And who's going to rent their property to every homeless person? You? I'm unclear on what the volume of available housing has to do with this. That housing is owned by people who are free to rent it or not rent it as they see fit. Are you saying that the federal government should just confiscate it so it can be given to homeless people free of charge? Or that those owners should be forced to sign leases with homeless people? Who gets to decide which homeless people get which vacant houses?

And a large chunk of the homeless population are drug addicts with serious mental health problems. All the free housing in the world isn't going to help them. So what does an owner forced to rent his property to a homeless person do if that person trashes the place, doesn't pay rent, causes problems in the neighborhood, etc.? Evict them? That just means that some other homeowner is compelled to be a landlord for this person (in your system).
The Grant's Pass law provides repeat homeless campers with shelter and keeps them off the streets for up to 30 days per offense.

That's expensive, of course, so cities will have the incentive to do what the city of Chico did when it provided an outdoor shelter facility for the homeless. A district court refused to allow Chico to enforce it's ban on camping even though it had that facility, because it was an outdoor facility not an indoor one. This ruling gives cities the ability to say "you can camp here, not there".
For character sets, typing is use, so the asker is directly using them in order to ask what their use is. It's sufficient for their use to be talking about them.
For me it's a difficult field. The thoughts "I could have written this myself, but maybe better" and "I will never understand this" occur with similar frequencies
Is it possible that the overall increase in flights, areas served, and data collection is simply giving us more coverage?
> Don't act like complaints about the courts are just liberal tantrums.

They're not usually so much tantrums as biased, hypocritical argumentation developed backwards to arrive at the politically desired result.
“There was obviously overlap between the Supreme Court list that Heritage put out, which I compiled and which was available to all the candidates who were running, and the list Donald Trump put out,”

They really are congratulating themselves on Federalist Society's work. Leonard Leo was the one working the list.
My younger self would have used the umlaut character for 'ditto'.

To some extent the character set was still evolving, for example the Euro sign was not around until decades later and that would need to be bolted together with backspace characters or escape codes, maybe even downloaded characters, with the printer specific manual (Epson) studied at great length.

In the DOS era (and before with home micros that were programmed in BASIC) it was quite normal to compose things for the printer that you had no expectation of seeing on screen, not that anyone read much on screen (as everyone had vast piles of paper on their desk).

Until quite recently some POS systems were very much tied in to a very specific printer, at least these character sets were a step forward from hard coding a BASIC program to an exact make and model of printer.

What If Facebook Were a Nonprofit? (2014)
I think you're missing the ideological motivation. It's all about ensuring a healthier system of checks and balances. When courts are forced to defer to unelected bureaucrats, they serve basically no purpose - yet our entire legal system is supposed to be predicated on checks and balances at all levels. By returning the ability of courts to hear and legally judge the merits of law, at their discretion, you help maintain an overall healthier system of checks and balances.

It all comes down to centralization vs decentralization. In a completely decentralized system you will never have an amazing outcome, because there will always be plenty of people doing stupid things - this includes judges. Yet you will also never have a horrible system, for basically the same reason - there will always be plenty of people doing 'smart' things. By contrast, centralized systems can yield a complete utopia under the oversight of socially motivated, intelligent, and highly capable leadership. Yet they can also yield the most unimaginably horrific dystopias under self centered, foolish, and incapable leadership.

So which does one prefer? In the end I suspect this is one of those issues where we all think other people think the same, but they most certainly do not. I personally could not imagine anything other than a system decentralized, to its greatest extremes, in every way imaginable. Because if I look at the political types of modern times "socially motivated, intelligent, and highly capable" are not generally the first words that come to mind.
I understand you being offended. I'm sure internet users outside of the US are annoyed by US posters using terms/abbreviations that mean different things to different countries. However, I did purposefully add the question "Is WA commonly thought of as \"Western Australia\" worldwide outside of the US?" as a form of olive branch to people outside of the US, in case I'm the one being ignorant here. So in this case, I kind of think your inflammatory comment is unwarranted though.
Funny you mention that. I was going to say "oh no. you can do Kanban with Jira," but then I remembered that every place I've seen that "does Kanban" is really doing some local spiral-waterfall-esque process, but using the Kanban board on Jira. And even those are using Kanban without telling their management chain because their management chain would freak out because they can't spell Kanban and after going to "Scrum Camp for Managers," they at least know how to spell Scrmu. (very clearly this is not all managers. I've had the pleasure of working with several people who really know what they're doing. But I think it's all to often you find a stunned management chain who's trying to make sense of Scrum.)

I should have been clearer as to what my point was: Just 'cause you're using the tool (Jira) does not mean you're automagically using the process (Scrum).

And maybe a related side-point: Scrum (like Agile) is a way of thinking about software development. Not everyone gets that. That might be the value of a good Scrum-Master. I've yet to see a good Scrum-Master in the wild. Most of the ones I've encountered are just dudes who tweak Jira settings half the day and use the other half of the day poking at Jira's SQL schema so they can fix config errors they made before they learned how the current version of Jira works. Or... in other words... if you're only filling out Jira tickets and only doing the ceremonies, then you're leaving half of Scrum's value on the table. Too many people do this.
US Supreme Court Curbs SEC's In-House Judges in Fraud Cases
Something can be illegal even if cops are not resting everyone who does it. That's the worse situation in fact, when it becomes the sole discretion of individual police officers who to punish.
It all sounds great on paper, but real world ambiguity has to be dealt with on an expert level with some teeth.
Pls read the article, in particular note the part about power consumption.
Formally, yes, but in practice there's an enormous difference in the number and kind of records that might contain a comma and the number and kind that might contain a non-printable record seperator.

This difference carries over to C, where NULL got the job done for string termination pretty darn well, even if there were strong critiques to be weighed against it.
I disagree with this, but I understand where it's coming from. I think you have a form of whiplash from things like:
- Novices overusing the new shiny.
- Java/C++/etc Jr programmers overusing design patterns.
- Perl programmers solving everything with regexes.
- Small startups with GraphQL, or any other large enterprise tool.
- Metaprogramming, Maco's, Dependency injection, Recursion, etc when a simpler solution is a better fit.

IMHO, a "best codebase" will be just a bit more advanced than I am, with good resources for me to grok it. I want to be able to learn from it. I also don't want to be so far out of my depth that I can't make a reasonable contribution.
LAX is especially bad because of all the avgas burned. I've seen studies done where being directly downwind of lax relative to the other parts of southla not as downwind have marked increases in health issues. Port of LA is also a bad area. So is san bernardino and riverside county as the prevailing coastal breeze tends to push quite a bit of pollution off the la basin and into the san gabriel valley. You get up high to the highest reaches of hilly neighborhoods like bel air, you might actually be high enough to be totally above the usual inversion layer and have a dramatically different air quality than those maybe 10 minutes downhill on your street.
This article seems like a rehash of the recent Veritasium video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6akmv1bsz1M

For example, compare the picture of Karl Schwarzschild in the article to 7:54 in the Veritasium video. Just a coincidence?

This wasn’t necessarily a technical vulnerability.
*Correction: the cities can ban camps.

It would still be a violation to ban "homeless" camps, and the decision was very clear that homelessness is a protected status, but just because you have a protected status does not mean you get to break laws that do not target you.

"Under the city’s laws, it makes no difference whether the charged defendant is homeless, a backpacker on vacation passing through town, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protest on the lawn of a municipal building."
The problem I have is, I'll revisit code I wrote 1-2 months prior and swear someone else wrote it.

Ask HN: Tracking Coding Friction Points?
I work with a stack that’s pretty brittle, and in a constant state of flux. As such, I spend most of my time fixing broken compiles, chasing down problems that are red herrings (e.g., my branch suddenly has a test failing, but it turns out that’s totally unrelated to my changes), etc. I spend only a small fraction of my time on the actual “business logic” (aka “useful work”).

I would love to be able to track this stuff, so at the end-of-the-week standup I have a better idea where all my time went.

I’m looking for a good tool to help me do this. Here’s the most important features:

1) Voice dictation, so I can say things like, “I’m now rebasing and recompiling the whole codebase, because test X is now broken and I haven’t changed anything that should affect it.” Taking text notes wouldn’t be a deal-breaker, but voice dictation seems like it would work better.

2) The ability to ask for an AI-based weekly summary. e.g.,

- You finished the AAA refactor and got that installed.
- you spent a full day and a half on spinning your wheels on BBB because of the change to CCC
- you paired with Alice to debug DDD
- you helped Bob fix his problem with EEE
- while working on FFF, you found a problem with GGG and preemptively fixed it

I’m not a contractor working on multiple client projects, so this isn’t a billing thing. I just find at the end of the week, I’m disappointed in how much stuff got closed. I forget all the friction points and distractions that sucked up time—as well as lots of little wins!

Would appreciate hearing how others approach this problem.
I am a layperson so I appreciate the attention on the matter.

Regardless of how Entrust is operated, there appears to be significant complexity in CA program that the browsers operate. On the flip side, Let’s Encrypt is basically effortless for me to use, as an end user of an LE secured site and as a developer. Why misallocate all this toil on root CA compliance on the one hand, when LE could redirect that labor towards something valuable instead? What is so challenging about giving LE full leadership on this issue? Where does the proverbial political strength of Entrust and similar entities come from, in an ecosystem where there are functionally 5 cooperating, more or less transparent entities that decide the trust of certificates for 99% of end users? Why does anyone care about any of the CAs?
I would like to see a law that requires all new big box stores to cover their roofs in solar panels as well as the entire parking lot in raised solar.

Imagine if your car was protected from the elements and charging at the same time while you're inside shopping.

How many megawatts can we generate from covering the rooftops of the existing IKEAs, Walmarts, Targets, Home-Depots etc...
My understanding per RFC 3986 is this is a valid URL.

The authority consists of a host with a blank name and blank path (path-abempty).

The issue is a lot of libraries do not make a distinction between a field explicitly being declared blank and being left undeclared (e.g. nil vs ""). Looks like rather than change python's URL library to recognize this distinction, they created an exception list that just hard-codes output behavior.

One can make a case that client software should be robust enough to handle both forms of URL (e.g. itms-service URLs are likely just URI, but the original developers thought all URI should have two forward slashes in them). I can say specifically for "scheme://" calls that such robustness on the recipient side is very rare, because if they understood URI well enough to be robust then they wouldn't have had two extra slashes that they will never use.
Two ways to go wrong in predicting AI
No problem, go to your municipal meetings and let them know you are in favor of allowing camping in public spaces in your municipality. If you vote in your local elections your representatives may also have similar opinions to yours. Talk to your friends and neighbors to ask how they feel about it too, maybe they agree.

Democracy.
To this day I believe black holes remain a mostly theoretical phenomena. Which also happens to deal with infinity-mathematics in the singularity, something we don't see in reality otherwise.

Yes, observations have been made to their advantage, through LIGO and more recently the image from 2022 of a black hole made by the Event Horizon Telescope. But I would stress that the ""image"" is much more complex than simply a photo from really good ""telescope"", it's a image made of combined data from radio telescopes all around the world. There is enough weird hoops that they need jump through that the observation can reasonably be doubted in my opinion, which isn't to say that what they've attempted is awesome and inspiring.

Please correct me if you have other information.
P.S.: To reiterate, exactly what do you think the "not dumb" result should have been? What sentence of words could the Supreme Court have responded with that would satisfy you while (A) not wildly overstepping their own powers and (B) not upending centuries of other law considered good and (C) not creating massive new problems and loopholes?

Here's a quick "unit test" to apply: Could I steal and eat all the food I want with total impunity, provided I am careful to ensure my wallet is always empty so that paying for it in that moment is never an option?

Aeron chair - I bought this in 1999 and it's been much more comfortable than any chair I've used at any office I've ever worked in.

4k monitor - Picked this up on a Black Friday sale 1.5 years ago. It's much easier on my eyes than the HD monitor my company provides in the office.

KVM - Allows me to switch between my work laptop and some of the higher end embedded machines I work with. I end up needing to swap cables at work.
The 1984 decision was a case contesting the agency system's authority. The result of that case confirmed the status quo, which existed long before 1984.

In that case the projects should merge.

That or react native should rename to Expo.
I mean just delta-v to do the intercept in the first place. I suppose you could choose space junk that is already on a near intercept with the aerogel dispenser satellite or use something like spin deployment to launch the gels.

Can aerogel be manufactured by the satellite itself? That would be pretty cool. It also seems nearly as effective as a weapon though, a spy satellite with a camera or solar panels caked with aerogel is as good as destroyed.
> Perhaps they should not be crafting new laws concerning things that they do not understand.

Which is why instead of crafting new laws concerning things they do not understand, they appoint agencies for the purpose of understanding the things and regulating them.

> If this results in fewer new laws, that may be better.

It certainly does if you don't like your patent medicines being regulated.

> If this also results in their having to spend more time doing homework on new urgent laws of greater importance, that may also be a good thing.

This ruling will do the exact opposite at best. Again, the point of federal agencies is to take on the burden of understanding and regulating specific domains. That way congress can work on the broad strokes and leave the details to expert they can consult.

> A return to the Constitutional prescription that Congress writes the laws, the Executive administers them, and the Courts interpret them certainly does not seem inappropriate

That is not what this ruling does. This ruling is a decision by the courts that policy is decided by the courts. Even though congress delegates to executive agencies for that exact purpose.

Literally the first test of the Chevron doctrine is "does the law already cover this specific issue". The second test is "is the agency allowed to interpret or regulate this issue under its statutes".

If the first is a yes, then the agency has no grounds to go against congress. If the second is a no, then the agency does not have standing. Otherwise, the courts defer to the agency as the agent of congress on the matter.

> If it's a bandwidth issue, maybe we should up the number of judiciary and lower the number of extra-judicial agency bureaucrats.

That does not follow, makes absolutely no sense, and would in fact do the exact opposite. Because under the completely wacky idea that agencies have no rulemaking or regulatory powers they would have to be staffed by 90% lawyers as they would have to bring everything to court.

Again, against the express purpose of their establishment and statutes.

I missed that when I read the article. But that is part of it, it just says "the Bible". For me, I just think of the Tanakh, or what Christians call the Old Testament. It did not occur to me that this could mean a Christian scriptural-literalist interpretation until I read of Walters' background. Like Sarah Silverman said, in this country, if you are sworn in court or government office, "it's not even my Bible".

When I visited a county fair in Texas once, somebody handed me a booklet that was just the New Testament, which blew my mind. I did not know that Christians just drop the Hebrew Bible.

To me, this is the obvious answer. Posting an ad is clearly worth some small cost to a legitimate seller. For spammers, it's a much bigger impediment, and it also establishes a money trail to who they are.
In that alternate universe nobody would have put them into some varchar column? The edge case still exists, which means that the standard would need to support it somehow, and we're back to exactly square one.
Yeah, if only it didn't run on a "first past the post" system...
Ah, I run lineageOS without root. Well, while, I have yet to see if it still does any outgoing... malicious connections, it is certainly safer than stock rom with massive amount of bloatware, and all.. the built in things..., and the version itself, being quite outdated.

And to be fair, this is good enough for me. If I worry about such built in firmware every time I get a device, well, my hair would be gray by the time I hit 30s lol.

As for benefits, I mean, in the end, this is what I wanted. An e-ink phone, with a proper, normal ROM. And because LineageOS is cute.
Similar thing in the Philippines. A common scenario is someone will invite another to an event, and the answer is "maybe" instead of directly saying yes or no. This also irritated me before until someone gave me a possible explanation: It's actually a privilege for someone to be in control of his personal schedule.

There are a lot of examples on how someone is not privileged enough to be able to fix his own schedule, but one example that I remember is that there are people who have uncertain or irregular salary payment schedules, so even if they really want to join that weekend nightout, they don't know if they will already have their money by that time. Or someone's salary is so low, they are willing to work as much overtime as they can, so they might not immediately commit to an invite because there might be an opportunity to work overtime on that day, night, or the day after.

It just seems like a bizarre way to use human tissue.
I don't really understand how it could be any other way.

If you envision a hypothetical city which has too many unhoused persons relative to the city's financial ability to support those people - then what? The unhoused just die in the street unable to be moved somewhere that has sufficient resources to support them?

I get that there's a lot more nuance to this problem and that the ruling can be abused/used to enforce NIMBYism/jail the unhoused, but, fundamentally, cities have to have the ability to move citizens because the city is aware of its own financial ability to provide support, but the citizens within are allowed to be uninformed.
Are there no workhouses?

To an outsider, it's remarkable how durable this attitude has been.
This is a home-run comment, particularly this:

> It's a world where Congress has no other function but to create regulatory agencies to which they appoint their campaign staff, thinktank creatures, friendly professors, lobbyists, and each other's friends and family.

And they call anything that takes power away from this unelected shadow government "anti-democratic."
