Personally:

- desktops are now considered "endpoints" or "bootloader for a WebVM" (the monsters improperly named browsers for legacy reasons);

- desktop are the CORE of computing, as long as they are classic networked desktops, meaning a single application, user programmable as a NORMAL usage, like modern Emacs or classic Smalltalk workstations;

- modern desktop OS, both FLOSS and commercials are CRAP, simply because they are things designed with a bad idea in mind. Many from OSX to Gnome SHell (the second capital not a typo) tend to be narcissistic putting at the user sight center the least useful thing "the WM/DE/DS" or the element that should just be used to handle apps and files;

- Windows recently in UI terms have copied some logic FLOSS design, being a bit more usable, things like a reasonable context menu and so on, but it's plagued by the commercial push of ads and nagware anywhere, OSX seems to be an essentially dead product the vendor keep just to have "a complete offer" but they do not want desktop computing, they want grown slaves/child able just to touch a colorful screen with their fingers, FLOSS plethora of WMs tend to be static, only something have happened to the tiling WM landscape, GNU/Linux DE/DS (since tied to systemd) like Kde or Gnome SHell have essentially no idea on how to evolve anymore;

- in applications terms most apps remain in their legacy state or they tend to became DocUIs without being real DocUIs so mimicking WebUIs, becoming monsters to overcome the biggest modern desktop problem, the fact that for commercial reasons we do not have anymore a single application as an OS, meaning the lack of integration with the sole possible IPCs like cut&paste and drag&drop.

Until FLOSS devs realize what we lost embracing modern commercial desktop there will be no chance to recover, the desktop future remain the sorry state of a crappy WebVM bootloader where the user can't even handle it's files much, can't even own information in files (with storage dedicated to specific apps instead of generic files usable with many different tools).

When you say the government it seems like either you’re forgetting about the states, or you are not giving the tenth amendment sufficient weight in your calculation. Or something else?
1. An actual kitchen that's good for cooking complex meals. This is great for family trips on holidays.

2. 3+ bedrooms. Good luck finding that in Hotels.

3. Things like private hot tubs or pools, BBQ in the backyard, etc are almost unheard of in hotels.

4. Laundry machines.

Darktable 4.8 Pulls AI Feature After Discovering It Doesn't Work Well
For my OS class's final project last quarter, I built a way to live-migrate a process (running on a custom OS we built from scratch) from one Raspberry Pi to another, essentially using checkpoint/restore!

Getting the code cleaned up enough to post it has been on my to-do list for quite some time, and this has inspired me to do it soon!
Elasticity of demand is the elephant in the room for build-more-housing advocates. Let's say NYC's mayor rubbed a genie's lamp and wished to double the city's housing supply overnight. Yes, rental and real estate prices would crash through the floor due to the glut of supply. But then millions of people would move to the city and buy up all that supply.

This would rapidly double the population of the city which would cause tons of businesses to move there to hire everyone and then commercial real estate would skyrocket. At the end of the day, the city would be twice as large and more overcrowded than ever. Sure, they'd be more efficient in terms of infrastructure (plumbing, electricity, transit) but rents would skyrocket to capture that extra efficiency for landlords.
iOS 18 API to allow 3rd party accessories to pair quickly like AirPods
I like AirBNB especially for housing me in a regular apartment with more local vibe, won't travel to Barcelona again because I hate hotels for being too impersonal, there are other places that don't close up to visit. I respect their choice, I also prefer tourism on my own terms.

Taxing short term rentals to build affordable housing seems like a good idea to me.
Yes, that's the reason. I am happy that I helped him back then, because he suddenly died just a few months later.
They are not. Polygons are a terrible representation since unlike triangles they do not cleanly represent a unique planar surface. With more than 3 points you will always have an ambiguity (or several) about which (numerical) plane corresponds to the actual face. For some graphics applications this may or may not matter much, but it is very important for anything using the mesh for physical computation.
But it's already well-known, in fact an official part of CCP doctrine, that the intention of economic cooperation was always to build strength while downplaying any notion of China as a threat until the conditions were propitious for China to act more aggressively.

And what of aggressive Chinese actions around the Spratly Islands, which are carried out in violation of a very clear 2016 UNCLOS ruling? What has the US done recently to violate Chinese territorial waters in any similar sort of way?

I actually think that actions by the West over the past ~200 years really set the stage for things that are happening today, but I don't think it's fair to paint China as an innocent actor with pure intentions; they're not.
Well the people are deciding what they want to do with their own city. Individualism has its limits.
Ada Colau yapped about Airbnb too. She was Mayoress for 8 years. And the problem seems to only be worse

We’re current users of workos, for both the SSO and directory sync (which I love) features, but unfortunately the pricing means we have to charge our customers more for it. SSO+DS exceeds the cost of our base plan leading us to having to look at other alternatives and move away eventually :(

Java's version history crawled along at a snail's pace until Java 10, when they switched from a feature-based to a time-based release schedule. The release cycle has been pretty quick after that, since that happened only after 2017 or so.

That, combined with some pretty large changes in the underlying security model, mean that a lot of places have been stuck on Java 8 for a real long time. It's much harder to move from Java 8 to Java 9/10/11 in a lot of places than it is to then go from 9/10/11 to 17, for multiple overlapping tech debt cleanup reasons.

This sounds silly.

70% is ~5.4% yearly, 40% is 3.4% growth yearly. Seems, fine?

These are incredibly reasonable growth rates. Am I missing something?

Hostels and hotels are strictly better in my opinion. I stayed in a hostel in Barcelona. A group of us went to a football game and had a great time.

Strictly speaking, isn't advertising any action that calls attention to a particular product over another? It doesn't have to be directly funded by a manufacturer or a distributor.

I'd consider word-of-mouth a type of advertising as well.
When it comes to a whole application rewrite, I'm pretty certain you should at least be much closer to "never ever rewrite" than "in some cases rewriting makes sense"

If you are talking about refactoring or changing/replacing parts of a system - that's not the same thing. At least to me
10,000 houses on 100k people is actually a substantial portion. I think its totally reasonable. And Airbnb houses that are permanent temp rentals have no special status in law when there's a housing shortage. Building more houses is important, but not incentivizing rental houses and even eliminating them is a good direction, and a significant step towards housing people.
If it requires configuration on the user’s end then it’s no better than SAML from the vendor's perspective. We’d much rather choose specific providers to hook into, based on the likelihood of increasing sign-ups.
It's difficult to quantify. Perhaps it's something as intangible as a space optimized for _living_ (like an apartment) as opposed to a space optimized for _profit_ (like a hotel).

Whatever the case, despite the existence of the options you list, Airbnb's are still popular. There's clearly some significant differentiator between them and an Airbnb.
In the 90s I ran a dial-up BBS, and at some point, I had acquired a 4-CD changer. It was equally satisfying to hear it randomly come to life changing disks as someone had logged on to download something.

The term is populism.
The issue is that the "airbnb" areas drive normal citizens out which during off-seasons drains foot traffic making local shops go out of business which further complicates the problem.

Not to mention that most tourists don't even sit around the local area, but rather go to the city attractions.

Airbnb and resident housing areas are just not compatible, they have different needs and require different infrastructure. Hotels are built around infrastructure supporting tourism and are much healthier for cities.

Elon's father is also notoriously promiscuous and fecund. Inherited personality trait seems the simplest explanation. I'd think wealth is also part of it, but plenty of comparatively poor men father many children with many different women, so there's more to it than that. And wealth cuts both ways--Elon and his father might not have been so wealthy but for their personalities.
> Tokyo

I traveled there regularly, for over 20 years.

Their train system is the Eighth Wonder.

A lot of the reason, is cultural. Trains are a standard part of life. Most shows have significant scenes on commuter trains, as do ads. Probably wouldn’t apply to nations like the US.
That's not how property taxes work.
No, I remember it was like experience of seeing when I was a kid. I really saw stuff when I read the book. Now I kind of imagine it with thinking somehow. Hard to explain.
I don't think I wrote anything about banning AirBnBs one way or the other. By and large, my feeling is communities/municipalities/etc. should have pretty wide latitude about regulations they enact. And if voters en masse don't like it they'll presumably elect someone to do what they want--though of course that takes time.
Because we're adults that realize garbage dumps shouldn't be next to schools. And sometimes as society we make decisions that are good for the majority of people. I'm sure you'd love it if someone poisoned your ground water, but they did it by burying toxic materials on their property.
So, basically, make landownership practically illegal except for primary housing?
I recently stayed in aparthotels in Milan and Casabalanca. It was fantastic.
All politicians have been saying that a decade at least.

In Spain, home owners associations can forbid tourist apartments if they vote it. Why can’t they just do it?

Spain is suffering a multi-centralization process. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Malaga are increasing their populations. The rest of the cities are losing inhabitants. Why? Because the job opportunities are not there.
This is the first true idle/incremental game.

The whole genre sits on a spectrum between this and cookie-clicker bookending the other end of the incremental genre (CC is a very active game by modern standards, assuming you don't "cheat" by scripting the clicks).

( There are more involved/complex/active games than CC of course, but if we're picking influential games I don't think many have been as influential as these.)

Anyway, if you enjoy Progress Quest, then a halfway between Progress Quest and a "real" game is "Melvor Idle", which introduces very light inventory management into an otherwise still rather idle game with few decisions other than picking what your idling time is spent doing. It's obviously Runescape influenced, without actually having control of a character.

That said, despite enjoying a lot of the incremental genre, it sits uncomfortably between parody and not.

Progress quest is more obviously a parody. It was good fun back in the day trolling people about the graphical version easter egg.
There likely is an off the shelf OIDC SP provider you can use for the actual "hard parts".

If you already use something like "Sign in with {Google,Facebook,Twitter,Apple}" you are already doing part of it.

I have built several products now with OIDC support for authentication (not authorization) and it has never taken more than a day or two to wire it up.
True, and I agree this is nowhere near enough. But wouldn't a "defense in depth" approach be wise? There are no all or nothing solutions, especially when it comes to policy in a large city. Any bit of relief will no doubt likely be welcome.
Is their any blogs or videos about how these ingots are produced? The cost of blank wafers for a hobbyist is just so steep that im looking into making my own silicone blank wafers.
Following your logic, why not ban hotels?
Or more primitively than that, I've seen small offices have an old shared phone with a bulging battery that's used for 2fa (or even just having it attached to someone's personal phone and just asking them for the code when you need to log in).
>Abdulrahman al-Awlaki's father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Missed highlighting that part. The boy also wasn't the target of the strike anyway. Was the wife from the other user's story living with an al-Qaeda leader as well?
Neither of your examples distinguish 8 and 17, and a few things highlighted in the article that do can only be said to make things simpler and easier, like records and text blocks.
A backhoe is orders of magnitude more complex than a shovel. A team struggling to dig a pit with shovels would probably benefit immensely from a backhoe. The idea that workers shouldn't get better tools until they can succeed without them is insane.
There's a wide variety of possibilities here:

- Not wanting staff or service.

- Wanting something that looks and feels like a home rather than a hotel room. This isn't available everywhere.

- Wanting something that isn't shared with a bunch of other hotel guests. (Aside: I have no problems with apartment buildings banning AirBnB/VRBO, because that's much more "cheap hotel substitute that might bother neighbors" than "unique offering that isn't likely to bother anyone".)

- In general, wanting something unique that doesn't tend to exist as a hotel.
What’s a TOC if not a list? At a document level, if you were to build a TOC in word for example, wouldn’t you use a list?

And why would you display a TOC differently as a client? A TOC is a list of items and should be displayed as that imo.
Here in Europe building denser housing is extremely frowned upon by cultural conservatives, who unfortunately are in charge everywhere. That's why there's hardly any high-rises in Europe.

Extreme height restrictions combined with extreme regulatory costs is what has lead to this issue.

Show a European politician, especially a local one in charge of urban development, an image from Tokyo and they will recoil in horror.

Here in Europe everything must be flat and look cultural.
As they should. Speculating with housing is as disgusting as speculating with healthcare, the fact that is normalized in countries such as USA makes it not less disgusting.
Canada needs to relax their zoning policies a lot and build a ton more buildings. People mostly want to be in one of 3 destinations in Canada:

* Vancouver

* Toronto

* Montreal

Which is where high paying jobs are, and which are mostly zoned for houses.
We should at least stop treating population growth as an economic necessity (mostly because of corporations and the need to service a debt bubble).

Where it ends up in the extreme case is people living on top of each other.
IdleRPG in IRC was also great fun.

I've tried writing my own version, with significantly more ambition, but got hung up on two issues every time:

1. Overly ambitious! I wanted it to be a general API, so that you could hook up Slack, IRC or Discord to it.

2. I wanted users to give their idle avatars goals, or be able to interact with the game despite it being mostly idle (e.g., "go this way", "be aggressive against everyone you meet", "try to avoid danger", etc.), but didn't have a great way of processing those instructions in a way that meshed with the "tick"-based processing of everything else going on with the game.

No glibc will not fix it and the rolling release distros are now patching their libc.

Here is the list of ABI breaking changes:

https://abi-laboratory.pro/?view=timeline&l=glibc

Also a system layer isn't just the C library. Other core Linux libraries often break their ABI too.
My advice would be to wait until a big enough customer is willing to pay through the nose for it. You’re “lucky” in that you charge per user so it’s easy to model into your pricing :)
> Where in Barcelona would you increase density?

It would make sense to increase density around existing rail infrastructure. Barcelona has 7700 km2 of space, that's a lot. They have only 750 persons per km2 on average. Especially the outskirts of the province have really bad density. For example, Sant Joan de Vilatorrada has only 660 inhabitants per km^2 and it is only 3 km from the railway station, 80 min from the Sants station. That density is worse than Phoenix, Arizona, which has 1198/km2. So there is lots of available space.

Note that these numbers are of the Province of Barcelona. I don't know why you'd restrain yourself to the city proper. Here is a dense map of rail: https://www.urbanrail.net/eu/es/bcn/bcn-region-map.htm

Sprint Boot is the part of the Java ecosystem I most want to escape from.
The elephant in the room for people who are against building enough housing is that they're all convinced that everyone would move to their particular locale.

I have heard that "everyone" would move to

* San Francisco

* Bend, Oregon

* Boulder, Colorado

* Seattle

* Austin, Texas

* New York City

* Santa Barbara, California

* Hawaii

* Montana

* and on and on and on

You know what? No, not everyone is going to move to New York or Bend or San Francisco. Building more housing keeps rents in check. And if some more people get to live in a place they want to be, that is a good thing.
Disagree. I live in Vietnam and speak it daily. Not sure why you are throwing Wikipedia at me :)

But I'll throw it back at you:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_morphology#:~:tex....

"Vietnamese is often considered to be monosyllabic as its morphemes are considered to be monosyllabic e.g. "tim" meaning "heart". However, some Vietnamese words may consist of one or more syllables, composed of monosyllabic morphemes that form together to create another word. An instance of a compound word "mạnh mẽ" is derived from morphemes mạnh meaning "strong", mẽ meaning "dramatic", fused together to create the word mạnh mẽ to mean "powerful".

There is a general tendency for words to have one or two syllables. Words with two syllables are often of Sino-Vietnamese origin. A few words are three or four syllables. A few polysyllabic words are formed from reduplicative derivation."

Basically - monosyllabic.

Is it a beautiful day where you are? You should go outside and enjoy it:)

I’m a developer whose experience with SQL is limited to writing basic queries, window functions and combining those with CTEs.

All my business logic is written in a highly expressive language. It’s conveniently easy to read, change, and test.

And still, I’d like to learn how to implement complex business logic within the realm of my database so I can use it when appropriate.

What resources would you recommend for learning and practicing to write business logic in SQL, including good practices and testing?
Impressive. Is the reason for this "2FA server" to circumvent per-seat licensing, or some other reason?
> Genuinely curious about others’ takes on this

My take is that real estate sold to foreigners is the best kind of export. You sell the good to the foreign investor, but the good stays in place. From time to time that investor visits and drops money in the local economy. Most of the time the guy is not there, but pays taxes. Pays taxes but does not consume government services.
> what modern Java should be

They just have different philosophies. I'm not much of a fan of Kotlin or C#. I prefer Go, Java, and Clojure.
No one is suggesting getting rid of industrial zoning. "getting rid of zoning" for the vast majority of people saying it means removing density restrictions and mixed use (business + residential) restrictions.
I don't know enough about LLMs to understand if its feasible or not but it seems like it would be useful to make certain tasks hard-coded or add some fundamental constraints on it. Like when making footprints, it should always check that the number of pads is never less than the number of schematic symbol pins. Otherwise, the AI just feels like your worst coworker
It still doesn't exactly look great that they "just" need ~45 years of house production to have happened yesterday.

You can't stop the free market. Once it's out of the bag, given a long enough time-frame without volatility (technological innovation/political turbulence/labor/etc.) it always returns to feudalism. Sand aggregates into the form of a pyramid in the absence of winds. So do societies.
