If you use Stylus (or any similar browser extension), I actually wrote a style to hide points for that very reason, replacing karma and scores with `•••`

This is actually the second time I see someone mentioning this need, so I've made it into a gist and published it to userstyles, but here's it is also since it's pretty short:

What about density zoning, lack of mass transit, and high cost of construction? These are the main drivers of unaffordable housing.
The last time I used Instagram it figured me out in minutes and my feed was exclusively large female posteriors and Subarus.
I could buy a dead laptop like mine with a 3 buttons touchpad, extract the component and try to arrange it into the Framework, which I have to buy first and not use until (if!) I make the touchpad work.

It takes some prior research on dimensions, connectors and drivers. So many things could go wrong and I'm not sure I have the time and the knowledge to get started.

If I involve a company it's going to cost a lot of money.

If somebody kickstarters it I'll support the project.
It’s not about just the dead. Think about all the people who deployed, leaving family and friends behind. Kids didn’t see their parents for months to years at a time. People got divorced. PTSD is a very real thing.

To couch your arguments in a death count is quite lazy.
Very weak evidence presented in the article. Airbnb is surely a factor in rental price increases, but if it were in fact a leading causative factor, how come municipalities that ban airbnb do not see rental prices drop materially?

The focus clearly needs to be put on adding substantial supply, and in Canada at least, reigning in the demand from new immigration.
Then push your AG to get an investigation going, then press charges. Unless you do, the company will never get the message.
Trump and Elon Musk have incredible self control. They have selective outlets, yes. But they also both drive themselves constantly, invariably in the face of resistance. They're both self control addicts whose entire lives are built around the question "How much resistance can I overcome?"
Is it more about emergency care or the fact that we pay more for prescription drugs and expensive procedures?
canada is building housing like crazy, but also allowing massive immigration numbers, and airbnb is icing on the cake. Its not just one problem. But airbnb is garbage and should be banned.
You can create any data as non-root, including the description of a device node in a cpio.
Same here. Although I am quite introvert I find that the small social interactions at office are a necessary part of my well-being (both inside and outside of work)
But VCs lost less than they would have otherwise. And isn’t that what capitalism is really about?
I'll be too dead to care either way.
I feel like if global actually policy helped we wouldn't be in this "never ending increase in CO2 emission" hellscape we live in now.

Like, not to knock on someone else's work, but I bet if we had globally enforced regulation while we may get nice bylines of "the blue fin tuna has made a rebound" the global fish populations would continue to plummet and the oceans acidify even further.

I'd be curious to see how Airbnb's devastation in Canada compares to, say, the influx of wealthy foreigners seizing the entire Vancouver housing market.
There's a coaching philosophy that says to never praise unconditionally; rather every piece of praise should be followed with a criticism.

I suppose this is theoretically a good practice, but only if you're already operating in a high-trust environment. If you're not, it starts to feel like you're never good enough, because absolutely every victory, no matter how big or small, is followed up with "but it could be better...". Which is, again technically accurate, but part of the finesse of being a good people-manager is understanding that humans are not robots who can simply process and accept criticism without any emotional hangups.
And if I go to a flat earth conference, I will find that they produce lots of “proof” for flat earth.

I don’t really accept “this group of people who’s heads are super far up the ‘pure functions’ ass choose purity for their solutions” as “evidence” that purity is better.

I’m not saying that purity is bad by any stretch. I just consider it a tool that is occasionally useful. For methods modifying internal state, I think you’ll have a hard time with the assertion that “purity is easier to reason about”.
You can't have imposter syndrome with out the conscious or unconscious idea that you've "fooled" all the rubes around you into thinking you're good at something.

Even in doubt you're still doing some mental gymnastics that allow you to place yourself above your peers. It's inherently self centered and arrogant way of thinking about yourself. The opposite of self aware.
Unfortunately the horse is already out of the barn on vehicle weights. Yes, there is good engineering that can make light vehicles safe in single vehicle accidents, but when it comes to multi-vehicle accidents, it's a bit of an arms race.
This is not entirely true for consumer passenger vehicles, even ones weighing 7k pounds. There are many other reasons to tax but road wear is not as easily justifiable until you hit semi-truck weights. In general roads are made based on laden truck weights, the difference between a 4klb car and 7klb car does not make much if any difference.
I mean, it's an article on gentrification and rise in housing market costs. I'm sure Airbnb adds some to the general price rises, but it surely is just a small part of the many factors that have led to this effect in most cities in the Western World over the past 30 years?
I rotate two 8 TB USB hard drives between home and my locker at work, every month or two. Full-disk encrypted, of course. This covers my entire system and media files.

For /etc and my source code repositories, I use restic and cloud storage, because this data is small (< 1 GB). (Also, I'm on rural internet, which is metered and slow. So I can't use cloud backup for the big stuff.)

The whole system is not quite 3/2/1, but it's close enough for me.
Unexpected comment! Can you provide details? I have not noticed a correlation, and about a half of the successful executives I see drink heavily and frequently, and nearly all drink a little (except me).
Can you elaborate on what you mean by changing the result set as opposed to the shape?
The problem is when your government is in the business of guaranteeing house prices go up a ton - and everyone is leveraged housing - that turns housing into a speculative meme stock and not something for people to live in - which turns out to supremely suck for anyone that doesn't own a house and doesn't want to rent progressively shittier apartments for the rest of their lives.

Canada is building plenty of housing. It's the entire economy besides oil and gas.

Sure, you might be under-building slightly in B.C. and Toronto (mostly due to your gov's immigration policy specifically to prop up your housing bubble) - but that doesn't explain why prices have been going ape-shit literally everywhere in Canada for 30 years...
TSMC to Win More Than $5B in Grants for US Chip Plant
The problem is that most new housing in Canada is being bought up by investors, and the government refuses to do anything to disincentivize this, and continues to prop up the bubble any way it can. That might be because the majority of the federal government MPs are real estate investors themselves...
>So… why do people want to fine tune LLMs at home? It seems very unlikely to provide value.

Asking the first question is fine, but your follow-up comment sounds more dismissive than curious.

That's probably why the snarky response.
... So they need to build more housing.
I also find that Go has delightful build tooling; running 'go build ./...' is nearly the universal build tool.

How to Design Your Own Keycap Set
That's a terrifying read
(I know it's preaching to the choir, but ...)

What's the solution?
Owning your own home (and public housing).

What's needed for that?
Drastically cheaper housing.

What's needed for that?
Economies of scale. (Higher density, mass-production of components with as much prefab as possible. A few standard floorplans with some customizability.)
haha, it seems there are several prediction markets, and they are somewhat converging:

Proxmox is ultimately just debian linux. You can install portainer on the host. Or create a VM running portainer.
I got a Ryzen 7 5800H with 32gb of ram and a 1tb hard drive for 320€... I don't have the dual on board nic, but beside that, it's quite great cpu wise with Proxmox — multiple VM on it, doing transcoding, DNS, dealing with download and search, Home Assistant.
Of course transcoding 4k live is costly, but that's an exception. I can use NVMe and SATA hd, that's nice.

And I can update the ram and use ECC.

Not bad all in all !

Still, I got a Dell SFF with an I5 and 16gb of ram for less than 100€ — updated it with a 4 2,5gbps NIC, will be good for OPnsense... If I don't switch to a Melanox Connect 3.

More rotors aren’t more efficient: the more rotor area you have, the more efficient.

Whether you achieve that with 4 small rotors or 1 big rotor is immaterial.

The reason eVTOLs use many small rotors is because an eVTOLs only operate in vertical mode for a short period of takeoff and landing. They aim to be normal fixed wing aircraft for most of the flight!

A helicopter like big rotor would be inefficient- adding weight and drag during forward flight. Helicopters on the other hand, spend the entire flight in vertical mode, for which a big rotor is most efficient.

this stems from newtons second law, but is neglecting second order effects like interference
You know why throwing away even good food is preferable to donating it? Because if you throw it away you just account for it as a loss, but if you donate it you still owe the government the VAT just like if you sold it.
I mainly use CLion by JetBrains for development. It does use CMake.

I can't point you for particular tooling C++ project. The only 3rd party source code I use are some C++ libraries. All it takes in my particular case is adding couple of lines in CMakeLists.txt file and I am very far from being CMake expert.
This is also how I understand it. You choose networked or not networked, and if you choose networked you get a 2-for-1 with partitions.
Ok so we should be up in arms about them manufacturing these drugs, is that correct, given they directly result in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans yearly?

I’ll hang around for the author to take up the cause.
Honestly unsurprising when compared to Europe. Not sure about all Canadian details but here it's a tragedy.

My mother has a laundry working with Airbnbs in the center of Rome providing them with fresh towels and sheets everyday, before she mostly catered at locals.

While this is good for us, Airbnb absolutely ruined the center of Rome.

Locals are being forced out further and further away, neighborhoods, markets, bars, everything I grew up and that existed till a decade ago is at a rapid pace transforming our city in a tourist theme park.

Some cities have it much worse, but I can't but say that locals and traditional way of living and communities are being torn apart by mass tourism.

This isn't a housing problem per se as if Rome has not enough houses for locals, you can still move further away and find a place, and I'm not even complaining about the much higher prices.

But it feels like Airbnb is devouring any bigger city out of its locals, eroding lifestyles and transforming cities in theme parks.

Some places have it much worse than Rome, thinking of Lisbon or even worse Venice e.g. but I swear I travel a lot and it's harder and harder to see anything local or authentic in most of the places I go unless I head for very distant neighborhoods.
It’s both much harder and more expensive to become a doctor than a lawyer.

And usually I’m paying my lawyer to protect me from risks to my financial health, not because I think checking with them will make me money. My doctor helps protect me from health risks. It’s pretty similar. A mess-up in either area could easily mess up my life very badly.
For anyone looking to spend less time on social media, I suggest using Instagram exclusively on desktop, because it's the same content but you can block ads and the interface isn't as addictive.
Wouldn't they put ((70 °C)) in that case?
One way to reduce demand is to ban Airbnb, which has happened in some markets.

Unlike residents, tourists do not vote, and are not really entitled to cheap accomodations wherever they go.
I agree it's a good point. A nuclear blast is extrinsic to the system. I think what something like CAP gets us to think about is failures/limitations that are _intrinsic_ to the system. Someone walking around the data center and unplugging all the machines, then flying to the next data center and unplugging them, etc, would also cause all of CAP to fail.

Though, thinking about it more, what it also tells us is that we need to be clear about what "the system" is. There are, after all, some systems that _do_ take nuclear blasts into account, or systems that take "physical breach by a hostile actor" into account.

Less dramatically, we make trade-offs all the time as to what we consider "in" system vs "out", and it's good to be conscious and explicit about them. We see this a lot in UI, especially web UI in terms of things like what browsers to support, whether we care about users' battery life or data cap limits, if we foresee ourselves running the system in a jurisdiction with different regulations around data collection and usage, etc.
I gave TikTok a whirl about a year ago just to see what the fuss was about, and was disappointed. It wasn't long before I got videos about eating disorders, bare knuckle boxing, and videos on how to cope with depression. I much prefer Facebook & Instagram Reels. It's more sanitized, and Facebook can gauge with more certainty what my preferences are since I've been feeding them with my data for over a decade now so they 'get' what I like.
Or reduce immigration.

I'm stuck trying to understand what exactly a home lab is: Apparently a computer at home that has similarities with common production servers?

Here's my naive question: What is the point of a home lab, i.e. what makes it better than running stuff on the machine you're developing? I can see some advantages in networking applications (as mentioned in the article), but I have the impression this is not too critical for most applications and devs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of building stuff like this, and will always be able to find an excuse to do it anyway. :)
Airbnb is a convenient scapegoat especially for interests that don't want to change the bigger levers - housing development and immigration (and as mentioned elsewhere, housing prices can't go down for political reasons). So Airbnb gets pushed as a problem. This is basically propaganda.
Whaling continued until much more recently. I knew a guy in the early 2000s that made his money in the whale oil business and he was around 70 at the time.
There being one significant factor does not mean there are no other significant factors. The same goes for solutions.
Airbnb did not help things but the Canadian government at all levels is what has caused such a nightmare housing crisis.
We are not building housing like crazy.

Airbnb doesn't service 'demand for housing', it artificially decreases supply for the benefit of tourists.
Better read the terms...

and

I believe the only way to bypass this would be to disable add-on signing in your browser, which is probably a bad idea.

Do rental prices ever drop ? I think they may increase slower but that's about it.
That's exactly why we built Svix[1]. Building webhooks services, even with amazing tools like FastAPI, Celery and Redis is still a big pain. So we just built a product to solve it.

Hatchet looks cool nonetheless. Queues are a pain for many other use-cases too.

Yep, artificially constrained supply creates ample opportunity for bad actors to exploit the inefficiency.
Canada is not building enough housing, but you're 100% right about the government propping up the housing prices any way it can.
> You have no idea how much time I've wasted trying to block some products from pinging their home server with curious data stream, but failed to do so because I can't be bothered to sit my ass in front of Wireshark to sniff out all their DoH servers.

I wonder if you can run this in observe only mode to analyze/log that traffic.
That would be great. For people not for profit.
First of all, I'm not arguing against mainframes or anything! I'm just trying to clarify/explain terms and remove confusion. Just to get that out of the way.

> One, quite commonly known, is that two separate mainframes can run completely in lock-step if they are less than ≈ 50 km / 30 mi apart

Since they are 50km apart, they are connected to each other by one or multiple cables. I assume that they are also both connected to the internet (or something else that matters) so that if one burns down the other can take over. Correct so far?

If so, then please answer this questions: how does the system behave if all the cables between the two machines are severed, for an unknown time?
Yes, we can absolutely implement this but your computer now runs x times slower and or is y times more expensive. For the vast majority of people, this would be a quaint exercise and real market exists for it.

Canadian here. While AirBNB can be a problem, the real problem is not AirBNB. It's actually housing as an investment rather than a place to live. You can shut down AirBNB or regulate it or whatever, but as long as you've got housing as a lucractive investment with not enough new housing being built, you're going to get people trading it like the stock market. I mean, come on, we've got a finite amount of land.

Property investors like articles like this because they shift the blame. How about instead a regulation over how many houses/apartments a person can own? How about a maximum of one? Or I bet even two would slow it down.
If you ban AirBNB, you'll immediately get 50,000 (or however many) houses back on the market. You would otherwise need to build 50,000 houses, which would surely require a great deal more effort. Why would you not reach for the lowest-hanging fruit first when attempting to increase the housing supply?
There is hope. My family and friends are planning a trip to New Orleans and everyone was a resounding "NO" when Airbnb was mentioned. We are all tired of the fees and being a maid on our own vacation.
