I think this is an example of how the greatest enemy to virtue is cynicism.

It is hard to deny the old adage: in the land of the blind the one eyed is king. That suggests an unscrupulous ploy, to blind your adversaries so that you might be king. And if you think in this way then you may suspect your adversaries of trying to blind you because you believe they desire the kingship for themselves. And if your adversaries are trying to blind you then it is best that you blind them first before they can do it to you. This kind of thinking is insidious.

It reminds me of someone describing a culture where cheating was rampant. They said, only a fool wouldn't cheat when all of the competition is cheating. In their view it is better to be a cheater among cheaters than a solitary fool. Of course, a fool might say something foolish like: "we'd all be better off if we all stopped cheating each other". A cynic might reply: "that is exactly what a cheater would want, obviously, since then he would then have an even greater advantage! The only reason someone would say something so foolish is if he was the biggest cheater of all!"
> Newer housing is quite often much nicer than older housing

I would disagree very strongly. Stronger building codes and rising material costs have made everything look very samey. I really wish people would/could build more houses that were interesting.

Well done, my friend. How wonderful!
People picture the wrong thing, usually soul crushing tower block. Picture Savannah, Charleston, small college towns, ... Dense, but spacious, accommodating, lush, verdant.

If the surroundings are low quality, then yes, density sucks. If the surrounding area is high quality, density makes things better. More things closer. It's awesome.

Money talks too. The denser, walkable areas are always the most expensive. Market is underserved in much of this country.
So maybe students in that situation can do remote education and then everyone else does normal, more effective, in-person education?
> if you later choose to want to release that tool it really aught to follow the terms of the GPL and be under a licence compatible with the GPL

This may be in the spirit of Free-as-in-freedom software, but I don't think it's grounded in the reality of copyright and the GPL. With the usual disclaimer that IANAL: copyright attaches to the work (the code), and is retained by the author. The author grants you certain rights to use, modify, and redistribute the code subject to conditions (the GPL). Those constraints only encumber your works that are derivative of the GPL-licensed code i.e. either direct modifications of original source or linking original/derived object code.

A product that directly and necessarily imported perfplot would probably itself need to be GPL licensed to be distributed. A product developed with merely the assistance of something like perfplot would not need to be licensed in any particular way, any more than software written in Emacs needs to be GPL licensed.

I am a YIMBY and still understand that these forms of housing are nowhere near as valuable as the SFH.

Just stating that Americans love their yards/privacy and it's not so simple to fix.
This argument makes it seem like forged documents were never a thing.
Almost nowhere in the US has a truly liberal zoning system. Houston kinda sorta. Where are you referring to?
Looks neat. A screenshot or video would be much appreciated.
I would like to have .partition as well but I guess I can get by with groupBy.

Array.product would be sweet as well (i.e. like product in python's itertools).
The simple reason is that dense areas are more expensive, so there is clearly a lot of demand for it, even if you dislike it.

As to why, it's really all about tradeoffs. If you live in a nice house with land, you'll be far from city amenities. If you want to be close to city amenities (concerts, theaters, stadiums, bars, restaurants, shops, activities, people, being able to walk to places, public transit, etc), then you need to live somewhere dense.

Dense areas are popular because there are so many cool things nearby you. That's just not possible if you live in the suburbs.

Sure, most people would probably prefer a single-family home also in a dense area. But that's just physically impossible. A subdivision of nice homes with yards doesn't even contain enough people to support its own infrastructure (roads, pipes, etc) let alone a vibrant local restaurant scene. So you must drive everywhere you go, which has some serious downsides.

So many people prefer being able to walk to a coffee shop or to the bar without needing to drive. There's a reason 15-minute cities are growing in popularity.

> What if your command line terminal could display more than just text? That’s crazy right (I can hear the screams of thousands of graybeard sysadmins).

The screams are because they remember the last... 3 or 4 off the top of my head? terminals that said that, and then fell over when you tried to cat a log file because they were using javascript in the hot path for displaying text. So how's your performance and responsiveness? Throughput and latency both matter a lot here.

OTOH, full marks for actually doing FOSS and not requiring a login to use a local terminal; you've already avoided at least some of the obvious landmines that would make me run screaming.

The way I understand it, light from far away, very far away, is red-shifted because the universe is expanding at every point and the wavelength of the traveling light is stretched. Stretching the wavelength means light from the blue end of the spectrum moves closer to, or indeed, into the red end of the spectrum.

If you want to look very deep into the past, say, 13 billion years ago, any light from galaxies that old has traveled 13 billion light years PLUS however much the universe has expanded and will be red-shifted out of the visible spectrum, so you need an infra-red telescope to see it. Hence, JWST.

You simply can't see these things without using instruments that can detect the right light.

On top of that, everything in the universe emits light across a broad spectrum, above and below the visible spectrum. We can enhance our knowledge of these things; stars, planets, galaxies, etc by using instruments that can "see" infra-red, radio, x-ray, gamma ray and that is additional information on top of what our eyes can see in the visible spectrum.
If you have more than you need while others are suffering it’s greed. You can’t change the definition of greed just because it makes you uncomfortable.

You can buy some land out in Texas for like $1000 per acre.
The housing shortage is the housing crisis. Period. It's simple supply & demand. Vanishing stock -> skyrocketing prices. Every other factor is peanuts in comparison. You can ban private equity, foreign investment, lower rates, etc. Won't fix a thing. You cannot squeeze blood from a stone.

Either make units or make peace. Everything else is lipstick on a pig.
There are regulations, and regulations. Those regarding, say, fire safety are pretty important and worth it even at the cost of productivity.

Zoning, on the other hand, that keeps corner stores, apartments and condos out of some neighborhoods... that is a huge problem and doesn't really exist for safety reasons.
They had actually evaluated aqua and purple, and chose aqua because it was more visible?

This isn’t critical road information. Why does it need to use the most visible spectrum, and the spectrum closest to blue/green confusion possibilities?

I think that the reasoning is that no cells will have even partial resistance to mechanical action, therefore "fitness" wouldn't develop in surviving cells. i.e. there's no fitness function with improve upon. Perhaps the ability of these dye molecules to infiltrate could be affected, but given the fundamental structure of cells, that may not be a likely outcome within a single human organism (since cancer is generally non-communicative)
Taking more than you need when others are lacking is selfishness. Counterpressure doesn't enter into it. If the only thing that stops you from being greedy is that other people or laws pressure you to not be, then you're still a greedy person. Our values are expressed by what we do in the absence of such pressure.
I’d imagine it’s very hardware specific
A more important question is how many people actually paid that rate since the tax code was chock full of loopholes, much more than now.

The opposite belief is also held relatively widely.

Ha! I've translated your YIN code actually! Your autocorrelation is pretty cool - GPL versions all use an additional FFT. Have been struggling with your PYIN implementation because the beta distribution is copied from the GPL PYIN source, and the paper just references its source code for that part, and as you also found out, it's not a real beta distribution. I asked one of the PYIN authors (Dixon) if he were willing to change the license and he forwarded my mail a week ago - haven't heard back. Then there's the absolute_threshold function that is the same as in the PYIN source where it says "using Jorgen Six'es loop construct". This "loop construct" doesn't have a license, because he doesn't answer the issues about that in his TarsosDSP library, and I'm not sure if I should bother him about a few lines of code. I'm assuming it's a coincidence and that's just a normal way to find the absolute threshold. I really don't want to point fingers here, I'm being paranoid because I try to make sure I don't publish something that can put people in trouble...

So I have been staring at your code for many hours, and the YIN-implementation works well. The PYIN on the other hand.. well I necro posted a while ago in one of your pull requests I think ;)
Exactly, and what’s the occupancy rate for those Airbnb? 80%, 50% 20%? I knew one family that could make more an Airbnb in a week than they could renting it for two months.

It is relative easy/simple to calculate this with 'some' accuracy.

If you ask someone how much they smoke per day, (that's pretty consistent) and they respond "2 packs of X brand", then you know the brand, you know the price x365 you can estimate the cost. If you point blank ask me "how much do you spend on pizzas every year", I can't just pull a number out of a hat. I will do the math: €20 per pizza x 1 per month = approx 240.
On the other hand, vacant property generally is very common.

> Or arguably because death is final, death came for the elderly more than the children with this disease

Death always comes for the elderly though. The metric of "years of high quality life saved" is important to apply here.

I was all for the shutdowns starting in March 2020, and was arguing in favor of it, but it then went on for way too long. NYC schools remained closed until fall 2021, and even then they kept shutting down individually for awhile afterwards as part of the COVID protocol. In hindsight it went on for way too long.
Not the OP but as someone who grew up in Chicago, but then spent a large time in NYC, here are some examples:

1. Talent Density: Chicago is optimized talent-wise at a regional level (the midwest), while NYC is optimized at a global level. Chicago simply doesn't have the same pull if you don't live in the midwest the way NYC does for folks living anywhere across the world. This creates an obvious talent gap.

2. Culture: Chicago operates as a much more of an all-American city, reflecting cultural attitudes not too dissimilar from the rest of the country. Examples here include a heavy sports culture, emphasis on drinking/going out. You see a similar trend with NYC transplants (like myself in my early 20's) but you're eventually forced to grow out of it in NYC and create a more unique and diversified identity. I haven't seen much of this in my social circle from Chicago who never left.

3. Industry Density: Chicago is considered top at a few select industries including insurance, commodities etc. OTOH, there are very few industries that NYC would not be considered top in. Strong talent begets strong talent and this creates the sort of network effect that's present in the bay (for tech), and in NYC, but not in Chicago minus a few industries. These network efforts, over a long enough timeframe, fundamentally alter the landscape of one's career.

4. Local v.s. global maxima: Chicago allows you to reach a relatively easier maxima (career or culture wise), which likely means Chicagoans are happier on average. That concept doesn't exist in NYC or the bay. It pushes you to reach a global maxima which is inherently more challenging. For example, getting a job at Google likely sets you for life in Chicago. In NYC or the bay, that's simply a starting point. This isn't for the faint of heart but is highly rewarding if you're ambitious and work-oriented.

5. Arts and Fashion: The same concept of local v.s. global maxima exists here too.

6. Food: Far more global and unique in NYC than in Chicago (which in-itself has great food)

>> Boomers mostly live in the suburbs

This is true. I mean there is no official government definition of a suburb, but by any reasonable definition, most Boomers live in suburbs.

The older generation, the Silent Generation, they also mostly live in the suburbs. So does Generation X. So do the Millenials.
I came up with a rough idea for a policy. I'd say it's more like I'm describing Facebook as a timeline-based social media website where you can connect with your friends.

Not OP, but I did work real estate for 8 years. While Blackrock themselves aren't buying all the homes, private companies such as them buying homes for investment portfolios is a major issue.

In the area I worked in, 30% of all home sales were bought with cash with no inspections to investment companies like Blackrock and then listed for rent. In the 3 cities around me, 2 new communities that were supposed to be starter homes starting at $300k, were all bought up by those investment companies and are now rental-only communities.

The average American can't compete with that no matter how much we delude ourselves into thinking we can.
Clarifying the Red Sea Situation
But outside of a few outlier markets like SanFran/Vancouver/NY, which are mostly being used to expatriate stolen foreign money anyway, that's not how the majority of people acquired a second home.

> I don't understand why this style of housing isn't more popular

You answered your own question.

> They all looked the same so there was no stigma as to who had section 8 and who didn't

Part of the point of segregating by income is precisely to distinguish the haves from the have-nots.
I hear you. But I’ve also learned a lot about how to write idiomatic rust from scrolling through rust’s standard library. You’re right - because it’s written to support lots of programs, it sure is packed with a lot of functions I’ll probably never use. But it’s still quite beautiful and readable. Much more so than C++.

Here’s std::vec: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/vec/mod.rs.html

I tried to read C++’s vec class when I was learning C++ and I was confused and lost. I agree with the GP post - it feels like another language.
> Britain's decentralised and ad-hoc approach to identity allowed a lot of people to slip into a kind of legal limbo.

That can definitely be a problem, but it's also a problem with more strict identity systems, where certainly in my experience slipping in "legal limbo" can be just as easy if not easier, albeit under different circumstances. Previous: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37239713 – there's a lot more detail to that by the way I won't bore you with, but eventually the easiest "solution" was to just leave the country.

While British-style systems are somewhat chaotic and messy and clearly imperfect, on balance I think they're profoundly better than strict registers. What was it again, "the optimal amount of fraud is non-zero"? If you try to be air-tight about these sort of things you're going to end up excluding a lot of non-fraudulent people, and it's better to have a bit of fraud.

Another important factor is that a lot of the Windrush generation weren't immigrating so much as British citizens moving from one part of the country to another part of the country. I believe that was more or less the situation legally, but that's also how many felt as they were raised to be British; if you listen to people talk about their childhood in Jamaica and whatnot then they were raised and always thought of themselves as British (whether the white people in Britain also saw them as such is a different matter – rivers of blood etc.).

A bit of a pedantic point perhaps, but I do think it matters and is an important reason why people didn't have much documentation, because would you keep detailed documentation if you were moving from Glasgow to Bristol?
Keep leaning into it. Each new capability is a gateway to more. Now that you have rough vacuum you can start doing plasma experiments. That comes wrapped up with a bunch of lab / high voltage safety stuff, but also enables x-ray experiments. Could then branch off into intersections with crystals/minerals/chemistry. Anyway that is just one branch.
Last time I renewed mine was about 9 years ago (oops, should probably renew it soon); at least in Ireland you couldn’t renew online at that point.

Ah, I didn't know Map in JavaScript allowed arbitrary keys whereas Object always serializes to strings. I guess that is the reason for having a Map.groupBy in the proposal.

Nothing at all. This is exactly what's been happening in my area for a long, long time.
Haha. People can’t even pay attention to gigantic lines on the road, giant red signs, and bright lights in their faces with any reliability.

And you want them to stop driving because they should be able to distinguish a moving from a fixed light?
A land value tax would fix the rampant land speculation that leads to such an abysmal underutilization of land.
In the scenario I just described no-one is lacking.

> documentarians also focus on respecting their subjects

plenty of documentarians do no such thing. In fact they make documentaries specific because they don't respect their subject.
The issue for me is four-fold:

1. Adds complexity to the language

2. Adds complexity to engines

3. Adds complexity to developers, especially new developers ("wait is it typed or not")

4. Most importantly, all but guaranties we will never have true types in JavaScript for things that could benefit from it like node or electron where instant compile time isn't necessary.

All this for a feature only helping some developers some of the time so they can run code that will be stripped out in production to reduce size anyway on their local browser a bit more easily.
> Flagging a cab on a busy road in NYC is always faster than waiting for an Uber, at least in my experience.

In Seattle, you can't really flag down a cab.

What you could do in the past (pre-uber) was call their phone number, have the dispatcher on the other end pick up and be annoyed that you are bothering him, and request a cab that may or may not show up.

Also you had to know where you are at, which for a lot of people I know, is a serious challenge. A surprisingly large % of people have serious problems finding what intersection they are at. (To be fair, sometimes you are on a street that, for whatever reason, doesn't have any street signs, or the street sign is not lit up at all and you have to use your phone's flashlight to try and read it... and again, all this while drunk).

The experience sucked.
