Of course it's an absurd analogy, there would not be much value if there is no underlying property you can make use of. But I think it illustrates the point well: if the high prices were caused by absent foreign investors, 101 would not be jammed.

More realistically, investors rent out the properties they buy. So a market with tons of foreign investors spending irrationally would have an undersupply of homes to buy and corresponding oversupply of homes for rent. Renters would get a great deal and buyers would get bad ROI.

I don't know about SF, specifically. But some places already tax new developments - in order to fund existing infrastructure (because property taxes aren't high enough to actually pay for it). So it becomes a pyramid scheme, where you have to constantly build more to maintain what's already there. For the city councils, it becomes a game of hot potato - what matters is that the pyramid doesn't collapse while you're in charge...
I like optional types as well, but more because I'm lazy. The Elm and Haskell people are not complaining about types, and given that every function takes SOMEthing (of some implicit type) and usually spits out SOMEthing (of some implicit type), I can hardly see how it will "dictate the design" more than create a bit more validation code.
I stripped them completely. Unless it was a very slim cell that could be confused with an inductor, or hidden into some module (say camera block) ...

I'd love for it to be true though.
Not sure how this proves your point. Reddit is about to overtake Imgur...
A couple of points here.

1. Slack is centralized. When you control the hub, you control the protocol. Which makes it easier to modify and change. You don't have to worry about people whining that you broke their client if you change the server. They control the hub and the spokes.

2. Slack is centralized. (I feel that's important). There are what 1M IRC servers (if you count all the internal company servers) and 20M clients in existence. You can't just change a popular protocol overnight without people complaining that you broke a client.

3. Slack is ... you guessed it ... centralized. IRC has a peer to peer chat feature (that doesn't go through the server). This is ironically, the way file transfers happen on IRC too. It's also what makes people able to host IRC servers without paying a huge bandwidth bill, nor get sued when their server is used to transmit Game of Thrones.

4. Slack is ... you heard it .. centralized. Messages must go through slack's servers. For people concerned about privacy, it makes it an easy target for a National Security Letter.

5. Slack is ... like a broken record ... centralized. Today I was told to not send proprietary information on it, because my company doesn't have an on premises hosted slack. Can any one self host slack?

6. Why haven't you looked into Mattermost, if you're tired of irc?

You know, it's not that open source devs are elitist, but they have a history of writing code for people that are the 10% technically elite. It's not that they're smugly arrogant, but rather, IRC does the job they need it to. So is there really any reason to change it? No. Just like there's also no need to put a python interpreter in the linux kernel. Would it make things easier for the average user to write a device driver? Possibly, I don't know? Is it worth the headaches of maintaining a python interpreter in the kernel? No.

In fact, the FOSS devs I know could probably care less about this holy war. Yes, slack is a great tool, and in some cases would work better than IRC. In other cases they would say IRC would work better than slack. Oh, did I mention they don't see it as a holy war in the first place?

Changing that abruptly would be seriously destabilizing for the entire world.

You're absolutely right about this point, which is why benefits need to be removed over time. (People that have expected a Social Security check, and have paid into it their entire lives can't be expected to react just as they reach retirement. However, a 25-year-old can be told, "save for your own retirement, because this won't be there for you.")

Having said that, controls can be removed instantly, and to very positive effect. Even a partial relaxation could massively improve things! Imagine how much better my situation would be if the federal government had, in 1999, decided not to keep restricting the number of medical residents allowed to enter/be funded each year.

One of the roadblocks I forgot to mention is the federal government, which effectively sets limits on the number of new residents that are trained each year: https://www.aamc.org/advocacy/gme/71178/gme_gme0012.html

Not at all, but it was incredibly affordable considering that in 10 years I never had a car older than 2 years. There is zero maintenance other than a few oil changes. Like I said, the residuals were usually so high that the buy-out was not realistic. That kept the lease rate very low and made it unthinkable to keep it at the end.

Totally anecdotal, but the past two startups I worked at used Rails on greenfield projects.

The first one decided to go "off the rails" and made up their own architecture based on Uncle Bob's SOLID design principles or whatever. We weren't allowed to use ActiveRecord, which is a huge part of how you handle domain logic, validations, relationships, cascading deletes, and data consistency in Rails. Instead of ActiveRecord Models, we had `repository` classes which basically had a bunch of raw SQL queries, we had `interactor` classes to handle all of our domain logic, and our controllers were just called `interactor` methods and returned the result.

The general architectural ideas came from a good place, but going that hard against the "Rails way" made basics tasks extremely difficult. We couldn't use any external Rails gems because our architecture violated the basic assumptions that gem authors made. We had to hand roll all of our validation logic because we couldn't use ActiveRecord. Our DB raised non-NULL exceptions all over the place because people would forget to validate certain fields, or didn't know that certain fields were required because there was no model class to clearly articulate the schema. After just 6 months the code was already a mess.

The other company I worked for embraced the "Rails way" completely. The code base accumulated a ton of technical debt and general jankiness along the way, mostly due to constantly changing business logic and integration with 3rd party services like Salesforce, but the code base was surprisingly easy to work with. The company shuffled people to different teams a lot and it wasn't that hard to onboard new devs into a given project.

What I'm trying to say in a very long-form way is that Rails, when used as it was intended, works pretty well for medium to medium-large projects. You just have to do what the framework wants you to do. It might seem restrictive, magical, or maybe even stupid, but it will prevent a lot of confusion and pain. If you really dislike the Rails ideology, it's better to just avoid the framework entirely.
Few people would find this to be an unsatisfactory proof that the nth triangular number is equal to the total number of pairings of n+1 objects: http://i.imgur.com/HCfGOYp.gif

It would be interesting to test this.

I forced myself to stare at that image longer than was comfortable, and I got nothing from it. Then I came back and read your words, then went back to the diagram, and still couldn't figure out what relevance the diagram had. Possibly I'm part of a small minority, possibly you are, or possibly it's 50/50. Without testing, I wouldn't wager a guess which of these is most likely.

You are likely better than me at visually assembling the individual frames into a coherent whole. The sequence forms a 3-dimensional image, but with 2 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time. I feel my brain struggling (and failing) to project it into 3 spatial dimensions. The frenetic chaos leaves me longing for the serenity of words.

> Sure, notation can be better, and maybe this triangle of power is a cute way to make it better. Notation changes and improves all the time, btw. Well, all the time in the mathematical scale of time, which is two or three millenia. In this scale, things like the Greek letter for the ratio of circumference to diameter are remarkably modern, merely 300 years old. Notation for linear algebra is even newer, all from the 20th century.

Forget linear algebra, modern notation for regular algebra is from the 19th century. And the form of the notation absolutely does matter to learning and comprehension.

Ancient Babylonians knew how to solve quadratic equations, but you basically had to be a professional mathematician to understand the way they phrased problems and work with their notation.

I'd rather have my ARM devices backdoored by another country than my own (as a FIVE EYES resident). I know this is not a popular choice, but consider the threat profile: if Japan knows my secrets, are they sharing with Britain or Canada? Likely not, as the agreement is not in place. ARM was hamstrung for me and my corporation (Canadian medical marijuana industry) due to its ties to government. With this sale, that is no longer the case.

If I could, I'd buy 100% Russian and Chinese (especially gonkai'ed) gear, but that's not feasible yet. Hopefully sooner than later.

Not in EU. Such a patent is invalid, but if they managed to get it approved by the EU patent bureau (which is known for accepting such baseless claims) then they have a patent that needs a court action to be invalidated. In the meantime, it is assumed to be valid.
A fourth option would be just like option 3, except you only use part of the DB token in the lookup and compare the remainder in constant-time if and only if the record exists (if you're worried about the database lookup leaking a valid authentication token).

Wouldn't this require you to have specifically opted-in to "Tinder Social"?
Not having this flame war. I have my reasons, you have yours. We will continue writing code using our separate ways. Certain patterns are awkward or even impossible in statically typed languages and you need to bypass the type system to get things done so implicit or not, static type systems have a cost. There is a benefit as well but the kinds of systems I work on I don't need the extra validation. I need the ability to quickly prototype and ship and then layer on the validation, hence the need for optional types.

>And when you multiply by the low probability that a DRAM error will cause catastrophic data loss, then it is very easy to come to a reasonable conclusion that ECC is not worth the expense.

If your data is worth nothing, then ECC isn't worth the expense.

That's part of the difference between more enterprise level and consumer level equipment. I do some work on my home computer, but I don't have ECC in it. I probably push a few terabytes of work related information over it a year. The rest is many more terabytes of movies and music, and other things that will never notice a bit error. At work where I move 10s of terabytes of information a day, and that information may have cost many hundreds of manhours to create, I use enterprise level memory, disks, and other parts.

I've seen both servers and desktops develop bad ram. You want to know what the difference is when it happens? I get MCE logs from the server and we replace the equipment before anything bad happens. When it happens on the desktop you can end up with crashing programs, reboots, and even worse, corrupt data written to disk.
It's disingenuous of you to keep putting the error probabilities in terms like "nearly 1 in 10" without acknowledging the context that you're talking about the probability of a transient error occurring at any time over the course of a full year of continuous operation. Most people actually are comfortable with the idea that their equipment will have occasional downtime or faults, but you're trying to paint a very different picture.

"The docs" are remarkably inconsistent between projects. "The docs" for C# really don't need any help, "the docs" (by which I mean the AFAIK unofficial cppreference.com) for C++ are fine. But even major languages like Python don't have the greatest documentation, never mind the thousands of libraries out there that have wildly disperate levels of official "docs".
I don't know about the US, but in Europe we had this dead easy code programming (forgot what the name for it was). Each show had a code printed next to it in the weekly showtime guide. You'd open up some VCR menu, enter the code, and thus program the thing in 10 seconds. It would start recording at exactly the right time because the channel would send a special signal together with the beginning of the show. Worked 100% at least 80% of the time ;).
