Existing owners wouldn't really be affected if they plan to live in their house as it's just paper wealth that they can't access until they sell anyways.

Those that downsize just after interest rates rise in order to spend the value locked in their house might lose a bit depending on whether any of the money is reinvested in something else after they sell.

People who will lose the most are house builders. Their revenue is directly tied to house prices. However, for a rate rise to be sustainable there has to be other good ways to make money out there otherwise rates will likely quickly go down again.

This blog post is all about how the users need to alter the way they use the product. I've always been a firm believer than software should be intuitive and should influence the users to use the software in the way the developers want. If you want users to act more kindly and welcoming, incentivize that behavior.

Some ideas for SO:

- Create new reputational incentives for kindness

- Offer the kindest users a vacation and write an article about them from time to time calling them out for acts of kindness

- Allow newbies to report unkind behavior which would hurt reputation of the offender

- Create workflow to assist the elite users in dealing with frustrating questions/answers/comments (a button to say, "It would help us if you clarified the question" would help eliminate a comment that says "You don't make sense idiot")
This is so much better than that silly cartoon they had before. Sure it was cute and fun, but for a modern language it felt so ... childish. As someone who works professionally as an illustrator and dabbles with code, this is just my two cents, and whether you like or dislike a logo is 100% entirely subjective. This new logo/identity feels much more refreshing and importantly, professional. At least in my books.

Next up, Java's atrocious coffee cup logo perhaps?
> In which case, screening out someone with an inflated sense of their own experience and overconfidence that the stupid person on the other end of the phone is stupid is exactly what this process is supposed to do.

This is obviously an excuse for how shitty the interviewer is. If you want to rule out people with a inflated sense of their own experience, the way you do that does NOT involve telling them they're wrong when they're obviously right ("that's not the answer I have on my sheet of paper").

Searching a position in the video game industry
Hello, I am a student at Gamagora, a video game school in Lyon. In order to graduate with a M2, I am looking for a first job or an internship in video game development (gameplay or engine).

I got experience with C++, C#, JavaScript and Rust (another system language).

I have worked on several projects such as Crazy Orbit (https://lnkd.in/gPQtaxH) for the Global Game Jam 2018, or Koda Kiyomori's Guardian in the scope of the eend of year project at Gamagora.

I am also working on a 3D game engine written in Rust (https://lnkd.in/gp_c2wK).

I am open to any proposition, so feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Here is my email: pro@mathieu-nivoliez.com

Yeah, and my experience with welders (used to supervise shipyard jobs on drilling rigs) is that a lot of them are pretty bad with eye protection while using cutting torches as well.
Well my dad's construction company is doing a lot more prefab in warehouses which is not only more efficient but removes hazard pay (elevation related). This would not be possible if not for the advances in BIM software.

"crisp manilla folders" <-- gave me chills
There are many possible ways to implement eFuses in silicon, such as NOR flash without the erase hardware. Starts in the 1 state, you can program it to 0, but you can't ever erase it back to 1 without exposing the silicon to UV.

But the original IBM implementation was based on "resisters" which were physically damaged by passing too much current through them.

Technically it's not "burning", as there is no smoke or combustion. Instead it's taking advantage of the electromigration side effect. But blowing is the closest analogy, the silicon is irreversibly damaged, due to too much current.

You can read more here: http://paris.utdallas.edu/ssiri08/Tonti_SSIRI_eFuse_V2.pdf

I have no idea which technology Nvidia used to implement their eFuses.

I do not like this line of reasoning because it basically advocates walking on eggshells around everyone since it is not possible to model the potential fragility of mind of billions of humans.

I read some arguments that being drive-by downvoted without comments somehow made people unwelcomed. And you add to that that this is practically a form of PTSD.

If I am supposed to model people at the other end of the screen as "my downvote might trigger PTSD" then, mildly put, I do not find that model to be very helpful. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems like some sort of game-theoretic trap.

Disclaimer: I don't see myself as a kind person and asking me to spend extra mental energy just to be nice is like asking for a pound of my flesh. Thus the above may be motivated reasoning to ignore people who complain about the lack of kindness.

As a society, we should probably be targeting more like 10% for 4-year degrees and higher.

Many jobs that are requiring or preferring 4-year degrees need at best a 2-year degree, and more likely no degree (maybe a 1-4 month focused training course).

The college degree requirement typically serves as either a vanity requirement or a filter to reduce the number of applications.
Hopefully! There's a bad attitude I've noticed about Flask, people don't take it seriously and treat it like a learning tool or a library for quick and dirty hack projects. All because it's simple to learn and free of bullshit and Just Works™. Should lead to the opposite attitude, but nope. People apparently enjoy extra complexity.
Way more than you think. And now that I told you that, 10-50x more than you revised estimation.

I wouldn't say toxic communities produce better content.

I would say heavily moderated ones often do. That's because in general, a community without much in the way of moderation often becomes a wasteland filled with spammers and useless posts and misinformation, as seen on many webmaster forums over the years. If Stack Overflow and Wikipedia are doing well here, it's merely because their assholery has also stopped the SEO merchants and junk peddlers from turning it into Warrior Forums or Wikia.

But that doesn't mean a toxic community is better. It's entirely possible to have a fair, evenly moderated forum with a high level of quality control, as seen on the likes of Ask Historians over at Reddit.

A truly toxic community will eventually die or be replaced, as seen by one I won't name which banned people for making typos or disagreeing with the staff on any topic in history.

Edit: Though I think even this may be a simplification. Basically, a small or niche forum can be extremely relaxed yet still have a high level of quality (see my own Wario Forums site), but it'll have to make a decision between going downhill in terms of quality or becoming harsher on the moderation as it turns into a big board if it doesn't want to become a wasteland.

Flask is an absolutely amazing experience for small-mid sized projects. You have to hand roll and pull in things for bigger projects, but I think it's great when you want "just what I need and nothing extra".

I'd be curious to see some sort of flask "bundles" that would allow it to make more sense for large-scale projects.
I think you'd be more likely to get a better outcome by taxing pharmaceuticals (or just make it part of regular taxes businesses in general pay) and using that money to fund research. If the same pharmaceutical wants to apply for a grant to work on a drug, that's fine but I don't think you're likely to get good results by forcing some them to work on a problem they're not already interested in solving.

> Suddenly a "higher ranking" individual started leaving comments on my answers that I needed to stop answering certain questions, and only address "well asked" questions.

I love Stack Overflow, and it's sure a valuable if imperfect resource, but this is something that drives me bonkers about it.

If the question is intelligible enough to receive an answer, and if your answer is potentially helpful to the asker, then it's well-asked as far as I can tell, and the scoring system can take care of its relative utility.

The additional level of moderation doesn't seem to have added much value over my time participating. The closest thing I can think of as nice is combining duplicates, though moderators often seem to miss subtle differences between questions and in some cases information gets lost in the end. Generally, the moderation focus often seems legalistic or driven by artificial incentives rather than primarily focused on improving the breadth, depth, and quality of the site as a technical resource.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that a significant portion of the hostility people experience is coming from moderation actions.

I might hope the SO team has the intention of going to town on that problem in general, but I don't see it specifically mentioned in today's discussion. I'm sure that if they took it deeply seriously and engaged with enough specific situations where it's been a problem, they could find ways to do better.

I think today's announcement is a really good indication, though, that they're listening to people who are having problems with their SO experience, not just to people who'd congratulate them for their (deserved!) accomplishments and for whom everything is more or less fine.
It's indeed a matter of perception: Moon landing is fake but Star Trek is real - therefore airplane autopilot must be closer to the latter than to the former :-/
While I agree that SO can be hostile, I hardly think it's fair to assign the blame to SO for the insecurities of some users. If the answer is given without regard to race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, etc., then misconstruing it as doing so is the doing and fault of the asker.

It's looking for offense where there is none. Frankly, I have never seen racist comments on stackoverflow. I have seen curt, and even rude answers; but not bigotry.

At the risk of sounding intolerant, if for example, a black programmer takes personal offense at a brusque technical answer on SO, he/she can get the fuck over it. We are not on SO to talk about their insecurities. We are on SO to find answers to programming problems. It's not the community responsibility to tiptoe around a users self-esteem issues.

Again, this isn't to say SO couldn't be a kinder place, but dear god, spare us the bleeding heart spiel for once.
People feel intimidated on SO, specially if they have low self-stem. This is a real problem but not because veterans there are bad people - after all they are helping strangers on the Internet for free. I'm one of them[1].

Moderators there tend to be borderline autistic people obsessed with some subjects. Yes, we sound like jerks and some people there can be really infuriating but it is not personal: we are just obcessive people with very low social skills. These OCD traits are both our weakeness and our superpower, why we do such a great work maintaining top quality questions and answers while sometimes sounding needlessly rude.

Being on the spectrum is not an excuse to be a jerk but many people will take "you are being pedantic" as a cumpliment because their brain is wired differently. Most of them will be more careful if you tell them they are hurting people even if they can't understand why.

I believe the formulation of random forests requires you to find the optimal split, albeit over a subset of features.

What you're talking about, where you simply generate a set of random splits across features, is Extremely Randomized Trees (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10994-006-6226-...).
That medium post is downright nasty - if you know how people use "victimhood" to achieve their hidden goals, this is like 101 example. She should be ashamed of herself to use references of real suffering in making money and getting herself known by attacking established players in sneaky ways. Absolutely disgusting.
But not the conjunction thereof.
I think what they mean is that because of their experiences they have less tolerance for hostility than you do.

Most of the time people are verbally hostile towards you nothing terrible ends up happening so you eventually learn to ignore minor hostility. However if you had the sort of bad experiences minorities have, you would learn to be wary of minor hostility, as it is often the precursor to major hostility or even physical harm.

You know how evolutionary psychologists often attribute human stupidity to adaptations that made sense in prehistoric times? Like your instincts tell you sugar is good for you because it used to be found mostly on fruit and nutritious berries, but nowadays the instinct leads you to eat junk food. In the modern world sugar has nothing to do with high food quality (just the opposite) but the instinct remains.

For minorities, their instinct to recoil at minor hostility is like that, except that instead of an ancient adaptation to deal with the life at the Savannah, it is the habit that helped you keep your sanity this very morning at the office when your asshole coworker yelled at you. In Stack Overflow nobody is going to yell at you or punch you or try to get you fired, but the instinct remains.
>Most of the times I end up on Stack Overflow, I arrive via Google. I usually have to check for around 5 answers before I find one that hasn't been locked as "not constructive" or for some other arbitrary reason.

Thats kind of the point though isnt it? The idea is that you should find the right question and answer and not the x-th repost of them.

Anyone familiar with the side know why reposts arent simply deleted instead of locked? It seems locking them only worsens the problem they aimed to combat?

Probably true, but even shifting the demographic mix (with a large % of interactions on SO still being white male) is male Indian culture and communication style inclusive towards females and other groups? I may be off-base, but my experience is that Indian males are very point-blank and strongly assertive in their communication style, so the underlying assertion about inclusiveness would still ring true I think.
Ok this is getting ridiculous, I'm very curious what motive someone would have for downvoting this (other than my username). What is there to disagree with?
I think you are right that minority status rarely has to do with the mocking, but I also think this might be beside the point. I think really the concern is that people who might already feel like outsiders are easily discouraged and made to feel even more like an outsider. And as it turns out, it isn't even hard to identify as an outsider on stackoverflow, even if you are a great coder! I just checked out the stack overflow public survey for 2018 [https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018] - 92% of users are male, and 74.2% is white or European decent. Seems significantly homogeneous.

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding the Basics of Blockchain
Go developers are busy making fancy (or rather, pretty generic and bland) logos and thinking about "brand identities", while developers who use other languages do actual work. Does a programming language really need a logo, a cartoony mascot, an entire "brand guide" pamphlet and a "visual identity"? RMS was right when he said that software industry is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. We see this when developers pick their tools not according to their functionality, but to what is trendy and looks cool at the moment.
The real value of Flask is that it makes you appreciate what Django does by default.
