Strong Towns has called a good amount of attention to the mandatory parking requirements in many cities (and shockingly, many downtowns). Thankfully, it seems a fair number of cities are removing such restrictions, but hopefully it becomes more widespread.

In general I hope the US can urbanize, the older I get the more I realize it’s not really enjoyable living in this country. I don’t think I want hyper dense, but having more places to walk, bike, and explore that aren’t just cookie-cutter boilerplate-esque suburbs and freeways would be really nice. More places to meet people too, there’s so few third places. And not needing to drive would be a really big convenience.

(To be clear, I doubt most of the US will urbanize given the rural nature of a lot of it, but I hope at least bigger cities can move in that direction)

* layoffs.fyi -- the market is pretty rough, and that will show you just how bad

* you're already in tech (sorta) / tech adjacent, and you already have been around the engineers. you're not a waiter or truck driver starting from scratch, and have some context. a boot camp might work, but you could just as easily pick up some of this on your own.

* consider free online programs like free code camp or the odin project. shoot for just 2 hours a day, and then spend the rest of your time looking for another job.

* tech sales, esp. sales guys who are sorta technical (or very technical, e.g. sales engineers), and who can close deals, are still in demand.

* a bootcamp will eat a lot of that 6-12 months living expenses

* also, do you want to be coding, or in some sort of tech? there may be paths into DevOps or IT that might flow faster. starting from scratch it's best to go closer to the machine -- at uni the joke was "IT is for I Tried (but washed out of CS / engineering)" -- but pure coding may not be something you're into. There are happy mediums and certain IT roles might be a great fit.

> ZIRP was like the juicing era

If you say so, but the 90's were _way_ better than the 00's.
Sure. Personally, I believe San Francisco restaurants (for example) had less ability to bid up salaries in a highly-competitive labor market while using generous endowments from VCs flush with cash in a ZIRP climate in order to weather many unprofitable quarters the way that San Francisco tech unicorns like Uber and Twitter did. I believe that San Francisco restaurants, like restaurants anywhere else, cannot survive more than a few unprofitable quarters. Besides restaurant workers, I believe this applies to education workers, retail workers, and many healthcare workers who nevertheless have to compete in the same city as tech workers for: housing, food, services, etc. I believe that contributed to the income inequality which we already know grew in San Francisco over this period. Moreover, I believe when housing prices tilt upward dramatically in the way they did in San Francisco over this period, people at the bottom margin predictably will fall off of that margin. Some of them will become homeless, and homelessness tends to intersect with substance abuse.

That's what I believe tends to happen when one group of people (let's say, "tech workers") have salaries wildly divergent from everyone else who lives in that place. But, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe everyone benefits equally when only a subset of people get very large salaries. I dunno. What do you think?
I remember Stephen Wolfram mentioned that he managed Mathematica Products via email since it was founded in 1988. I was wondering how he could that so effectively.
> what were you able to determine from that

I interpret this as: a company that is successful not because it provides a service that is useful or good, but one that other companies - in this case "financial firms" - are FORCED to buy, usually through compliance or regulatory means.

Think of it like an auto insurance company advertising themselves as "your trusted partner on the roads." Yeah I guess, but it's still meaningless.
While the people behind this website were indeed caught in Germany, providers of similar popular streaming piracy sites (kinox.to and movie4k.to) have/had warrants out for them internationally as well as house searches all over Europe. They really don't joke around when it comes to copyright infringement.
How long does it take to break even on the carbon output of asphalt demolition and haul-away vs carbon input of optimal density trees planted in the same space?
Oh, I am that kind of person, believe me. Mine looks identical in the terminal. I use zenburn theme. The only thing I ever set in my bashrc is `TERM=xterm-256color`. I'm not sure why. I do have `COLORTERM=truecolor` set, but I didn't do it myself. It just works for me with or without those variables set in both xterm and alacritty.
I have lived in San Francisco for 25 years. Try again.
Sorry for responding late, but I don't think Termux includes SBCL - at least it doesn't on my android devices. But it does include ECL (Embeddable Common Lisp).

Apparently, you can compile SBCL using ECL, so if you really want SBCL itself instead of just a Common Lisp implementation, that might be a path to it.
In a similar vein, using Gitea + self-hosted runners (including macos) here, very happy although we did do some of the work to make the "CI stack" (contributed back to gitea and act projects) so not totally batteries included yet. One thing that helps quite a bit imho is to avoid virtualization -- our approach is to run all CI jobs in containers, not VMs. Yes this has isolation implications, and requires some futzing to get docker-in-docker and docker-in-docker-in-docker to work (shout out to the Earthly team for figuring out how to host kind/k8s inside a container), but the "runs on any computer" property of containers (vs virtualization) is powerful. Want CI on your laptop? No problem. On a Windows machine? No problem.
Not a valid comparison for two reasons:

1. The primary use case of Google is not to find pirated streams.

2. Google responds to lawful take-down requests.

> Google has the exact same business model of making money with ads on their site, which people visit to get those links.

This is a disingenuous claim for the reasons mentioned above.

> Google will never be touched, even though they have served a larger number of supposedly illegal links to users.

False equivalence for the reasons above. Piracy links are a small fraction of Google's use case, not the primary advertised function. They're also responsive to following lawful requests.
They (ought to) unpave the parking lot and put up a paradise!

More green spaces are good for cities.
In fact, you linked the exact thing I linked. :P
I used to work for an Indymedia collective; I'd say we received half a dozen C&Ds.

[Indymedia was an open news collective, with a strong anarchist-socialist leaning]

Our "collective" had no formal membership, and no assets. We were all just volunteers who valued the platform and did some work to help out. These emails were always addressed to "To Whom It May Concern". Pseudonymity was the norm in Indymedia, and I was completely ignorant about the IRL identity of most colleagues that preferred to be pseudonymous.

They'd usually be complaining about Indymedia reports of the activities of some small businessman, often a builder. It would often be part of a campaign, i.e. there would be more than one article, by different people. So we'd collate the articles, and do web-searches; if the complaint appeared to refer to something potentially libellous; or involved some crime like inciting violence; or violated our posting T&C, like trolling, conspiraloon, or agent-provocateur, then we'd hide the article or comment; otherwise the site would have been deluged in spam. Hidden articles and comments didn't appear in lists. We had no one-button method for removing an article completely, we had to blank the article in the database. We even published a link to a page where you could view all articles and comments; none of these C&Ds ever referred to a hidden article.

We never replied to any of these C&Ds. We (or I) never hid an article or comment as the result of reading a C&D; I never thought the C&D had any merit. We took the "Ignore" route, and never suffered any adverse consequences; not even follow-ups.

So I don't share the author's opinion that you should never adopt the Ignore route. Perhaps we got lucky, but I'd have taken these messages more seriously if they had named me.

FTR, IANAL.

I think part of the reason that GM is having a hard time finding buyers is that Tesla has successfully scooped up a lot of the early adopters. They were the first to scale their production, and then as other manufacturers got their factories online, Tesla cut prices aggressively to grab the next set of early-ish adopters. This has put the other manufacturers in a quandary: they can't achieve economies of scale because they're not selling many vehicles, and they can't sell more vehicles at their current prices because they're losing so much on each one. For example, Ford dramatically increased the price of their F150 EV, and then cut manufacturing capacity.

On a separate note, I bet if Tesla had made hybrids, they would have done a good job at that also. It is interesting to imagine a world in which Tesla was exactly the same (direct sales model), but was selling hybrids instead of pure EVs.
Our domain checks out because we use O365. However, we have an old Exchange server sending out via SMTP. We're not sure what the best path forward is for us. Do we change our apps to route through O365? Will probably take days for that. We have in house custom apps that use it heavily. Anyone have good resources on what we should do?
Side loading apps on the quest is pretty simple using the aptly named SideQuest, it only requires a one time 15 minute set up. Definitely a lot easier than trying to do this on an iPhone/iPad/iQuest.
>So I see no need to look far back. It‘s a bit like the diabetic regretting that nobody told them how harmful all the donuts were, all while they still don‘t diet because „now it‘s too late anyway“.

Except that, in this case, the diabetic's immediate family learned early on that the donuts might be bad and told the diabetic, but the diabetic kept eating them. And when the evidence further grew that the donuts were bad, the diabetic kept making them and eating them, while evangelizing about the wonders of donuts to others. Then there came a time where people called the diabetic on their crap, and folk came to their defense saying, "Don't be mad at them, how could they have known!?".
Neat. I wonder what the requirements are to sign under these companies.
Especially for people who are already fluent in a language, the lag can be a tad too long. For beginners, it's more ok since you get a nice "break".
Why not both? Trees in the manner they're describing where it's just helping the forested area expand back out doesn't require human involvement either.

The selfish human reason to want trees as a natural heat regulator is I think alone worth the benefit in areas with lots of asphalt where people will be near.

That's not a point, that's dull edge. Quantity vs quality is a false dichotomy, both can and have increased over time. Further, a 1000 monkeys on a typewriter could never come up with general relativity. One genius can improve quality of life for everyone.
This already exists. There are classifiers for Scams, Sextortion and other crimes. Like with all interventions, recall isn't perfect.
Indeed, I'm fully convinced that breaking into the industry without a degree at this point is nearly an impossibility. Total 180 from how things were ten years ago.
I don't think it's worried about cannibalizing mac sales. If it does that it just means Apple gets to sell computers at a substantial premium with a moat against other manufacturers.

I think it's worried about not being able to apply a 30% tax on third party software.
Darknetlive was a news site. An ancestor comment here described a news site as 'reputable' and the comparison to Google was made, asking if Google is 'reputable.' Since Darknetlive is a news site and Google does not engage in journalism (aka 'reporting') I don't think the comparison is apt.
What herbivores are you going to deploy to allow the meadow to maintain itself? Going to fence them in or let them run wild in town?

In 99%+ of east coast US environments, grassland will become forest naturally (over time), even with the deer population as it is.

This is exciting, indeed! Thanks.
It is relatively easy to roll out a solution to this problem and GitHub doesn't care about competition in this niche.
Yeah, that makes sense. Checking my inbox now!
Another article attacking crypto, lumping it together with AI and Internet crime.

The digital age has transformed the financial landscape, making transactions faster, easier, and more global. Of course this is going to come with a corresponding increase in crime.

I think the focus on these large financial crimes sweeps the massive increase in small scams and littler financial crimes which in aggregate seem to be much larger. Our phones are blowing up with scam after scam, but the focus of regulators seems to be generally on systemic risk. However, a loss of faith in the system due to constant bombardment of scams could be considered a systemic risk. We need to focus a lot more resources on reducing these small crime networks and perhaps a little less on the larger sized but much smaller percentage of overall crime that is large scale fraud.
I agree.

"Standing up to bullies is the kind of thing that gets young people expelled from school. Something about those zero tolerance policies."

So it's not really the standing up part but the policy that gets them expelled.
But you try and tell the young people today that... they won′t believe ya!
I think Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized money, and the rest was all emergent behaviour.

A lot of bitcoin holders do want it to be free from governments, though.
I miss this kind of stuff in computer programming languages.

In hardware design, verification is done simultaneously with design, and semiconductor companies would be bankrupt if they did not verify the hell out of their designs before committing millions in manufacturing these chips.

Even among hobbyists this is getting traction with yosys.perhaps its time for programmers to adapt this kind of tooling so there will be less buggy software released...
Every SaaS company is fucked.

Also tbh, I feel like GenAI will play a really big part in UI/UX over the coming 1-2 years.

v0.dev has been huge for me.
Absolutely - I did my best business during and after the big 2008 meltdown -companies threw out the good with the bad in order to save money (on payroll) and then realized they still needed stuff done - but many departments in many companies weren't (yet) allowed to start hiring back FT employees - it was a golden opp. for consultants, especially if you didn't charge obscene rates (good rates, just not obscene), i.e. rates high enough to make real money, but not so high they needed special approval by several layers of management.
Someone could use a chill pill.

But in all seriousness, this point does stand valid in my opinion.

Various facets of society react and communicate differently. For example, death threats are just a part of the job for game developers (insane, yes - but a regular thing). If you can’t stomach it, then get out for your own sake. No need to burden yourself with someone else’s inability to process their own emotional response in a mature way.

Linus is notorious for his responses in the past being on par with the death threats video gamers throw at their game devs.

Personally life is too short to burden yourself with someone like that.
Oh so we can't call the current generation baby boomers
Sure, sorry if it wasn't clear from my question, it wasn't specifically about urllib3, but I meant if there are plans that browsers will make such an API available or if this is something that will never become real.
I agree with all that you are saying.

If we started digging into details of each possible shade of 'capitalisms', we find a sliding scale of what features are most dominant.

There are some that aren't as focused on 'competition' and 'markets'. I'd say that in all of your examples, they are there, just not as dominant, or somehow 'narrowly managed'. So we'd be arguing over the scale of each feature in each example. Not really right or wrong.

I agree, it is mostly the global market that forces this on some countries with less competition.
Yeah I carried my vaccine card for a while, I never had to get a test of any sort for entry, but did have to get my temperature taken a bunch.

It will have a browser. You can do pretty much anything in a browser.
Assumming:

- PL1/PL2 from Intel can be compared to TDP from AMD

- CPU Mark scores alone are the best indicator of what full utilization looks like vs another test

You'd be accurate. You can't really assume either of these things though. The better comparison to TDP from AMD is probably closer to "base power" of 125W than PL1/PL2 of 181 on the Intel side. Other benchmarks, like encoding using all cores efficiently with matrix extensions, are in the 25%-30% difference. Combine these two facts and it's probably closer to 1.5x efficient (instead of the 2.5x the raw numbers above suggest, 3x the relative improvement), but you'd have to actually measure active power doing the same amount of total work to know for sure. Even ignoring one of the facts the encoding benchmark differences are enough to guarantee it'd actually be less than twice as efficient, not at least twice as efficient.
No P&L, no cost/reward analysis, no numbers at all. Just emotional "omg need more green". Have the author ever torn down a single parking lot? Doesn't look like that to me. Why is this article even on HN at all?

> What if I accidentally link a copyrighted work and I happen to run ads on my site?

If you make a site that legitimately serves a different purpose, then you accidentally post a single link to pirated content in a truly good-faith accidental manner, then you response to any requests to take it down with a good-faith action in a timely manner, you are in a completely different category than dedicated piracy websites.

There is no equivalence.

Furthermore, the law generally takes intent into account. You can start reading on the general concept on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea

It clearly depends on what you do but having more colors is nice.

Even if 256 colors are available it's not enough. The palette of the 256 colors is gruesome. You can clearly see that a technical person without any knowledge of color theory designed it.

Looks like it's a long running node? Or am I wrong?

Does it have on demand workers like those Kubernetes providers, where you use shared master nodes (or with a very small fee), and scalable node pools on demand (charged when used).
Doesn't matter if there's no way to tie it back to the individual; that is, the information on whose temperature is never available to the reader.

It wouldn't be the first time that hardware gets ahead of software.

In 1988-94, the CPUs available in desktop computers were substantially more advanced than the widely used operating systems. Windows 3 and Mac System 6/7 didn't support pre-emptive multitasking, memory protection, or many other features that define a modern OS.

Maybe we'll look back at today's Quest and Vision Pro as similar transitional devices with one foot stuck in the old paradigm, running old-style software.
Is it just me or do you folks feel like there would be soon a mass migration of people from Western countries to places like India, South America, Africa etc because of not being able to afford basic things like rent? Not like a nomad but more permanent.
Do people use numba outside of scientific computing code? feel like for most "normal" uses, you'd probably be fine with having your code written in numpy or pandas, so I'd love to hear what people generally use numba for outside of scientific computing.
What has to give is 100% the now understood-to-be-god-given right of every affluent person in the world to live with their current footprint.

I don't mean their BP BS "personal footprint," I mean, with all the aggregate affordances of a late-stage capitalism fueled (ha ha!) by non-renewable energy and resource usage.

With things like https://rmi.org/the-rise-of-batteries-in-six-charts-and-not-... and the similar trends in renewable energy sourcing, the step down in expectation and afforded life style is however growing ever smaller.

How much smaller, how quickly? Not nearly enough to prevent gray swan catastrophes of all sorts, it seems. Oh well.
Not sure about the social acceptance of people walking around with a laser printer strapped to their face…
Best solution to that is to use Eshell. Run `M-x eshell` to open the shell inside Emacs (on your local machine), then type `cd /ssh:orod-na-thon:path/to/files`. This will transparently ssh to the server and change to the path to your files. The `ls` command will now show the files that exist on the remote server rather than the local computer. You might now expect that there would be an eshell command that you could type to open a remote file in your local Emacs, but there isn’t.

No, in Emacs you always open a file by typing `C-x C-f`. (Unless you rebound it to some other key, in which case make the obvious substitution.)

Any time you hit `C-x C-f` to open a file it defaults to opening files from the working directory of the current buffer. The working directory of the eshell buffer is on the remote server, so the default list of files that you see are all the ones you were already looking at with `ls`. You can start typing a filename and autocomplete will do the rest.

This is an even deeper and more convenient composition of the shell and the editor than having special commands for tasks like opening a remote file in the local editor.
I don't watch/read the verge that often, but I don't find that this the case for this review.
So we should first-line treat people with addictive, known long-term harmful medicines rather than try things that have a known long-term safe profile simply because it's understood to be less likely to work?

That's just bonkers to me. I'll try every single safe potential treatment before resorting to higher evidenced unsafe treatment.

Also this "wakefulness" doesn't mean much. It's much like ADHD doesn't mean much - we're just describing symptoms. If we decided to describe the symptoms of taking modafinil as increasing concentration (which being more awake does) then it would be just as accurate.

There is no chemical being measured when we diagnose these medications and there is no chemical being measured when we clinically determine a successful treatment. It's all symptoms and entirely subjective. Which is exactly why we should tell people safe things work and allow the science of suggestion alongside medicine help treat people more safely.
I'm not sure I'm understanding you, but this thread spent 9 hours on HN's front page.
