Both are used. Hence, any good design should explicitly state what the goals are (ie. what we are optimizing for) before embarking on the design process.

Commercial real estate generally optimizes for profit, which means, floor space, however this may be subject to regulation and particularly significant cost constraints (eg. maximum height before alternate structural features required, maximum height of available raw materials, HVAC/insulation, site aspect, site topography).

High end residential real estate is perhaps the most interesting, because good residential architecture facilitates aesthetic concern and draws from the full palette of commercial architecture in addition to traditional methods while not being constrained by finance. Hence, very interesting results can sometimes be obtained from good architects who will consider factors such as foliage, natural audio, etc. which are often ~ignored or afterthoughts in commercial/industrial.

IMHO good and original design in adequately resourced contexts tends to be iterative and to consider all paths toward a solution, not only a preconceived approach and a waterfall solution.

The best story telling in anime doesn't come from anything close to Ghibli - at least not modern Ghibli.

If you want high concept, good, unique stories, it's going to take you to some much more indie sutff. Serial Experiments Lain, The Tatami Galaxy, Perfect Blue (and everything that director made), Ghost in the Shell (the first movie), Akira, and a bunch of other weird 80s/90s anime films you likely wouldn't even consider.
Get something like a PiKVM and drop all of the stuff about being very local since you can find a cheaper overall provider elsewhere and use smart hands once a year either for free or still cheaper than picking the local place you can drive to. Even if you do the things in this guide perfectly it'll break/hang/get misconfigured at some point and the PiKVM (or like) lets you remotely hard boot a box instantly without having to drive or open a ticket. It also enables you to easily reinstall the entire OS remotely if you need to.

If your server/device has an IPMI... get a PiKVM (or like) anyways. Not only will you last more than 2 seconds without being hacked but it'll have more functionality and be much faster.

I was in a CVS where they had all the Tylenol/Advil behind a locked glass display, and all the CVS headache relief on the shelf.

Anyone else see something like this at CVS?

I have stopped watching the live-action Cowboy Bebop after about 5 minutes, so much of it was spared.

The same production company (Tomorrow Studios) is currently making the live action One Piece, which, ironically, could be more detrimental to live-action anime than Cowboy Bebop was.

The reason is that even though the live-action One Piece is not something I'd consider live-action _anime_, it's actually quite good and is definitely well received, which may cause producers to adopt its formula, and stop researching alternative adaptation paths.

I recently went to a store and they had no Apple products on display. It looked like they only sold accessories for iPhones. There weren’t even placeholders or signs. You had to ask the right employee for the specific product and you had to pay for it at a specific register before you could have it.

The only reason I thought to ask was because their website said they had plenty in stock.
Presumably this depends a lot on what the item is. I’ve definitely thought about and decided against an impulse purchase because of a locked case. It turns “ooh I need that” into “ah, but I have to find someone and delay things”.

I've always wondered why all the big chains are closing stores, blaming shoplifting, to the point where Belltown no longer has a single pharmacy. But I haven't seen any of the small independant shops/bodegas close, including a small grocery shop right next to the 3rd/bell bus stop. I can't imagine that nobody is shoplifting from those. I'm no expert but it's never added up to me.
> Python's lack of strong typing

I see people conflate strong/weak and static/dynamic quite often. Python is strong[1]/dynamic, with optional static typing through annotations and a type checker (mypy, pyright, etc).

Perhaps the easiest way to add static types to data is with pydantic. Here's an example of using pydantic to type-check data provided via an external yaml configuration file:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41508243

[1] strong/weak are not strictly defined, as compared to dynamic/static, but Python is absolutely on the strong end of the scale. You'll get a runtime TypeError if you try to add a number to a string, for example, compared to say JavaScript which will happily provide a typically meaningless "wat?"-style result.
What law would this be breaking?
He used olive oil though, not a soap oil.
I have little sympathy for many of these big box stores because their policies have indirectly lead to an increase in shoplifting. Their official policy in many stores is to do nothing when spotting a shop lifter other than report it to police after it has happened. For a while some of these big box stores would hire a security guard whose only job was to stand next to a shoplifter in the hopes it would intimidate them into putting the item back, but they too were instructed to do nothing. In fact if they did do something it was a fireable offense. Eventually they stopped hiring these fake security guards because what is the point if they aren’t doing anything.

And then a few years after that they throw up their hands and say shop lifting is out of control. Nothing can be done.

>while still utilizing monopoly control and government interference and mismanagement to maintain a position without any actual competition.

What the hell are you talking about? These stores absolutely get crushed by competition when they do this. They have to compete with online stores.

That’s why a bunch of these in high theft areas ended up closing completely. This dynamic has been around a long time and is what leads to “food deserts”.
The biggest issue with divergent adaptations in my opinion is that there aren't many that are middling or on par with the original. They tend to either be good, uplifting the source material into something greater, or not well thought out and somewhere between bad and awful, and it's easier to fall in the latter of those two buckets than the former.
The notion of "stochastic parrot" has been disproven. It did come from a reputable AI researcher in the first place. You can call anything you want a "stochastic parrot", including human intelligence.
Ask HN: Sci-fi recommendations by non-western authors?
While talking with a friend about books, I realised that 99% of the sci-fi I've read was written by western authors. Mostly white men at that. When reading Cixin Lui's Three Body Problem I was pleasantly surprised by the (to my mind) different perspective that his background brought to the telling of the story.

I'd love to hear some sci-fi recommendations featuring authors with different backgrounds. Anything goes: non-westerners, refugees, deeply religious cultists who live in a hidden paradise underneath antarctica, whatever.

Exactly. Come to many parts of SF, Santa Monica and Venice and you'll see half the Target behind glass. Several pharmacies in Downtown LA got closed due to theft in the last few years, see 5th and Broadway.

No I have no reason to believe that having more doctors would induce insurers to keep their network directories up to date and to represent their network to consumers honestly.

I am so glad to see things like this happening again. Im not saying "bring back all the magazines!" But some of them had a real place in the format.

you care confusing collecting data with persisting user data.

it is easy to prove what your app collects from OS's permission model and web traffic. People are less interested in whether you store it for future use or discard it immediately after receiving.

Even if you claim you don't persist any of user data, you would still be collecting it

I mostly think it's bad writing. You can make mature, gritty tv-shows without the protagonist running to their room and slamming the door very hard when they don't get what they want, but the problem is that this is much harder.

Breaking Bad is a solid example that gets it right.
I'm not saddened by people enjoying things, and a slope being slippery does not imply that it's not worth investigating. I'm sad at the lack of respect being shown to nature sometimes, and it comes across in these articles. I will say what I like.
> If there wasn't any shoplifting, would they still put things in cabinets?

If your insurance company tells you to do something in order to retain your nice rates, (or your policy) you do that thing. So, yeah, there totally can be a disconnect between the situation on the ground and what the suits think is going on.

Also, you might not be aware of how out of touch C-level employees can be with what's actually going on inside the company they theoretically oversee. Anyone who has worked at a BigCo for more than a handful of years should be quite familiar with the sight of incredibly stupid CRASH-priority projects hurled down from the C-suite. If you're a line worker, it doesn't matter how stupid it is; you don't sign the paychecks, so you shut the hell up and do it.
> It's about removing competition, particularly from smaller stores

How does putting things in locked cabinets remove competition? How do big companies reducing locations make things worse for the smaller, more local stores? You're still not making any sense to me on this point.

We want to eliminate the competition! I know, we'll make our customer experience worse, that'll definitely force those smaller stores to be less competitive! We'll close many of our stores to leave market voids where other stores can come in...that'll show those smaller stores that are now suddenly far more convenient!

And you still haven't actually answered my original question. If shoplifting just didn't happen, would they still put things in these cases?
Hopefully your domain is sane enough that you can read nearly all the data you are going to use up front, then pass it on to your pure functions. Speaking from a Java perspective.
My local big-box home store had measurement devices (e.g. laser range finder; fancy tape measures) in a locked glass-fronted case. But the gap between the shelf above and the top of the glass was wide enough for me to fish around in there and get the one I wanted.

Which I proceeded to checkout to buy, without incident.

I wonder if they later had some inventory issue. No I guess I don't wonder; that's all on them.
I really loved Flywheel. Everyone I interacted with from sales to support was extraordinary. It must have been very sad for the folk working there to have the company gutted by WPE.
I think it’s true for two reasons:

1. We generally go into multiple stores anyways. If there isn’t someone around, I won’t bother waiting around. Those razors at Walgreens are genearlly available at the Costco I goto once per week.

2. I generally will just order something online if there is any amount of friction. Amazon Prime and Target Circle 360 are easy.

I didn’t upgrade my iPhone this year, because they canceled the Apple Leather case and getting a Leather case was a huge pain last year when I upgraded and I don’t want to bother this year while case manufacturers work out their camera button. I bet Apple executives would be shocked how just introducing a tiny bit of friction stops people from spending $1,500 to upgrade their device.
If it does, that's your right. And I agree that in part spending so much time with technology is senseless.
And someone found a good reason for it?

My sense is that what's needed is a generalization of the kinds of features offered by TypeScript for mapping types to new types (e.g. Partial<T>) "arithmetically".

For example I often really directly want to express is "T but minus/plus this field" with the transformations that attach or detach fields automated.

In an ideal world I would like to define what a "base" domain object is shaped like, and then express the differences from it I care about (optionalizing, adding, removing, etc).

For example, I might have a Widget that must always have an ID but when I am creating a new Widget I could just write "Widget - {.id}" rather than have to define an entire WidgetCreateDTO or some such.
We already know clearly what to do, and we are not doing it.

I like the design but it seems rather complicated with all the little crevices and such.

1. I would like to see just a solid block on the front, redesign it so when I stick the phone to the MagSafe, because it will hold, the phone completes the design rather than fitting it into the hollowed out piece. The phone should be able to just be placed on the front and let the MagSafe hold it in place. I should be able to just grab my phone and go, not have to poke it from the back.

2. The MagSafe charger used is fine for proof of concept but I would like to see the MagSafe part better integrated into the stand like it is with the TwelveSouth HiRise 3 (not the deluxe)
Nope! Too hard for me. But it would be a great practice for someone who wants to get started in this space. There is a Triton implementation that might be a good starting place.

Brilliant! I used to work in a building where they would go through the front driveways and walkways on a routine basis, covering them with poo and creating a seriously hazardous situation!
Also in the 'solution to shop-lifting makes me shop elsewhere', there are two locally-owned independent hardware stores in walking distance from my home.

One has a 'buzz to enter' vestibule with two doors whose locks are controlled by the cashier. You ring the exterior bell, the cashier buzzes you through the first door, and only after it closes will they buzz open the second door -- so you're trapped. The same is true on the exit. No one can run out of the store with an expensive power tool they didn't pay for. But even though I'm not stealing anything but I find the whole experience so deeply unpleasant that I've stopped going there at all.

The second independent hardware store now has multiple security people at the front, and a mandatory bag-check policy. Except the bag check line is the customer service line, and I've literally waited 30 minutes total to drop off and then pick up my bag, stuck behind people with elaborate customer service requests. They have a bunch of staff on the floor, but they often don't actually know where stuff is, whether they carry X, etc. It becomes impossible to make a quick purchase of a single item.

So more and more, I'm apt to buy whatever it was online. I don't want the extra amazon packaging. I tried going literally out of my way to buy at the local independent business. But they made it such a crap waste-of-time experience.
Yup, it kinda makes sense, but I agree with other commenters there that plausible deniability is not as strong here.
I don't think so. OpenBSD 7.3 works great. Their latest release broke APE in two ways: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/1263 I'm not sure if something like this is an accident. We might need to shift our support to something like DragonflyBSD, Haiku, or SerenityOS if OpenBSD doesn't want us there.
Fullmetal Alchemist and the redo Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the one I'm familiar with. Also the "filler" episodes from Naruto.

It seems like mega series with 200+ episodes where fillers are needed aren't getting made now? Demon Slayer is only on 63 for example.
You’re premise doesn’t make sense. When Walgreens left the local retailers should have had no problem picking up the business.

But the issue is they can’t because they are also subject to shoplifting problems, shocker.

The premise of “this business drove itself into the ground to force itself to eventually have to close” is risible. Why wouldn’t they just close the business and skip all of the loss in between of going to locked down mode?

I think this gets to the real reason of why people say they won't buy from the locked cabinets.

As someone whose job was to carry that key in an office supply store, I can say that it's awful. We have other things to do, and even if you're acknowledged, you have no idea when that clerk will get to you. (And the clerk doesn't know either.)

Aside: I once had a customer snap their fingers at me while I was walking another customer to a product because they wanted in the case. I looked at them, but was so thrown off that I didn't nod or anything, and just kept helping that customer. By the time I got to the case, they were gone. Later, I found I had a complaint issued against me for ignoring them, which I hadn't actually done. It just wasn't their turn yet. Management tried to turn it into a big thing in a meeting with the entire store, singling me out (not the first time). Someone else stood up for the situation and said they wouldn't help someone that snapped their fingers... Management started to rebut, but then a guy from furniture said, "Yeah! And I won't help people that whistle at me like a dog, either!" and management quickly changed the topic. Ah, such fun memories.
