> Some rent is always more than no rent.

This depends on how hard it is to increase rent later. A lot of these projects are funded on a mix of low interest loans and investor money. Sometimes mixed with own funds. This poses two issues right now, one is that low interest rates is hard to come by, the other is that investors can now get close to the 5-7% returns by going with much safer options.

Low rent being better than no rent is a consumer perspective to the financing of these projects. What they sell isn’t actual income, it’s projected income and returns and if you lower rent those change. When they change investors are less likely to repeat business, which means your primary business (which isn’t to supply housing but to sell investments) goes down. So it’s much better to simply wait things out, at least for a 2-5 year period. If you have liquidity you can even bet on outlasting competition and buying their projects cheap.

Banks on the other hand aren’t fooled, but they’ve also loaned you so much money when the interest rates were basically 0. Interest rates that you didn’t lock down because it might go lower. Now that your loans are suddenly millions, if not billions, more expensive than projected you probably can’t pay and if you can you certainly don’t want to. So you work out deals with the banks out of mutual interest in keeping the “pretence” going because what you’re both making money off is the flow of money.

You’re going to see something similar happen in the green energy industry unless governments up their tariffs.
Actually local increases emissions and congestion.

Local means you grow food in places not really suitable for it, so you need extra energy to make that happen. Would like you like to grow tomatoes in a heated greenhouse, or out in the open?

Local is also smaller quantity, so instead of huge efficiencies you need small individual shipments. This increases congestion.

Local has some advantages in terms of community, but environmentally speaking? It's 100% bad.

That narrative is only in the uneducated public. Every Y2K perfect of course documented its many findings and fixes.

And nothing ran on it. I think the 7800 may have even been out by then, which just added to the disappointment.

It makes no sense. I zoomed into a segment of my city, lowest level.

I see two clusters with "2", maybe that means that there are 4 tasks on the map segment which need fixing.

Clicking on any of the two clusters does nothing. The sidebar has just an odd "Global: [amenity=doctors] and [healtcare:speciality=*] missing [healthcare]", which, when I click it, reloads the page and shows me a world view with problematic doctors.

When I deselect "Cluster", then nothing is shown, instead of those 4 clustered tasks that apparently need fixing. I expected to see 4 individual tasks, instead of the two clustered ones.

At the same time a label tells me "23 tasks found", yet I see none. I assume those two pairs of clusters of two should represent 4 tasks, but I can't interact with them in any way.

I also can't easily navigate to a place of interest because there is no location searchbox.

I was expecting something like StreetComplete.

Just because you never bothered to learn how to use shortcuts on Mac doesn’t make them inconsistent.

I can use the same set of shortcuts across all applications on Mac, such as copy paste as was pointed out earlier, or exit, or preferences, etc.

> On Mac, the distinction between Ctrl, Option and Cmd is arbitrary.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key#

Literally first link.

Command is the key on Mac, option adds hidden capabilities and Control was added for whoever wanted to use it. For OS shortcuts I don’t even know if I ever use Control, only Vim.

And it is used for OS shortcuts, which also includes most used functions like switching windows and copy pasting, unlike Windows and Linux.

And just because they’re more “consistent” in your head, even though they’re not, it doesn’t make them any less awful. Using Command key for every OS shortcut is far superior than using mix of Control and Option.

Just one most obvious example: copy and paste between windows. CMD C, CMD TAB, CMD V. Who’s more consistent now?

I think it's a bit more subtle than that. The code of this tool runs in your browser and makes it download the model from huggingface. So it does not host the model or provide it to you, it just does the download on your behalf directly from where the owner of the model put it. The author of this tool is not providing the model to you, just automating the download for you.
Not saying it's not a copyright violation, and IANAL, but it's not a obvious one.
I don't actually disagree with some level of automated enforcement, but I do disagree with your phrasing/justification of it.

I just don't believe violating the law is always wrong, always bad, or always unsafe. While I would agree that most people are bad at risk assessment, and most people are not good drivers, the law should be flexible enough to deal with cases where breaking it is absolutely fine to do.

As a perhaps weird and imperfect analogy, killing another person is illegal... except when it isn't. The law recognizes that sometimes, even if in rare cases, killing another person is justified. This is why we have different words: "homicide" is sometimes not "murder" or even "manslaughter"; sometimes it's "self-defense".

Does gait recognition (and body tics / unique movement style) not make this moot?

My sense is that facial recognition is a stop-gap and soon to be superseded, because the tech is there for more holistic 'reads' of a person - And that those subtle things that we humans can't see are actually plain as day and as clear as a fingerprint.

If we cover our face, then the data collected on gait etc. will be more than enough.
If we adopt a different gait, then the data on other foibles and styles will then give us away.
Etc. (we can't hope to disguise all of these at once)

I think Django's ORM is just AMAZING. And as with every other tool, it has to be used wisely.

First, it let's you get started quickly and prototype. You can write unit tests, make sure everything is working as expected, then count queries and make sure you're being efficient with your SQL engine.

Second, and even more importantly, it's crucial in the definition of the app and the Schema. Thinking in high level "classes and objects" helps with the abstraction and the design of the apps. Even if you then default to raw SQU queries, thinking and building your model with class abstractions is huge.

Finally, there are some "tiny details" (but in my eyes, very important) that everybody oversees:

* Migrations: the way Django has designed migrations is just marvelous. We've migrated tons of data and changed the structure of our DB multiple times without any issues.

* Troubleshooting and "reporting": the ability to fire a quick shell, load a few models in Django's REPL, and do a few `.filters()` is for me key. On top of that, we add a Jupyter server connected to our read replica and we can do all sorts of reporting VERY QUICKLY. Not everybody needs a Data Lake :)

PS: We've ran Django sites accessed by millions of people per month. And we never had an issue with the ORM. Yes, sometimes I have to tell more junior devs that the gymnastics they're doing with `select_related` and `prefetch_related` can be more easily and effectively resolved with a query. But that's it. I'd say less than 1% of all the queries in our codebase have to be migrated to raw SQL.
I had my time using Arch, even Gentoo before that. It was fun but I'm done with that kind of "fun".

Would example.com get that email?

One common pitfall with Django ORM's is that it makes it very easy the use of inheritance in models. But as we know, the "impedance mismatch" between OOP and the Relational model is a problem.

It has happened that a dev in our team was populating an endpoint that used inheritance and when looking at the number of queries we were over 100.

But the solution in those cases is just OUTER JOINs and CASE. Especially since we use Postgres in the backend and it works so well.

So yes, there are some pitfalls, but they're greatly overshadowed by the advantages of the ORM.

> That still just seems like rationalization of bad behavior.

I think the issue is that you're taking as fact that "in order to be safe, you must come to a full stop at a red light before turning right", and that not doing so is, indisputably, "bad behavior". I dispute that. I think in many situations it is just as safe to nearly-but-not-completely come to a full stop before continuing, and it's entirely fine behavior.

The law has some difficulty encoding that. (Not that it's impossible, but it's difficult, and enforcement perhaps gets weirder if you try.)

Let's take a related example: jaywalking. In many places, you can get a ticket for crossing the street somewhere where there isn't a crosswalk, or crossing against a red light or a don't-walk sign. I was taught as a child how to look both ways and only cross when and where it's safe to do so. I don't need a sign or stripes on the road to tell me that (though I do appreciate those things as hints and suggestions). Hell, in some places (Manhattan comes to mind), if you don't jaywalk, everyone around you will look at you funny and get annoyed with you.

California, recognizing this, finally eliminated most jaywalking laws a year and half ago[0]. You can only get cited here if you've failed to do what your parents told you, and you're crossing when it's not safe to do so.

Stopping fully at a red light before turning right is, IMO, similar enough. For many (most?) intersections, you're only going to be a teeny tiny fraction of a percent safer coming to a full stop. So why bother?

[0] Let's also remember that jaywalking laws exist only because car manufacturers wanted them. Walking in the street!? How absurd! Streets are only for our beautifully-produced cars! Not you grubby plebeian pedestrians. Away with you!

You could always go deeper and from some points of view, it's not "from the ground up" enough unless you build your own autograd and tensors from plain numpy arrays.
I've had the opposite experience, about "it breaks and you have no idea how to fix it".

On Linux when something breaks, you go to a forum and can understand exactly what's wrong and what's the right way to fix it. If you encounter the problem again, you'll know right away the fix.

On Windows, when something breaks, all the info you get are random incantations, that may or may not work, may or may not create new problems along the way. Sometimes you'll fix it without really understanding why, and sometimes you're stuck with the nuclear option of reinstalling Windows.
> That is a discussion that can be had between the offender and the police officer

Once you've been pulled over, a police officer is unlikely to change their course of action based on anything you say to them. Especially in this case, of not coming quite to a full stop at a red light before turning right. The cop knows it was safe to do so. They just want the ticket revenue or to fill up their quota for the month. Or they're just having a bad day and want to harass someone who can't fight back. Or, if I'm being charitable, they're an incessant rule-follower who doesn't understand how reality works.

Show HN: Bjjgym – A Site to Help Travelers Find the Best BJJ Gyms
Over the past weeks I've created bjjgym.com, a site oriented at bjj practicioners around the world, to help find gyms while on the road.

The Problem: As a traveler I've faced sometimes a hard time finding gyms that welcome drop-ins, offer nogi classes (no need to pack a gi) and are chill and welcome friendly. In the past, I used Google Maps and checked each gym site, but it's a pain in the ass and reviews lack key details.

The solution: A website where users can search and rate gyms based on tags like:

Currently, the following criteria are being considered:

- Drop-in choices (and fees?)
- Nogi or gi classes
- Warm vibe
- Cleanliness (to be clear of staph, ringworm...)
- Gym's skill range
- Open mat times
- Women's classes

So far, I've launched a search tool that sorts by big cities (New York, Austin, Madrid...).

Would love to hear some feedback for it :)
