I didn’t make my point either clearly or well and your scrutiny is merited.

I also know nothing about living or real estate in Chicago, which is by any measure a “high COL” area. I meant “the Bay and NYC” which I know a little better.

The phenomenon you describe is real in those two places: home owners try to restrict high-density construction, presumably to artificially limit supply. This seems to be more effective in Palo Alto than in Downtown Brooklyn, where high rise condo buildings go up practically every other week despite lobbying, but the effect is conspicuous in either case.

NYC is the more striking case by pick your study of available housing going up in a year, flat seekers trending steady or down, and prices spiking all at once.

But even in your given example: a homeowner pulling some NIMBY kick flip to fuck with black people or line their own pockets or both is by any measure a “market participant”. Manipulating the situation via side-channel to prevent actual functioning markets is what I was talking about whether one is BlackRock or the representative of a podunk HOA.

The meme that needs to die is that markets work absent referees that make rent-seeking unprofitable. This forum is hosted by an enterprise that began with the noblest of intentions and is now by far the most dangerous clique of insiders to get on the wrong side of in this line of work. It’s a selling point that on BookFace, your first several hundred SaaS customers are in the bag. Far from tearing down credentialism and old boys clubs, which is a grand vision requiring a grand strategy, it turns out that the end state was to stuff a monumental vision into a tiny, tinker-toy strategy as old as clay tablets: reshuffle the local oligarchy in my favor.

I hear all the time that “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” in the same breath as some faux-Reaganism: “government isn’t the solution to our problems, government is the problem”.

The former sounds like how to get a decent pair of shoes in East Berlin in the 1970s, the latter sounds like someone who is on the take.

Capitalism sounds dope: I hope I live to see it.
iwlwifi has its own set of problems, biggest being no AP mode (on 5 Ghz). Also intels firmware license is more restrictive than mediateks, and being fullmac the firmware does lot more of the heavy lifting; I personally prefer softmac more. There simply aren't that many great options out there, gone are the golden days of ath9k.
Anecdotal, but my experience, as someone who gives DevOps professional services for many organizations, is that windows users that need containers know that they are called Docker and just download that. Must of them absolutely need GUI. Most of them doesn't know that Docker Desktop requires license, and I convert them to Rancher Desktop.

Yeah, “just install msvc”. It’s easier to install msys2 when you’re that desperate. At least the tool name will be “make” out of box.

Were horses ever actively restricted by governments around the world or did we move away from them because better solutions were available?
If a public software is very far off from working as advertised, effectively demonstrating bad faith, if its code is being hosted on a social hosting site, you can bet that I will complain about it to the site, and get everyone else to complain as well. If the software is no longer being developed and has been dead for years, then it's a different story, and the intent then is to move elsewhere. The license file is not an excuse using which to hide lies.
Modern serialization libraries make supporting multiple serialization formats pretty transparent - of course, I'm not sure what the current situation is in Elixir land, which Discord seem to be using, but Go and Rust (as trivial examples) have serialization libraries which make serialization based on content negotiation pretty much transparent. Of course, this doesn't help with testing, you'll still need to be testing both content types separately, but the savings in bandwidth might just be worth it.
I'm not sure that using make to run npm is the win the author thinks it is.
The counter to any argument is the lived experience of anyone that developed Internet-facing apps in the 90s.

Both PHP and ASP were riddled with security landmines. Developers had to be eternally vigilant, constantly making sure they were manually escaping HTML and JS safely. This is long before automatic and robust escaping such as provided by IHtmlString or modern JSON serializers.

Speaking of serialisation: I wrote several, by hand, because I had to. Believe me, XML was a welcome breath of fresh air because I no longer had to figure out security-critical quoting and escaping rules by trial and error.

I started in an era where there were export-grade cipher suites known to be compromised by the NSA and likely others.

I worked with SAML 1.0 which is one of the worst security protocols invented by man, outdone only by SAML 2.0. I was - again — forced to implement both, manually, because “those were the times”.

We are now spoiled for choice and choose poorly despite that.

That's fine, but contextually it would seem more important what you'd prefer to be the case, not what is the case.

As in, would you prefer to have a greater portion of your social circle made up of friends outside the places you've worked, or are you happier having most of those come from work?
Yes, Make is awesome. I use it for so many things. It's a great way to automate tasks. For example my personal website is built using a Makefile that calls bash scripts to rebuild the updated web pages, and I deploy it using a git push to my server and a git hook there that calls Make. However there are files that I don't want to put into the Git repository because they are blobs that may change often like PDFs of my teaching materials. It's okay, I have an "uploads" target in my Makefile that will upload only the modified PDFs to my server and this target is a dependency of the "deploy" target which does the git push so I don't even have to think about it.

Also the updated PDFs for my courses materials are automatically put into my websites source tree by another Makefile that I use to manage and build my teaching materials and which let me either build the PDFs I use from my LaTeX sources or build from the same sources alternate versions of the materials for my students (without solutions to the lab sessions exercises for example) and automatically publish those to my local website version to be uploaded whenever I want to deploy the updated website.

It's kind of Makefiles all the way down. I like Makefiles! =)

The argument against NaCL was that it was the browser API, PPAPI, was poorly documented and exposing implementation details of Blink/Chromium and thus very difficult to implement in a non-Chromium browser, so it's no surprise that Mozilla, Apple, and Opera were unenthused.

In gamedev, the only thing that matters, once you have a good product is how to market it. Without exposure your project is dead, no matter the quality of it.

Who will talk/write about it and for how much? Yters have steep pricing, and they usually don't give a F about your project.

That's why Steam and other similar platforms are a trap. And yet, people protect/love them, like it's the 8th wonder of the world.
Much like juggling with your feet instead of hands is subjectively worse.

This is true, but in the past various Discord employees have explicitly said (on HN no less) that they don't intentionally ban accounts for using them, only that sometimes their anti-spam systems can also flag them as false positives (and that you may be able to submit a ticket in this case), so I wouldn't worry too much

> Commercially available tools are considered to be tools available on the market to all end-users without the need for them to provide evidence of any proprietary rights and that can be used with no restriction, except health and safety-related restrictions.

I remember countless times me and forum fellas debugging makefiles written under developers’ assumptions about systems. That is also what lots of developers forget or simply aren’t aware of.

Make isn’t a silver bullet for builds. It isn’t even a bullet. Most software gets built from scratch and make’s deps graph makes little to zero sense in this mode. Make is a quirky poor dev tool footgun, jack of all trades master of none.

Human cases of raccoon parasite may be your best excuse to buy a flamethrower
Yeah my biggest problem with make is that the compiler has to generate the header file dependencies. This means starting a C or C++ project with make from scratch is a hard problem and there is no default solution or default file for this other than to just use CMake.
You don't need to store two whole independent images. The high quality image can predict from the low quality image, and the low quality image can be a lower resolution, too. It is less efficient than storing one image, but more efficient than storing two independent images.

You seem to be using “actual” in a way that suggests proportion to population is a key part of the definition. But although a company that served a market for 20 million might well have failed as the market shrank, it also had the opportunity to survive and continue serving an actual market with an actual demand for 7 million actual horses.

I've heard of tupperware parties but I always assumed that it was like a picnic where you brought your own food (in tupperware (or similar) containers) and shared with others.
Because forcing devs to use tools for one specific format makes a bunch of unhappy devs. Especially if its just forcing them to use make.
Funny you say that. When I worked in the office, I knew people that turned 8 hour tasks into 40 hour tasks, and spent the difference slacking off.

The most productive teams I worked with (only one exception) were mostly remote.

And yes, I also worked with remote teams that were slacking off.

What predicates performance in my experience is not if people are remote or not. It is the quality of the people hired and low churn.
My definition of a tool that just works is not a hammer that will only hit some kinds of nails and refuses to break rocks.

Even an appliance is a tool. A bicycle, as in "bicycle for the mind" does not become more useful and valid when it gains the ability to decide if it agrees with how and where it's being operated.

There are people who think that's a good thing, who think the ultimate form of life would be the wonderful order if all the bicycles kept anyone from going too fast, removing their hands from the handle bars, riding on sidewalks, ignoring traffic lights, etc...

But those bicycles are no longer human amplifiers. They are no longer tools, or they are tools but the user is not the person on the bike.

The order argument ignores the ultimate purpose of any tool, and ultimately the point of human existence itself. It's flatly invalid to forget that the person wields the tool, not the other way around. Sanity checks and guard rails and sane defaults etc are one thing, those are themselves tools that ultimately empower the wielder, as long as the user is the one who ultimately controls them.
This is the only way OSS can be sustainable, I appreciate people who make OSS their (unpaid) job, but it can't be healthy for them.

Apple has to do a lot of these repairs themselves in their stores by retail workers, often under warranty, so they are incentivised to make the repairs easier and cheaper. The more risk of a retail worker screwing up a repair means higher cost of them fixing it by replacing the whole phone.

They're also incentivised to make devices smaller, more waterproof, and increase battery capacity to size ratio. These all push for 'just glue it together'.
> Don't be discouraged by all the people in this thread saying you're using make wrong.

Fully agree, and I would add that it's far better to adopt the right tool for the job, even if you are not an expert, than avoiding the criticisms from perfectionists by adopting the wrong tool for the job.

Everyone needs to start from somewhere, and once the ball is rolling then incremental changes are easy to add.

Great job!
I don’t know if this applies to all the 40 countries Tupperware is selling to, but at least here in Germany, the need to „eintuppern“ (to put something into a Tupperware container) has massively decreased. Up until the 90s it was much more common to cook in abundance e.g. on the weekend and store the leftovers to eaten throughout the week or even deep frozen. These days it is much more common to cook only what you intend to eat right away.

At the same time, the trend went away from buying huge packs of stuff that need to be put in a container to not go stale, towards buying smaller-sized packages, for a multitude of reasons.

Group theory is the abstraction you want
Yeah. The only way the sentiment "I don't like that ___ is using energy, even though the energy is completely clean" makes sense is if they've already made up their minds that ___ is bad, and thus any energy usage is bad. The energy usage argument is a red herring; it's actually just a value judgment on AI itself.

> If you're an AI hater, it's frustrating to see what you consider a useless technology growing to take up more and more of our energy mix, eating into climate gains being made from the immense growth of renewable energy. If you're an AI maximalist, on the other hand, the significant energy use projected for AI is a small price to pay for a technology that you think will revolutionize our lives much more than technologies like air conditioning, refrigeration, or the automobile ever did.

> The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. In the long run, AI's energy use will likely level off at a significant but not grid-melting level that's roughly commensurate with the collective economic value we as a society get from it. Whether the trade-offs inherent in that shift are "worth it" involves a lot of value judgements that go well beyond how much electricity a bunch of servers are using.

Eh, no?

One car being objectively faster than another does not mean that it is more fun.

And even if one vehicle is more fun in some total measure, it will not be fun in all the same ways as all other fun vehicles.

There are plenty of people who alternate between something like a modern Mercedes V8 and a classic Mini. There is no question of which one is faster, but it might be the slow one that gives the most joy of sporty driving

That would've been a pretty short window of time since make first came out (according to wikipedia) in 1976.
The horizontal vs vertical storage thing is interesting. I've often wondered what the rationale is with the difference, and it seems that it's cultural to a large extent.

One thing that wasn't covered, that sometimes matters for non-institutional collections, is that cardboard is thicker than plastic, and can add quite a lot to the number of boxes required for a given collection. Polyester or polypropylene sleeves (open at the top, and stored vertically, i.e. to allow gas exchange) can be as cheap and sometimes are a better option, at ~0.08 mm vs ~0.5 mm.

assuming the guard node connects to the host when the host communicates with the client, this makes a little more sense. If I understand correctly you are saying that they did not seize a boat load of unrelated nodes and have rather fluxcompensated it with "timing correlation" and infinite funds.

You have a lot of confidence. In reality, it's probably more like 30-60%, more now because of WSL. The rest is Mac OS, which uses a BSD userland and hence BSD make by default.
And as said, you must know when to use tabs and/or spaces in rules

Honestly, a big issue I see is that people can somehow argue with a straight face (and successfully too!) to invest weeks of work introducing a pet project to avoid a 1 hour inconvenience that happens once every blue moon. Proportionality takes a backseat very quickly to motivated reasoning.
OK, why is this flagged?
To be fair, I switched away from Windows back in ~2004 and used Macos pretty much exclusively since then, with the exception of Linux, which wasn't feeling as good for desktop.

I switched again, in Dec 2023 to Linux as desktop, due to the kind of issues we're discussing ITT, and also due to Apple's "buy new, you can't repair" effective hardware policy.

I setup a couple of Windows 11 machines with WSL too, and tend to use them a lot more than I expected. There's issues, and I'm still figuring some things out wrt to doing things in Windows (not WSL) but the experience is significantly better than expected.

I'm not a fan of M$ but Apple are really taking the cake for anti-user hostility these days.
It’s fascinating the language used around EV sales. You have used “sluggish” where others might have used “stable”. In the past we had articles saying sales were “slowing” when in fact they were growing, just not growing as fast.

There are other regions that are growing, but I see little relevance to the original point unless people expected continued growth in every region with no blips?
