The Bug in the Computer Bug Story (2022)
That's not most municipalities though.

There are a lot of places, particularly the high demand places, where the cost of acquiring the houses in the first place is the hang up. Everyone is certain they can get half a mil minimum. That drives costs considerably when you need 1/2 a block, or a full block for high density development. It's not easy. You could even have to end up giving the current land owners some preferential share of the finished development. Which, of course, means there's less profit for other potential partners at the end.

People ask, why are apartments so expensive? In high demand areas, that's a big part of the reason. Land acquisition costs were so high that it precludes building anything that can offer that <USD3000 a month price tag. (And to be honest, that's not even all that affordable really. But it illustrates how the numbers on a lot of these new developments work out.)

Usually the municipality or the state has to step in with some kind of break in order to make the numbers work out. And that's when we get to the step you're talking about where the state or the municipality demands this or that or the other. But the politicians have to demand something for the break, or it's seen as just having handed over taxpayer money to their buddies in construction. ie - corruption.

So from beginning to end, it's a tough problem.

EDIT:

It seems before I even finished typing my message, sibling messages appeared illustrating the point I was making in the last paragraph. There is no way in today's environment of completely broken down professionalism and trust, that a politician can give a concession without getting something for his/her community that s/he can use as justification for the concession. Otherwise, people, rightly or wrongly, just see it as handing free money to a politician's friends.
> turn the screws on our employees

This is gross..

> I also started looking into every legal protection I had available to me in my jurisdiction.

But so is this. I’d rather quit some crappy place than rely on legal protections.
Not to worry, I usually just say "hi" and wait for them to respond before asking the question.
But they can still do that even if there's a cost calculator upfront. Removing the calculator simply obfuscates the ability to estimate cost with the happy justification that fault lies with the customers who all seem to be bad at estimation.
Good window management is a niche skill (on the user side). I often see "normies" waste so much time tabbing between windows or turning their heads between monitors or whatnot. When I want stuff side by side, I press a hotkey to arrange stuff side by side. My WM has a bunch of tags (virtual desktops on steroids), where each tag has its own purpose and a dedicated default layout (tiled for terminals, fullscreen for a browser, etc).

I feel like "tiled vs non-tiled" is a false dichotomy. It's tiled and floating and full screen and spiraling and horizontal split and vertical split, etc.

The right tool for the job.
Yep. Debuggers are more powerful, they can do everything `printf` debugging can do + more, but take more work to set up. For interpreted languages, they often take more work to use than just adding a print statement & rerunning, for compiled languages the reverse is more likely.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Don't feed the trolls.
> It’s basically a website that returns reviews that reference a specific menu item regarding a specific restaurant.

The more fundamental problem with reviews is:

A) People have shit taste in food (grandpa who can't taste salt anymore and the family in BFE where every Sunday dinner is at IHop shouldn't be reviewing food)

B) Food is inconsistent

Health Department reviews of restaurants however, is a great indicator of quality and care.
You can also get true tiling window management with Amethyst, or Hammerspoon if you love customizing things in Lua and starting from an absolutely empty configuration.
> In other contexts there’s no problem with using proprietary data to set prices, so long as you don’t run afoul of insider trading regulations.

I believe the parent comment mentioned proprietary data for accuracy, since you had only mentioned publicly available data. Parent comment then goes on to describe various ways Realpage does violate monopoly power.
The sample chapter doesn’t really give me much confidence that I will learn anything new from _your_ mistakes.

I like EXWM because it fits in with my continuing Emacs obsession lol
I'd imagine SOHO situations are the the most likely to benefit not Joey Gamer. It also really feels like more of a commercial vs residential offering. Unless your house is running a camming website where multiple feeds are being pushed simultaneously. We all have different hobbies
Hard disagree.

I'm a Sway user and tiling wm evangelist, I absolutely do not want a suite of preinstalled software to come baked into my wm/compositor. I'm happy to install the software that I need.

If someone wants to distribute a complete Linux desktop with a tiling wm as default, that would be interesting, but a generic DE with a tiling wm to me seems like a waste of time.
Do you know of anyone who took out student loans to buy a home? Presumably, the OP was saying that debt was already spent on something non-fungible (like education). By most examples, that money is spent by the time a student graduates.
> Transparency is key to preventing rumors from shaping the narrative

Which narrative and why should they care? Durov is a French citizen who has been arrested in France following a clearly legal action.

You will probably hear nothing from the judicial authorities during his garde à vue because one, it would serve no purpose, two, it's very rare to hear the judicial authorities make public statement in France especially for investigation which doesn't particularly interest the public and at this point the French public don't seem to care about the whole thing at all.

I expect Durov's lawyer to make a statement at some point during of after his garde à vue however once they know what he has been charged with.
For those on macOS, yabai + skhd have been part of my workflow for years now. They are fantastic to bridge the gap I miss so much from i3.
Hi, do you happen to have to have some resources for someone interested in using red light therapy? Or even just a simple buying tip to get started. As someone with quite high myopia and a little bit of astigmatism thrown in, I'm at higher risk of myopic macular degeneration, so red light therapy might be extra useful!
I've been loving Kamal in production. What problems did you run into?
OK fine, it’s the international plate code for Switzerland: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_regist...
Or you can use something with straight-forward pricing, like Digital Ocean. I don't understand why AWS is default for everything. People need to snap out of that racket.
Is this the same video that was found via FOIA, but was on an old tape format of some kind that the NSA couldn't/wouldn't read?
You are right! The issues usually happen when you add more complexity (tiers, discounts, credit notes, coupons, prepaid credits). Also, what I find very tough is that this is not a « one stop shop »: every single company has it’s own definition of what should be included or excluded from the MRR. I am pretty sure you never end up on an universal definition
Well that depends on your ability to self-regulate!

Do you constantly interrupt people and prevent them from doing work? If someone says they are busy and need a few minutes, do you ignore them and continue to interrupt what they do? Do you get angry if someone can't drop what they are doing to cater to your impulse?

Do your co-workers feel like working with you is like working with a child?

That is what my children do to me, and that is what "children in adult bodies" do in the workplace.
> I doubt that Firefox is better, I seem to remember that building Firefox and the VIA C3 processor years back as around half a day of compiling, but was also an extremely poorly choose CPU for the task.

Around 6-7 years back, I was able to make a change & build Firefox from source on a mid-range gaming laptop without much fiddling. I think the build took may be around an hour or more and it was not too long to stand out.

I haven't tried building chromium to compare but from my past experience, Firefox's build was not too challenging for first time contributors.
One thing I love about kwin is that the exposé feature lets you navigate the windows with the keyboard. macOS itself doesn’t have that feature.
In Europe we have had gigabit at home for 8+ years (and it is cheap - 15$/month), and gigabit routers are provided by the ISP, why wouldn't it be the same everywhere else.

It is not like gigabit is state of the art anymore, we are now starting to upgrade to 10 gigabit at home, 1 gigabit routers are cheap, and ISP's buy them in bulk.
I think part of it is marketing and part of it is building last-mile infrastructure that doesn’t need to be upgraded for a long time. Last-mile is already such a pain, you might as well build something that will last.

(Just my guess.)
Let's find a solution that doesn't poke even more holes in what little social safety net the US has.
> I actually get a lot of utility out of eww

I do too. And the underlying shr rendering library is invaluable when so much of email traffic is text/html. A bunch of other stuff like mastodon.el and devdoc.el rely on it too.

> It is getting increasingly difficult to use;

In my experience it's not that much worse than it was 10 years ago. By the time eww came about the JS-less browsing ship has long sailed. The sort of stuff that was working back then still tends to work now. We lost some good sites like the BBC text-only mode but also gained some nice text proxies like 68k.news and brutalist.report.
"We need more desktop environments" - Nooo, absolutely not. You need one or maybe two good ones, and it can have tiling as a feature or at worst plugin. The fragmentation and lack of key features and stability testing as a result is already a major reason for people not to adopt Linux desktops. And even if we don't consolidate, there is already an idiotic amount of just different tiling desktop environments, let alone all desktop environments. What on earth do you want even more for? Just add features to existing ones, so that everybody benefits. Competition isn't really needed in open source, since you can just add all of the things to one shared solution. Imagine if everybody suggested making a brand new kernel for each combination of hardware, or the likes.
Yeah. The Xserve went nowhere and they mostly succeeded in business because (at least some classes of) users became much more able to dictate the devices they used for work.
You're assuming everybody wants/needs a single family with a yard.

SFHs should be expensive and considered a luxury. At least in a desirable urban/suburban location.

We could/should/must provide more housing in those desirable areas, but it likely should be a mix of high-rise, mid-rise, small apartment units (which could be owner-occupied or rentals), duplexes and triplexes, and row-homes/townhomes.
Land Value Tax[0] is the way. It strongly incentivizes the following:

>The owner of a vacant lot in a thriving city must still pay a tax and would rationally perceive the property as a financial liability, encouraging them to put the land to use in order to cover the tax. LVT removes financial incentives to hold unused land solely for price appreciation, making more land available for productive uses. Land value tax creates an incentive to convert these sites to more intensive private uses or into public purposes.

The entire purpose of a land value tax is to encourage the productive use of land, which boils down to either building stuff on it to make it more productive or selling it to someone else so they can largely do the same.

Otherwise it is a simple tax burden to hold. While extremely wealthy individuals may choose to do this, its unlikely that businesses (like PE firms) are going to let their tax obligations stack over time and hold empty land / buildings etc. Same goes for individuals who are taxed at wildly different rates (like in California with Prop 13) simply based on time of sale

> It's a bit surprising to see the former used by an American author in an American publication, however.

Strange things happen to American writers who read lots of Russian novels translated by Brits.
after at least a year of regular posts on real page, where all the articles I’ve seen here specifically cite how real page enforces their pricing, why are there always posts that lead off with an entirely incorrect understanding of what real page does?

Anytime a real page article is posted, a bunch of people come out expressing confusion and defend real page, asking why it’s illegal to look up competitor pricing…

Then they express surprise when told that real page does more than that - that it actually sets the prices and makes the price onerous to change and applies penalties if landlords still does change the price.

But this info is always stated in the articles, so what how or where are the posters getting their initial incorrect info on real page? It seems they must be getting bad info somewhere because it doesn’t seem plausible to guess at how real page works without even reading anything.

And all of the incorrect understandings are always generous to real page.. is real page putting out a lot of fud somewhere that’s getting to people who then come here after being misled?
Launch it first and get feedback. Just think it as a preparation for your next project.
> you can’t really expect much engineering resources to be devoted to them

I wouldn't say that, given that we have plenty of tiling WMs are most of them are well-maintened. Not to mention Linux distros that already provide one of them as options, such as Manjaro.

There's also Amethyst and Yabai for Mac, so, even if it is a niche there's demand for it
Current Zlib-Rs Performance
I am thankful every day that Ziply Fiber bought out Frontier in the PNW. They offer up to 50Gbps service and are rock solid (at least at my 2Gbps plan).

They are active on reddit (or was when I used to use it), have a YouTube channel, and even offered tours of their switch buildings to fans!

You shouldn't have tons of interference on 5 and 6 GHz.

Even without wifi 7 and just using 5GHz, I think your estimate of 100mbit and that gigabit is too much for wifi is overly pessimistic.
Yev here -> Ask in the blog comments and we can try to get some smarter eyes on than mine on it!
I live in Chattanooga, TN and it seems like a better deal ($300 if you want a 10Gb link, with other decent low cost options. It really seems like the rest of the US has missed the boat with municipal ISPs.

As others said, you really need to upgrade your home LAN to get much of a boost. I splurged on a nice Intel NIC with quad 10Gb RJ45 ports, and am running a OpenSense router in a VM. I now need a nice 10Gb switch to make the most of, since everything downstream from the router is on 1Gb speed.
I work exclusively on the display of a 15-inch laptop, and I frequently have 2, less frequently 3, tiled windows.
I was looking at many of these "selfhosted Heroku" type of solutions recently and read many HN discussions about the different options (coolify.io, ploi, ...) as I migrated to a new server and always copying, adapting nginx configs got a bit old.

I've landed on Dokku in the end as it's the one with the least amount of "magic" involved and even if I stopped using it I could just uninstall it and have everything still running. Can highly recommend it!

The developer is also super responsive and I even managed to build a custom plugin without knowing too much about it with some assistance. Documented this on my blog too: https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/deploying-docker-images-wi...
For a while I used XMonad (as a window manager) together with Xfce (as a desktop environment). It had its rough edges, but I really liked the experience. I could easily fit my windows on the screen the way I wanted to, while still getting the integration of a well-designed desktop environment.

Alas, I had to drop this setup on moving to Wayland. And I can’t get it back easily, because Wayland compositors generally don’t allow for their window managers to be swapped out. I now use Sway WM, which is perfectly acceptable… but I still miss my tiling desktop environment.
such a trip, beginning of this year it didnt have that many stars

im banned from heztner because my card expired and i coudnt pay invoice, can i register as a company?
how? you can use tor for the entire process of getting and using the number
Even for the most voracious "Linux ISO" consumers it's well into diminishing returns, with a single gigabit connection it only takes 5 minutes to download a 50GB Bluray remux. That's already at the point where you can download the absolute highest quality video an order of magnitude faster than you can watch it. For data hoarders, one gigabit is already enough to fill a 10TB HDD in less than a day.
Dokku doesn't mention "serverless" anywhere, it's just this persons blog post that uses this word wrongly.
You still haven't made clear how I am poorer when I, the hypothetical provider of education, gained $100,000 from the student.

The student is giving up the future money they would have otherwise used to buy a home in order to give it to me, sure, but we already know that. That was established in the comment about Michigan. Did you forget to the read the entire thread, or something?
When I moved a few years ago into Verizon Fios territory, I was excited about the 1Gb/s upload speed vs the 20Mb/s I had with my previous cable provider. I WFH, and upload a lot of kernels and entire OS images to our test servers.

My excitement was short-lived. Soon after moving, I realized that our internal VPN implementation was limited to 50-60Mbs/. So had 50x more upload bandwidth than before, but could only make use of 2x as much bandwidth for the use case I care most about.
Nice find! This person is so blatant with their plagiarism, he doesn't even bother to change a thing.

Dokku is really neat! I've been using it before moving to building my own Docker images and deploying with Swarm. It was also (partly) the motivation behind my own take on self-hosted PaaS, Lunni (shameless plug): https://lunni.dev/

In general, I really love the idea of running all your stuff on a server you own as opposed to e.g. Heroku or AWS. Simple predictable monthly bill really gives you peace of mind.
this. the uis for different apps have different needs - ex. keeping a video editor wide and narrow. and its not uncommon to want more apps open than would fit into their own tiles or having to move to another desktop workspace. i just wish there was a compositor or window manager for wayland that supported working this way, none really do. without a tiling wm, apps in gnome want to open right in the center of the screen, and don't remember their positions, its comically bad
Overtime rates are not worth being interrupted during time off. I’d rather lose out on money and have my precious time.
Errors as values are winning the mind share war for new languages.

Even if you just pass the error up the call chain, it's good to have that explicitly expressed in the code. For critical software Error paths should be fist class citizens of the logic, not some "magic" path that may not be expressed in the source at all.
Either sync private keys or the messages itself.

Why would it be a security nightmare? In contrast to not even supporting e2ee in the first place?
Does it come with a static IP?

I have a 400 megabit upload speed which is more than a lot of the VPS services I use in practice. However, the IP sometimes changes without warning. No way to get a static one without business pricing which is an order of magnitude more. I'd like to run my servers locally.

I cannot imagine much use for more than 200 megabit. I know Alan Kay preaches that you need to be living in the future to invent the future in a technical way. But I don't believe it. The things we need today don't seem to more and faster but better organization of the tech we already have.

We're absolutely in the stone age with software architecture, organizational structures, and communication technology that helps (and not hurts) humanity. We've got a lot work to do here.

Peer to peer networking enabled by reasonable upload speeds could help here. But still, you need a static IP to make it practical.
I tried that, but most apps just don't scale down well. Important UI elements just disappear, while less important elements maintain their size, unless the app has most of the screen. Those are apps like teams and outlook that I would expect most office users to keep open all the time on Windows (teams is really bad about assuming I want to see the avatar of whoever is speaking more than their slides). Edge did a little better, depending on the page I was looking at.
Nokia was able to keep the team, AFAIR Nokia kicked them out (and Nvidia hired a bunch of them).

I tried Sailfish for a while, but it got progressively slower and I vaguely remember some weird Russian involvement?
Can we not do this? Everyone knows that “serverless” doesn’t actually mean there are no servers. It’s not productive to do this “haha gotcha!” trope every time someone uses the serverless term.

Serverless refers to the fact that you can launch individual workloads on the platform while abstracting away the underlying infrastructure. Yes, to set up dokku you still need to provision a server. But to deploy an application onto dokku after it’s been set up, you do that without worrying about provisioning new infra for your app. That’s what is “serverless” about it, and it’s a perfectly acceptable use of the term.
I think the order is slightly wrong. I don't think "setup" is really a factor at all and "uselessness" is the chief issue. There is no value for me in having my washer/dryer connected to the internet even though that is in theory a "feature" they support. Even when the manufacturer hides settings behind their account required paywall. The missing thing though and it is a big thing for me. I just don't want my washer/dryer snooping on me and opening up yet one more poorly protected attack vector to my home or identity.

IOT can die as far as I'm concerned.
