The property owner, unless what's being built is really smelly, loud, or dangerous. With perhaps some carve outs if people want to voluntarily have some kind of HOA type thing that isn't publicly enforced. I think this take on it

I just started reading it, but the housing part of it is spot on, something I know very well from years of working to try and make my city and state's housing situation better. The effects of the housing shortage are very real and some

"Here's when and why to use a tool" is a really good thing to explain along with how to use it.

No need to go all 'comic book guy'. What I'm talking about, of course, is the way that people expect classes to be defined in Ruby, which is going to be less confusing and easier to read because it's what everyone is use

by davidw 2y ago
The article does not do a great job of explaining why creating new classes dynamically is preferable to just defining the class your system needs.

Yeah, xeriscaping helps. In terms of municipal uses though, watering is a significant chunk in the city I live in. Not much compared to ag or actual waste, but it's a number the city is happy to push down - and has been.

I'm being a bit tongue in cheek. But we really do dump a lot of resources into lawns https://legacy.geog.ucsb.edu/the-lawn-is-the-largest-irrigat... That's fine if it's a place for, say, children to play, but

I don't know anything about water allocation and provisioning in Mexico City, but the article itself doesn't limit itself to Mexico city either: "It exemplifies a future that cities worldwide could face if global warming and

Just casually throwing in 'overpopulation' when in so many places, water for actual human needs like drinking, bathing and even washing clothes, is a tiny fraction compared to much more wasteful things like grass, America's l

I'm not sure what the right answer is: if HN were to change its policy and focus on the authoritarian assault on the US in all its forms, it would easily crowd out everything else, and draw in a bunch of people interested in only polit

by davidw 2y ago
TBH, politics is and should be taken elsewhere because it is much more important than most of what we discuss here and therefore could easily crowd out everything else.

I'm nearly 50 and have watched politics swing back and forth all my life. That's not what is currently happening. It's not a minor disaster. It's something we'll take generations to recover from, if ever. We can&#

No, we're not. I was out at a protest this evening with ordinary Americans who have far less wealth and power than Bezos, and they're out there doing what they can. There's a lot he could still be doing. What's the wors

What possible use could this have for a place that has to have some of the best connectivity on the planet?

This book is very clearly a labor of love. He put so much work into it, much more than would have been necessary to just create a simple book about Erlang. It's very well done and if you're at all interested in Erlang, is worth pu
