued to rise anyway, causing skyrocketing prices. Those metro areas are proving the exact opposite point you are trying to make. Building more housing is not what is creating more demand.
Same here. I use "c.<bookmark-name>" so that I can hit "c." and tab twice to see all my available bookmarks.

Then I created a little bash f function:

bookmark <bookmark-name>

... that adds such an alias pointing to the current folder to my aliases file, and sources it.

The source, if anybody is interested:

bookmark() {
if [[ ! $1 ]]; then
echo "Please provide a bookmark name (will be prepended with 'c.'):";
read name;
else
name=$1;
fi
dir=$(pwd);
echo "alias c.$name='c $dir'" >> ~/.bash_aliases_local
source ~/.bash_aliases_local
}

Very efficient!

The reason I use c. rather than cd. is partly because I use an alias "c" all the time instead of "cd", that does all of this:

- cd into the folder

- run ls -ltr to see my last modified files at the bottom near the prompt.

- create an empty like with echo

- run pwd to print out the current folder path.

This was after I ran statistics on my bash history file and realized I constantly running ls -ltr and sometimes pwd in new folders.

This is a really interesting contrast with the comment from farther up:

If we're contrasting those two concepts, Picasso seems to have been much better at painting-the-career than he was at painting-the-skill.
Is the Canadian budget inflated by the tax revenues of Canada's many mining companies? I wonder what total tax collected per capita looks like.
Still, fixed size pixels arranged in a line, where each pixel's position is described by a single coordinate, could be called a 1-dimensional arrangement of pixels. You could do the same with voxels, or corn fields of 1 ha each, or hypercubes.
On the second point, you were replying while I was updating my comment, sorry about that. I know it's a controversial opinion, but from the perspective of the EU, I think having regulation that effectively only targets US Tech makes sense for the reasons mentioned above. It may not exactly be 'fair game', but to anyone who thinks the US isn't doing the exact same thing, I'm sure Airbus executives for one would have some enlightening stories.

On the first point, I think user rights trump developer convenience, so I stand by what I said.

>Again, folks say the cookie banners are not required, but even the EU web managers are unable to build a site without them.

They have a pretty interesting explanation of each cookie they use:

https://european-union.europa.eu/cookies_en

What I never quite understand is the analytics issue. We had server logs for analytics long before everyone started using cookies for that.

In my opinion the cookie part of GDPR is clearly bad regulation. It requires cookie banners for some things that are not privacy issues. And at the same time it doesn't institute a sensible consent mechanism that doesn't in practice amount to constant harassment.
A game of soccer lasts 90 minutes regulation time.
That's like going after the telephone book publishers for providing the number of the escort service.
The appropriations bill example also looks right—the insertion doesn’t stylistically match the rest of the document. I’m much more skeptical of evaluations if this is how the sausage gets made. Feels like bullshit artistry.
> It is also important to remember that attestation based on TPM has a lot of limitations in terms of runtime visibility.

For sure. Secure attested boot at best attests all the code ostensibly loaded, but it can't do anything about vulnerabilities in that code or in code that's responsible for that loading.

It's a mess.
Banning investors from owning homes will do NOTHING to alleviate the housing crisis. The problem is lack of supply, not the capital structure of the supply. We will never solve the housing crisis as long as people like you continue to deny basic economics and refuse to acknowledge the basic supply and demand problem that is causing rents and home prices to skyrocket.
I DO NOT want to see any articles that have no tech in them.

That means:

- No articles that with analogies that don't say anything of value.

- No articles full of some random person's journey.

- No marketingspeak. If marketers don't understand the tech in the first place, they shouldn't be trying to write about it, let alone trying to pad something out to a word limit.

- No hopes and dreams. Marketers want to promise anything and everything. Real progress is made incrementally, when it's done. Markets should instead write about interesting anecdotes we find along the way.

- No standard issue times. Value is sometimes spread out, and sometimes clustered together. Issues should match real value, not an interval. Otherwise you end up saying nothing when there is nothing to say, and miss out when there is something worth saying.

If you want to show something to marketers, show them some videos of Sabine Hossenfelder ripping apart yet another bullshit marketing press release or argument about a popular topic. (Personally I'd recommend her video on fusion) You don't need to know the science before hand, because she'll explain what the science actually is, and why the press release and other marketing is wrong. Make a list of every kind of trope those press releases fall into and turn them into a checklist of what to avoid for your own releases.
I am one of those senior engineers who regularly code and dare I say produce optimal solutions quickly.

I still fail at coding interviews, and I attribute it to the gamification fatigue and age.

Please understand me. I have a leetcode account but I can not force myself into solving puzzles in my free time after solving them all day long at work. And puzzles at work are more interesting, because they are real people's problems.

I avoid board games for similar reasons. Whenever I sit in and play, I enjoy being in the flow, the conversation, and the intellectual challenge. But dragging me in is damn hard.

On the other side, I am much more into sports nowadays: running, swimming, skiing and hiking, as if I was making up for my younger years spent in front of a screen.

I feel like I have to carefully choose where to apply my intelligence because I am not as resourceful as I was. But I am wiser.

Would you hire me? No. Would I be a net positive for you business even if I cost double your younger self? Probably yes.
Exactly this is the reason I do it. The "knowledge" part will fade if it isn't applied regularily. If I manage to convey a deeper understanding of how things are intertwined or at least the feeling that it is actually possible to understand things and that curiosity is king, that is all I can do.

It is an art school after all. I will never turn all of them into low level systems programmers, but I can give them enough understanding of the tech world that it can become the topic of art without making people with a tech background cringe.

And some of them take this as a starting point to go way deeper.
Well, until now it was also quite OK to just be intelligent and maybe hard working. I'd venture a guess that most of this site is doing well by the virtue of being born with efficient brains - and that would offset not being pretty or otherwise talented. Not for much longer, possibly :-(
And that is active playing time, not just standing around and waiting things to happen...
I was trained in singing in elementary school and then again in high school.

I made an honor choir or two. (This would be a significant accomplishment if I was female, which I am not. They'll take pretty much any boy who can hit the right notes.)

Years ago I recovered from a cold except that the phlegm in my throat didn't go away. It is still with me. If I try to sing, my voice will just cut out on certain pitches, and sometimes I'll get a gurgling effect from the phlegm.

I would like to be able to sing again.

Show HN: Drf-API-action – A new way to test you rest-framework project
Hi HN! I’m proud to share my new first open-source project drf-api-action.

This project was built as a side project at work in which we had to tweak DRF for our own needs, this project was successful back then so I wanted
to publish it to everyone :)

The drf-api-action Python package is designed to elevate your testing experience for Django Rest Framework (DRF) REST endpoints. With the custom decorator api-action, this package empowers you to effortlessly test your REST endpoints as if they were conventional functions.

Features:

Simplified Testing: Testing DRF REST endpoints using the api-action decorator, treating them like regular functions.

Seamless Integration: Replacing DRF's action decorator with api-action in your WebViewSet seamlessly.

Exception Handling: Instead of getting a response with an error code, get the real traceback that led to the error.

Pagination Support: Paginating easily through pages by a single kwarg.

Please let me know what you think/ any feedback.
It means a lot since it's my first open-source project :)

I still have a physical subscription and I will say they do a good job offering content that you can read and it doesn't already feel terribly dated. Yes, often the topics are stuff you'll have browsed over in the last 30 days but the articles are still well written and worth a read (provided you haven't spent too much time on wired.com (I don't)). But the magazine feels so lite now, almost like a special physical edition of their website. The photo of Grimes on the cover recently was nice, maybe they could lean in a bit more on pictorial and photographic content, if it's days aren't already numbered.
