That's a slightly different game, because the SAME airline sells hundreds (usually thousands) of seats per day, and there's a lot of signaling involved.

A route I (used to) fly frequently has two competing airlines, one of which raises the price towards the flight date even if they have free seats (they bank on you willing to pay a premium for a next-day unplanned flight), the other lowers the price towards the flight date if they still have free seats (they don't want to fly empty). The former does much better financially than the latter, although I cannot tell if that's the only reason.

But a house owner sells/rents out once in 5-10 years, and never to a repeat audience; So money is all that matters, signaling doesn't.
TL;DR: There exists a "pause" CPU instruction, which signals to the CPU that the code is in a spinlock wait loop. In Skylake this instruction sleeps longer than before. If your code heavily uses this, then it'll wait longer for things like locks to be released.

I think "sum-type errors" are the wrong default. They force you to deal with the bureaucracy of different error types, which is useless because error handling almost never cares about error type. And they don't give you a stack trace, which is a lifesaver for development and debugging. Plain old unchecked exceptions work better. Probably cheaper too, because sum types require wrapping and unwrapping at each step, while exceptions can be very cheap when not thrown.

Eh, for what it's worth it seems like making life terrible for landlords is a good way to convince the there's no point bothering with tenants, and thereby reduce the housing supply.

We've tried that in Ireland - I'm the beneficiary of Rent Pressure Zones in Dublin and I think they're incredibly dumb; if you want more housing don't try your hardest to convince all the people thinking "hmm, should we rent Grandma's unit that's been vacant in Rialto since she died 10 years ago" that it's a terrible idea!

Myth: Consumers always want something new.
Fact: Very often, they are happy to rebuy the same or a similar item.

This is something I wish more retailers would get. Once I find a pair of shoes that fits me that I like... I really, really don't want to go though that same discovery process 1-2 years down the line. I just want to buy the very same make/model of shoes I've grown accustom to.

This is happening right now. I don't have any statistics, but I've seen TV reports (i.e., anecdata) about German retirees moving to Romania or Bulgaria. The biggest issue for them is that they only know German, and the locals in their age class only know their own native tongue. Maybe when people from my generation need to do the same in the future, it will be easier for them because English fluency is/will be more widespread by then.

EDIT: Would be interesting to see how this might affect the economy at large when this gets widespread. There already are quite significant transfers of purchase power across borders within the EU, e.g. (IIRC) the main income source in the Republic of Kosovo is family members working in richer parts of the EU and sending money home. Retirees who receive their pensions from the rich countries, but spend it in the poor countries where they relocate to, would serve as another force in the same direction.
For web apps I’ve always used Mechanical Turk and paid each user $10 vs. just a dollar or less. I made each tester download a screen record plug in for chrome, hit record and then go through all the steps in the test. Once finished they emailed me the recording.

The above is what you get from usertesting.com and other sites but pay up the nose($50 a test) vs. $10 or less dollars per test.

If it’s a downloadable app Just spin up a web UI/UX and have the turkers follow same steps but have them change the browser to say iPhone 6/7/8 view.

Technically, it's the inability of the payer to pay the mortgage that causes market crashes.

If you had an oracle that could predict with 99% certainty whether a given housebuyer would make a certain size of mortgage payments, you could afford to lend them that amount no matter the size of the down-payment, with a 1% risk premium over your interest rate.

We don't have such an oracle, so we look for other signs. One of the signs of financial stability is the ability to pay a large fraction of the price in advance.

That doesn't really show the point you're trying to make.

What I gather from reading the wikipedia article is that they registered bitly.com after the Libyan government seized a .ly domain that was incompatible with their ideology. Nothing to do with the war.

And that decision is a bit questionable anyway. It's quite likely that more .com domains have been seized by the US government than .ly domains seized by the Libyan government.

Harry potter. First and the last part
I moved to England less than a year ago, and out of all the countries where I have rented, this is my worst experience so far.

Ignoring the poor treatment received by letting agencies, the landscape of property ownership is grim for newcomers. My salary puts me comfortably in the top 5% of the country earners, yet I spend about one third of it renting a tiny studio in town. We would need my partner to make above average salary to afford a modest 2 bedroom flat in town, or to be on my same payscale to be able to afford one of those terraced houses that we usually associate with middle class.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm privileged, for me this data is just a symptom of the economic divide that this country is undergoing. If I can hardly afford to get into the property ladder, what should those in lower brackets expect? Will there be an increasing difference between those that own multiple properties and those who will be forced to rent all their lives?

> Taleb introduces the book as follows: "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better". Hormesis is an example of mild antifragility, where the stressor is a poisonous substance and the antifragile becomes better overall from a small dose of the stressor. This is different from robustness or resilience in that the Antifragile system improves with, not withstands, stressors, where the stressors are neither too large or small. The larger point, according to Taleb, is that depriving systems of vital stressors is not necessarily a good thing and can be downright harmful.

I'd say it depends on the sort of application you're developing.

In the next couple of weeks I'm due to release a boxing game (shameless plug: leatherthegame.com), and other than myself my only tester has been my cousin.

Having worked on the project for over 3 years I'm aware that there are areas where I "can't see the wood for the trees", but I am confident in my own knowledge, and only wanted an external viewpoint to see how a noob would see things from afresh (both in terms of not having used the app before and also him being only a lite-casual boxing fan, so he wasn't up-to-speed with some terminology).

I know full well that once its released the proper boxing fans will get in touch, and I'll change things post-release from that feedback, so my strategy is very much a post-launch end user feedback one. In an ideal world I would have had more friends who could help me test it, but there's only so many opinions I can factor in pre-launch, and managing their experiences and feedback would have been a mini-project to manage purely by itself. When already time-constrained with launch schedules, app store listings and last minute bug hunts and device optimisation I couldn't spare the time to manage a phalanx of testers.

This has been a passion project/scratch-my-own-itch project, which is why I feel more secure not having many outside opinions. If you're building something more strategic, to fill a target niche in a specific market say, then my approach will DEFINITELY NOT WORK. In this case you'd be best off firing out a message on LinkedIn or something like that, asking for would-be best testers.

Some people don't live in countries where abortion is legal, as it's the case for my friends. It's also important to know the huge influence of culture and peer pressure on having kids. I got physically upset when I went to parties with friends and couples were told non-stop that they needed to have kids, "it's wonderful", "I didn't know what it meant to be a woman before then", "your biological clock is ticking", and of course there's peer pressure back at home as moms tell their children that "they need grandchildren", "soon they will be too old to help with raising them".

Ignoring that pressure sometimes means alienation in most social occasions as your friends and siblings only have interest in "parents talk" that you cannot engage in.

The argument is that differentiation (and then exclusive content) is the reason why content distributors are willing to take risks.
I think the only escape from going back to generational landlords (feudalism) is to have all rentals become rent to own: you live there for 5 (3?) years and can purchase that part of the building (ala condo) or duplex. You'd have to pay your share of taxes, but you would no longer be renting and would have your own property. If you go to sell it, the landlord gets first call on buying it.

AMD is not trying to "disrupt Intel's model", it's trying to outcompete them on mostly the same model.

I have no idea what "disrupting Intel's model" would actually mean. But I would be fine if Intel is just outcompeted at their own game, and this already seems to be happening.
That's assuming that people rent because they cannot afford a house. I rent because I don't want a house. Owning a house is a ton of additional responsibility for what would be very little to no gain for me. I don't have space requirements (no children and don't plan to have any, no spacious hobby that would require a workshop, no car that would need to be parked in a garage). I'm not saying that everyone is like me, but I'm pretty confident there are more people like me than there used to be.
I’m actually surprised what happened to the SK (Slovakian) TLD mentioned in that answer - it seems to have been taken over by fraud, then the fraudulent new owner of the TLD sold out to some company abroad and they’re now trying to sell out again, and apparently a contract prevents the state from doing anything?

How is that possible? Why can’t the government just ask ICANN to delegate the TLD to a legitimate entity and tell the greedy fraudulent one to fuck right off?

IMO Yes. iOS doesn't have this problem. I believe Android finally doesn't have this problem. Windows, Linux, and MacOS all have this problem because they don't run sandboxes by default.

OSes should be redesigned to make it nearly impossible to install a rootkit. Sure there will be bugs in the OS but those bugs will be fixed but the goal should be that apps can't own your entire computer anytime you install one and asking for admin should have big giant warnings and be shunned and shamed from any software that asks for it.
The Holy Bible. Especially in times of stress, bereavement, worry, etc.

Satan Takes Job's Property and Children

13 Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, 14 and there came a messenger to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 and the Sabeans fell upon them and took them and struck down the servants[c] with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” 16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” 17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups and made a raid on the camels and took them and struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” 18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, 19 and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.

> If it weren't for AMD's AMD64 … we'd be in an Itanium dominated world right now

This is far from certain: Itanium shipped years later and much, much below the advertised performance thresholds. In the meantime even Intel’s own x86 had closed the raw performance gap and since IA-64 was such a huge bet on brilliant compilers that the early benchmarks for most business code favored the P-III even before you factored in cost. Similarly, the original claim that it’d offer competitive x86 performance turned out to be half a decade behind years behind when it shipped so it wasn’t even remotely competitive for legacy code and businesses back then had even more weight of code which was difficult to recompile.

It’s equally plausible to me that Intel would have continued to see strong x86 sales and weak demand for Itanium and ended up shipping their own 64-bit extension a few years later with less pressure from AMD simply because businesses weren’t keen on the “recompile everything, make a bunch of expensive optimizations, and it might be faster than the system it’s replacing”
For Screen Readers I've found it helpful to use elinks or lynx to develop the initial HTML.

If your application remains readable and functional on a terminal output, chances are high a screen reader can handle it (since I can't afford any of the screen readers people seem to use, that's what I'm stuck with, aside from following general guidelines on this)

Progressive enhancing, the process of having a working HTML page, enhance with CSS/Images and then enhance with JS, is sadly a rather lost art in modern webdevs.
Post-launch is mainly vetting that new features makes sense to users and catching UX faux pas, instability or even crashes, etc. before opening up to a wider audience, and possibly scores of bad reviews.

I was thinking about just opening up on the app store as well, and just sit back and wait for reviews or emails, but that seems risky, since potentially bad reviews are forever. For a paid app at least, that can have a pretty serious impact on possible uptake. Having at least some level on confidence, that the app is usable and stable before general availability, is the safe play I think. To that affect, closed testing seems the only viable option.
They try to make programming easier but fail at it. Experienced programmers take this change in their stride. New programmers are most effected.
