Interesting that he chose to photograph in (1) vertical on (2) a wide lens.

(1) Sceneries in general tend to feel horizontal. But I suppose you can still find vertical perspectives with street photography given that buildings are rather vertical as well.

(2) Wide angle means more coverage, showing more people in the shot, which tends to make composition difficult. Typically a good photo focuses on a subject. However, Martin Bond manages to compose and focus on a subject.

Also, wide angles introduce distortion of subjects along the edge of the photo. That shows in his photos, but are not too distracting.

Abusing the market is also deeply detrimental to social cohesion.

Many market actors have an expectation of fairness with the parties they transact with, but this expectation can only be realized if parties maintain some degree of honesty with each other.

One set of actors (some landlords) is not being honest by withholding a very constrained resource (housing) from the marketplace. Their dishonesty is causing a direct impact to many tenants by artificially raising rents.

The increasing cost of rent is very noticeable and only encourages a growing adversarial relationship between tenants and landlords.
Yes, I have to always remember the sink cost fallacy… but remember it can also motivate you to continue on when times are tough so that you do not give up

Even if it takes a hundred hours to become comfortable with an IDE, a DAW or a CAD tool, over the time a professional will spend using the tool in total that's usually a relatively small investment. Flattening the learning curve in such cases should never happen at the expense of "power use".

Other software has to smooth out the initial learning curve more aggressively. Yet other software doesn't or shouldn't, but unfortunately attempts to do so anyway.

The same happened to the Toronto Public Library around the same time, probably coincidence rather than connected. It has made me reflect on the breadth of non-traditional public services provided by libraries. I noticed because I was looking for practice questions for the Canadian citizenship test, and one of two non-profit sets is from the TPL (the other is from Richmond Public Library), and now it's no longer available anywhere.

It's not clear to me whether moving this role to the lowest level of government is a good idea or not: citizenship is one of the key responsibilities of the federal government, but it probably is better facilitated via new immigrant welcoming programmes which are usually community based. However, it seems pretty clear that if that is being done then we need to provide the resources to do so properly.

Also libraries are great.

I heard this advocated by TDD (Test Driven Development) practitioners.

Normal cycle is

1. Write test that will fail or not compile
2. Run it
3. Write code to make it pass
4. Refactor
5. Go to 1

This was part of my problem with Space Engineers. I had 5k hours in that game when i put it down, abd more than half of that was modding time, where i was either building or debugging one of the many mods i had. I eventually put it down because of the scummy things KSWH were doing, and tried to find people to take over my mods.

I agree, modding is fun, but its unfortunately a surefire way to stop me from playing the game. Once you get a look at the code you have to deal with, tactics the game devs pull, etc, just not worth doin anymore.

I find tool dev to be more fun, and more rewarding
I use Arc, a paid app to track my location that stores this data on my device and only on my device. It has a good but not great UI to explore this on device, make corrections on transport types which are by default inferred by machine learning, mark and manage points of interest. The UI is somewhat complex so it's not the easiest to use, but it's easy enough after a while.

Since you explicitly mentioned moving away from Google, I'll note that the app has an opt-in integration with Google Places. You have to click a "Search Google Places" button to activate it so you won't accidentally use it.

It's self-hosted in the sense that it's just an app.

This change has been discussed as an unfortunate legislative oversight, something that both parties want to fix but, by gosh, Congress just can’t seem to figure out how to get it on their busy agenda.

However, from my perspective, I see this as a clever way to depress developer salaries which have risen in recent years. This tax change makes small companies and startups much less viable, so there will be fewer places for developers to work. As others have noted, it will also alleviate competitive pressure faced by the entrenched players.

Given these lobbyist-friendly “side effects”, I wonder if we will ever see this trash taken out.

It's probably better, on a technical level, than any of the fediverse stuff. I understand that Usenet works as a gossip protocol with nodes sharing everything they have (and haven't filtered) while Fediverse usually relies on directly contacting the origin server over IP. The integration between different instances on Mastodon and Lemmy is nothing like Usenet. The integration in the Fediverse is limited to following users, liking posts and replying to posts on other servers, using your federated identity on your server.

Quick note: on mobile, the text inputs for the clients is forcing all the text to be very tiny, and you need to manually zoom in to read it.
The 3-step plan you just outlined is: (1) Identify a group of people with insurmountable, systemic advantages that you don't expect can be overcome. (2) Develop an adversarial relationship with them. (3) Assume you're going to get some wins from time to time.

You should reflect on that. There are a surprising number of problems in the approach you're going with there - both logical and strategic. Picking fights is actually a political tactic for preserving the status quo; it creates a force to oppose the change you want. If you don't like the status quo you should avoid taking adversarial stances. Like setting up hotlines to report people to the government; it rarely ends well.
Facebook and Reddit are better ways to talk to people, but you're already here on Hacker News so it's apparent they don't suit your tastes. If you're concerned about Internet centralization, learning other systems that may be less centralized is great, but you know you won't be using it to talk to people you'd talk to on Facebook. And if you're concerned about the Internet itself, you learn ham radio.
Trees, for one, have evolved convergently several times. You could arguably include those giant early fungus, too. Given land, trees will follow.

Land mostly requires that your planet doesn't have too much water. Plate tectonics helps, but I'm not sure it's required.
And they generally get outcompeted sooner or latter.

I'm with the other poster. The N95 was a wonderful phone, with the emphasis being on the word "phone". It also could so ssh, and was a web browser of sorts and other things, but it was a phone first with excellent battery life. Even so it was better at most things that early Android, and possibly the very early iPhones.

But that was never going to last. Once CPU's developed sufficient horsepower and there was enough RAM, the fully fledged OS's underneath Android and iPhone meant they could easily transition to what are now. I doubt Symbian ever could have done that.

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away when I was doing CS as and undergrad we had an assignment to build a model on how to maximise rental income for a commercial property. It was just a toy model but it showed that as you increased rent your vacancy rate would go up. Not surprisingly. But the interesting bit was you Maximised income at about a 15% vacancy rate. So in an unregulated market driven situation you would be leaving money on the table if you did not keep reaching prices until you priced some people out. It was a light bulb moment for me to see that this was a rational result even if it “felt” greedy to me. Now I think about these kind of issues as being unbalanced models. Add tax, Air B&B, local regulations, portfolio structure, and a range of other factors and typically the state of vacancy rates in and area will make sense.
I hope they have a good firewall.
You're not wrong - the web is very disorganized. This makes it more valuable to shareholders, as they can design sites to present us with whatever extracts optimal value at the present moment. That's how Google gets to interpose itself between us and what we're looking for, and redirect us to SEO spam pages.
Looked into that. Limitations:

1. Apparently, only one MDM is allowed per iOS device. This is a no-go for BYOD Consultants (like me).

2. Apple Business Manager does support Ad-Hoc distribution of links to private custom apps, but is limited to only one country. I have at least one client that has consultants across countries (typical when hiring in EU). The client doesn't even have a business registration in each country, so they can't even sign up for Apple Business Manager per-country they have users in. And even if they could, that would cost 300 USD per country.

Android doesn't even need the app to be distributed via Google, or even that an app uses Google's Push servers.
Can you explain for us noobs why that is?

Why? From my POV, push notifications are sort of an edge case, useful only for a handful of people who need synchronous communication in their mobile device. I disable notifications for most apps I use anyway, they do nothing but annoy me.

What I'm saying is, this very much depends on the use-case and work style. If my most used productivity app lost notifications, I wouldn't even notice.

> But now they are starting to repair relations with Iran.

I wouldn't draw this conclusion just because they had a few meetings. The Saudis are facing the same dilemma as Egypt, where the leaders have to manage optics with non-committal signals. Once this war ends, the Saudis will be facing the same security reality as prior to the war, therefore the Saudis will have the same reasons for opposing Iran and seeking out alliance with the US. Nothing substantive will change in this calculation, assuming the war is contained in Gaza.
Can you reformulate this question? It's hard to know what you mean when you say "no more affected". How are you defining "more" ?

I read this entire article but I’m still confused. What exactly is the financial motivation for keeping units empty? And is the concern the fact that the units are empty or are they concerned about the conditions of the empty units?
Yes, and Wasm's capability based security model makes sense for adding plugins to your app. But TFA is intended for running entire apps, so I think letting the user of the app control fs and network access via the already widely supported and proven method of CGroups and namespaces is a much better option than whatever method each individual app comes up with.
Well, at this point the mainstream usenet network is dedicated to piracy. That's what it is - 100% piracy. The only reason they use NNTP instead of something like BitTorrent and call them "articles" instead of "files" is to maintain plausible deniability that that isn't what they're doing.

The textual discussion network may as well be its own wholly separate network. I only know of Eternal September, but I'm sure there are other servers.
> Originalism gets coded conservative in the US because of the historical circumstances of our federal constitution, and the difficulty of amending it. But right wing living constitutionalism would be more conservative.

Does "the historical circumstances of our federal constitution, and the difficulty of amending it" really explain it? Australia also has a federal system, and Australia's federal constitution is also notoriously difficult to amend.

I suspect the biggest factor is actually the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment-once courts get used to the power to strike down legislation on the grounds of constitutionally protected rights, judges begin to feel the temptation to interpret those rights in such a way as to fulfil their own policy preferences; once those so tempted get their way, inevitable debate ensues about the propriety of their having done so.

By contrast, Australia's constitution is rather light on protections of individual rights, which limits the ability of Australian judges to feel the same temptation-one feels much more secure in striking down a law as violating the 1st Amendment, than striking down a law as violating the "implied right of political communication" (Australia's equivalent-which, as the name suggests, is not explicitly in the text, only having been read into it by the Courts, and only extends to "political" matters).

So, I think that explains how originalism became much more politically coded in the US than in Australia. However, I think the fact that it got coded as "right-wing" rather than "left-wing" may be an accident of historical circumstance. Hypothetically, suppose the Lochner era didn't end in 1937, and for decades thereafter SCOTUS continued to strike down labour regulations as violating the constitutional right to due process - one could imagine in such a scenario how originalism might become appealing to many people on the political left, whereas those on the political right might have been comparatively disinterested in it. In such an alternative timeline, "originalism" might have ended up being coded the opposite way.

In theory, yes. But we wouldn't even be having this conversation if we had a functioning legal system, government agencies that respected people's rights, and government lawyers that didn't "interpret" constitutional protections out of existence behind closed doors.
