I'm not aware of any existing or even near-future feasible renewable solution for indoor heating over the winter months in northern climates, other than nuclear.

Nuclear exists, it's proven, it works. And it's not even that expensive. We could build two of the famously overpriced Georgia nuclear plant for the price one guy paid to shut down a social media website. We could build three of them for the price Microsoft paid to buy a video game company. And we could definitely get prices down if we actually wanted to. I think it's really, really bad policy to be quibbling over pennies when discussing solutions to this literally civilization-ending catastrophe that is staring us in the face. We have to do both. If you're worried about economics, it's way more expensive not to be building out every solution we have available to us.

Nuclear is a good solution in many cases. It does us no good to just take it off the table, at least until we actually have better solutions.

Casey Neistat changed vlogging forever with his daily vlogs from 2015-2017. He brought cinematic skills to a genre previously seen as lacking potential.

Deviant art, Flickr, and many other sites, along with Creative commons licenses provide a good way to share with a community, and find audiences in a consensual manner.

With GitHub, GitLab and the others, open source projects, tools and techniques are easier than ever to share and fork.

Thanks to 3d printing, low cost CNC routers, etc... and the maker movement, you can now make things that previously required a machine shop, at home.

It's amazing. What a great time to be alive!

But my friends have been laid off, and I've yet to hear of any of them getting more than 1 week per year worked. But I don't have any friends that work for big tech (I live in the Midwest, a lot easier to not know anyone in big tech here). A lot of insurance, health, and financial companies around here, not too many Facebook or Apple or Netflix offices.

Yes, that's because you're doing them wrong.

Don't mess around with the "golden master" testing (edit: seems the frontend ecosystem call that "Snapshot Testing" actually, but it's the same) you see bunch of projects do, that compare the old DOM vs the new DOM you accept/deny changes based on component render output. That's a waste of time and won't actually prevent bugs.

Instead, extract the logic-heavy parts out from your components, then put those under unit tests, like any other code you write.

Boom, easy to maintain, verifies your implementation and makes your UI easier and faster to refactor and build in the first place.
Tell HN: People laid off in my company due to IRS Section 174 changes
30 engineers were laid off from the company I work for that does consulting for a US customer. The reason given was that the company’s runway got blown up due to the inflated tax bill they received as a consequence of Section 174 changes that require software development to be capitalized and amortized over 15 years (international).

Sharing this here as I don’t see much noise about this issue here or on mainstream media and just wondering how other small business and startups are handling this.

I guess I'm not very inclined to believe that there is more primary residential demand than there is real estate.

I think the renter population is the most straightforward proxy for primary residential demand. Those are people who are actually paying to live there. Because they go to UCSC, work, have kids, whatever. We know the rental population is 60% of the actual SC housed population. Of that, maybe 80% have primary residential demand (students, etc. might make up the balancing 20%).

So that's ~50% primary residential demand. I'm sure that some proportion of the housing stock that belongs to non-renting people belongs to people who are residents, but I'm relatively bearish on that. Even if only 25% are vacation homes, second homes, etc. that leaves us with a marginal 30% primary residential demand and a cumulative primary residential demand of 80%. So for every 100 homes there's demand for 80.

On surging. I'd say if you want to move your family to Santa Cruz as resident owners, we would love to have you. If you can afford to pay more than the people who already live here and are paying rent, I agree that's a shit situation.

I guess you could ban nonresident buyers for the first N years or something? That might be one degree of complexity too far, but I agree that's a shortcoming that one should have a plan for.

I think it's really difficult to enact these kinds of programs at the municipal level – it really has to be done at the state level. You'd still end up with weird border scenarios, where you have a 80% resident homeowner utopia on one side of the border with nevada, where all the labor for that town reside in 80% renter dystopia on the other side.
> I'd still assume that the bulk of Dropbox users are the kind who wouldn't want to figure out `rsync`.

That's because OS's don't bother to support rsync with good UX. That's what the old "My Briefcase" feature in Windows 9x was all about. It even had special-case support for difference merging (or "reconciliation") which rsync alone doesn't quite provide.
It's mostly that I find property values as a proxy for acquisition prices somewhat disingenuous because it perpetuates thinking of single-family houses as the housing model given that's what presently exists to be valued.

If you're concerned about what it will cost someone to acquire someplace to live, come out and say that. Don't couch it in language that opens the conversation for devaluing what we already have.
To the point of a lot of this discussion, isn't Option A already in operation for most commercial purposes?

Contract law often gets into what is a statement of "material fact" vs. what is a statement of opinion. For example, a company can be sued for a statement like "contains 100% beef" and not for "delicious beef flavor" if the item in question has no beef in it. These torts are different from libel or slander, but they are often upheld in court. Misrepresentations can also be classified into honest mistakes or knowingly committing fraud. I think "most sane people" would argue the ability to sue over false claims of material fact are important commercial regulations.

Spotify is only a starting point but as you already know the amount of musicians on Spotify is huge so If I get the product right with them, it'll be easy to integrate with other platforms too.

> Not using or recognizing the design system as an internal source of truth.

My experience has been that engineers and designers try, but can't do so. New projects tend not to be fully covered by the design system. This is almost tautological. New things are new.

Yes, maybe they thought about what they want calendars to look like, but only for the case of picking a date, not displaying a weekly schedule.

At one company this meant they kept gluing new things onto the design system, and at another company it meant we met with them every release and got told not to worry about it.

Decoding Google's confusing new location data settings
Strongly disagree. I went to an average school in Russia where I was from one of the poorest families, then hung out a few times with people from a selective maths focused school where I was invited but didn't go to because I was lazy, then later lived for a few years in a worse neighborhood and hung out with my neighbors (ranging from ex cons to people working construction and loading dock), and I've worked in tech obviously.

Sure there are better and worse people everywhere, but on average the more meritocratic the system, the more poor people suck! With the exception of immigrants who start from 0.

In completely non-meritocratic system like Soviet Union you could have people living next door to each other in similar conditions, who went to the same schools and had the same opportunities, and one would be a Physics professor and the other a raging alcoholic. A system where equality is not forced just sorts them better.

Many people are really much better than others at most things, including merely being a decent worker/friend/partner. And many are worse

Ask HN: Why is JavaScript fast than C++ for simple calculations?
Just for fun, like for playing around, I tried improving a simple algorithm to find prime numbers in Python.

I was able to improve the speed from 6 seconds with a simple algorithm to 33 milliseconds with a more improved algorithm (looking for all primes up to 50k here, a more detailed description can be found there [1][2], this is the simple "algorith" - not much surprising:

def isPrime(number):
for i in range(2, number):

if (number % i) == 0:
return False

return True

So I tried the same for JavaScript. The simple algorithm took 212 milliseconds, the improved one finished after 3 milliseconds.

So I wondered, what else can I test? I increased the upper bounds to 100 Mio. JavaScript took around 40 seconds. Using Cything I was able improve the running time to 70 seconds.

And I also tried Rust and C++ (disclaimer: I'm not a Rust or C++ developer!)

Rust was a desaster, I had to stop it after 5 Minutes. The first compiliation for C++ leads to a algorithm that tooks 70 seconds - almost double the time as JavaScript! After a little research I found out, that I can tune the compiling a little, which leads to a running time of 40 seconds.

So, still I wonder, in simple words: How can JavaScript be as fast as C++? (which probably only applies to simple mathmatics...)

Personally I object to calling it hacking (it the popular/mass media sense).

If a company hires me to inspect their systems, and it's not shady (i.e. everything seems legitimate), then I'm not hacking anything. It's really no different to working on a CRUD (well, it's more interesting :)).

There might be some legal provisions (DRM laws, some EULA, etc.) that muddy the water. But that doesn't change the fact, that I can't find any ethical problem with what the Dragon Sector folks did[1]. And for me hacking is something unethical--criminal aspect is secondary.

Specifically, Merrill and Oakes college have that parking lot, and there's a parking structure by the Earth/sciences building, and another one up above college 11, and several more. Once you get on campus though, there's a reasonably good shuttle to take you around campus, so you just need to park somewhere on campus and then give yourself enough time to take the shuttle to your destination. If you're living on campus, you only need to get off campus to go to the local downtown bar scene, or for other extracurriculars, but there's a bus that takes you downtown so as a student you can get away with not having a car.

Bay Area’s fiber and broadband network is a joke. That it’s the tech capital of the world makes it so much worse. Things are improving - I got fiber in 2020 - and speeds are trending upwards with some local completion. AT&T and Comcast are finally getting a bit better with speed. Coverage still sucks. Number of available options still suck. Not to mention weird collusions between Comcast and apt management companies and other anti-competitive behaviour. Then there’s PG&E using various excuses to block using their poles to expand the network.

By who? Your phrasing suggests it was a part of Hamas' terrorism campaign.

Central to the conflict is the Israeli refusal to accept responsibility for the current state of affairs, or to recognize any conception of proportionality. "We f*cked up, and we have not treated Palestinian life as equal to Israeli life," would go a long way towards reconciliation, but Israel will never admit wrongdoing even in the face of actually having committed wrongdoing.
