Just adding a @lru_cache() to a python isn't guaranteed to be correct; for example, if you're reading from an API the response could change between calls.

Footnote from Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman:

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system:

Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

Just as a slight clarification, if you set yourself up to rent part of the house, you could convert ownership of the house to an llc, or soon legal entity, and then that organization collects rent from you and tenant, which pays the mortgage, property taxes, utilities, etc. Do this only if you intend to rent portions out, as it can reduce liability.

Given how successful how successful they are and how right they were on so many other things it is hard to tell if they were incorrect or not.

But while we are at it let's talk about unconscious bias. This is brought up a lot. If it does exist and is affecting people's decisions why do we always talk about it in thr manner you just have.

Could women not have unconscious bias to men and wanting to work with them? Maybe. I see a lot of hate spouting out of "Diversity Warriors". Just the other day a lady from glitch was so happy about diversity she had to talk disparaging about men -- making a very very welcoming presentation.

Could blacks have unconscious bias to whites? Maybe. I often hear the problem is "I see to many white faces" - while living in a majority white nation. Just watched a video where that was sighed as a major problem at Evergreen. But this dotey has been told many times befor. Nobody does the math to realize that in a majority white nation the only way to fix the "problem" is to active limit reproduction or inclusion of white people. You could also attempt to reproduce no whites at a higher rate or import more non whites. With way the peoblem translate in to "white".

Could gay or trans people have unconscious bias twars cis gender people? Maybe. Given the distain all over social media for srait people, even more so for white men.

Could it be that these groups of people also too have unconscious bais and don't want to work with white men and found employment elsewhere?

I don't bring this up because I don't want diversity. Or that I have a problem with any of these groups. I bring it up because it is awfully shitty thing to constantly blame a single group of people every time somebody feels the outcome is unjust.

Why don't I see marches of women demanding to work in trash pickup? Or people demanding more men veterinarians? Or having better quotas of who gets to die doing their job today (80% men today, women have it safe).

Doninreally want these things? No. I think people while chose to do what they want do in the long run. But you cant make the "why" people don't chose a given job because of a single group for purly being that group.

Also. When working with code nobody gives a fuck who you are. They give 10 fucks about how awesome your code is and 100 fucks if they learn something from your work.
All this, plus you forgot taxes & insurance. Not even homeowners insurance, but liability insurance in case someone hurts themselves on your property. You need to cover times it's not occupied, pay for a property manager, any legal costs when a renter abandons the property and you need to instantly evict them, clean up costs between each tenant.

Building equity on a property backed by a mortgage is such a slow process that the only way to make profit (in my real estate market) is to eek out a thin margin every month and cross your fingers nothing breaks.
I admittedly couldn't read more than a paragraph in it due to phobic trigger reasons but it is striking that it is real. Inspired by GURPS listing blood as an illegal substance for dependencies (since obtaining it for vampiric consumption would not be legal). Previously I joked about bugs in game law systems making everybody living automatically guilty of illegal substance smuggling for having blood and causing every official to react accordingly - a bystander gets shot and they arrest them for being caught smuggling.

This comparison isn't useful IMO because alcohol had actually been legal prior to prohibition introduced by puritanism. If anything I'd say prohibition gave people pause since alcoholism and heavy drinking was quite common prior to it being introduced. (Note: I'm not against marijuana legalization/decriminalization - just making an observation).
I don't think I said that enthusiasm was harmful, or non-beneficial.

So I want to clarify: what I said was that people who aim at medical school because "they're passionate about medicine" are mistaken. They're passionate about a fantasy of what medicine is, because you don't really know what it's like until it's there (and popular depictions of it are as unrelated to actual medicine as 1980s hackers movies are unrelated to actual programming.)

Many people are deeply hurt by the gap between fantasy and reality. They don't complain about it openly, but inside the doctor's lounge... oh yeah.

Some find a new passion, for what medicine actually is. Sometimes this is closely related to their original ideas, more often, it's only tangential. But they're on fire, and that's great.

Most just grow up, and find that they do a difficult but worthwhile job. They don't necessarily have a "passion" for it, but they appreciate the importance of what they do, and concentrate on doing it well. They work to take care of their patients, but also to avoid liability, and to earn their colleague's esteem. They're normal physicians.

I'm discussing the fact that what people think medicine is vs. what medicine is has a huuuuge gap. You can't be passionate for a thing when you've only seen its mirage. That doesn't mean enthusiasm is inherently bad. It's misplaced.

>it remains that there are young people that understand this

No, there pretty much aren't. That's rather the key point. I've never met a student, resident, or practicing doc that said, in retrospect, yeah, they had anything resembling an accurate clue about what medicine would actually be like.

> Sadly they only measured bias in the sense of how much people is biased in relation to the brands, they didn't found out a way to measure articles quality and then cross with the data they collected from readers.

Yeah. It seems to me that they found out that people impart the bias they know a media company has onto the output of that company.

I think a better rephrasing of the findings would be: 'people are not able to properly identify the bias of an article just by reading the content'.

Reading cached files goes over the network too. CDN servers share the cache load and have just 1 or a few copies per datacenter that are served by every machine there.

It's likely that this KV store is built on top of the existing cache storage layer, which would also explain the eventual consistency and high-reads with low-writes.
When you ask your employer for permission for a second job (insofar as that is strictly legal), it's usually not a given that they ask for an estimate of the hours per week you will put in it. Instead they will ask you about the work to see if it might infringe on their business. It's a measure made to ensure that you don't get into their water, not one to protect you. That is why it's in your work contract and not part of the actual law.
The problem in hiring criminals is that they have committed a crime. Once they are brought to justice and sentenced, there is no real rehabilitation program, why we have such a high recidivism rate in the states. The best example of this is sexual predator label, if our society honestly believed they had been redeemed they would not need the label.

The plan should be how can we get people who have been convicted to find ways to signal that they are rehabilitated. Otherwise, companies will avoid the risk of hiring a criminal and the liability of the lawsuit that might occur if said criminal commits another crime and the company is sued for hiring someone who had committed that crime before.

September Review (Revenue and Goals)
The Yocto package format supports a mix of inheriting BitBake package files, Bash and Python. It's over-engineered and unpleasant. Values can easily be defined 3 or 4 layers away from the file you are looking at, either in one of the many configuration files (that can be overridden by other configuration files), or in one of the files the package is inheriting from.

Add clunky and unintuitive tools to the mix, and Yocto can easily be an unpleasant experience, at least for teams over a certain size.

It does make switching between architectures really easy and sweet, though, but that's about it.
This is ridiculous. I'm married, have two kids, and prioitize family. I leave at or before 5 nearly every day. And....

I love office perks. On-site haircuts are fantastic - much faster than going to a salon on a weekend. Snacks and free good coffee make the day more pleasant. I don't take advantage of all of the possible perks, as some are clearly aimed at people working different schedules than I. But the reverse holds true as well (the single 23 year old likely does not avail themselves of bring your child to work day activities. :)

It's not all a conspiracy to screw workers. Improving quality of time at work and productivity during work hours is a win for everyone. I leverage perks to get more family time, not less, and I observe many of my with-family colleagues doing similarly.
No offense, but many with criminal convictions are bad people. I know it may be nice to think otherwise. However there just are many people out there who are difficult if it not impossible to fully integrate into society.

then you run into not society but government issues as well. just some examples my cousins run into all the time, they have to use temporary agencies to filter people and stock crews each week. Why? Drug convictions can ban them from some sites their company does work at. It can also jack their company's vehicle insurance and health insurance cost. Plus, go figure, those with more than one don't turn out to be good employees. They used to do direct hires, they even tried VA recommended people. some just hang on long enough to start collecting benefits again or meet eligibility requirements. they have good jobs to offer as do thousands of small employers do but they cannot afford the cost of that risk.

but ignoring their hiring issues, occupational licensing which prevents competition in many fields can include clauses that block those convicted of a crime from entering a field and drug convictions doubly so.
WaPo has become horribly biased in the past four years, it is like a high-quality, long-form Huffington Post. They always have an agenda to push and they don’t try to hide it.

Yes, a criminal record never leaves you even if "expunged" or otherwise deleted from your record.

First, you have to admit to it with many jobs/other things anyway (e.g., fbi, military, bar exam etc). And it's usually worse to lie about the charge.

Second, everything is documented on the internet. Thus, even if you're eventually proven innocent and never had anything to do with the criminal charge, it will still be associated with you throughout life.
Unfortunately I think that is unlikely. Real estate gains and career prospects from centralization is essentially part of the compensation package for large tech companies today.

This is really cool.
Webapps are basically programs that are executed across the network; having fine-grained control over what happens at each layer (client, client service worker, edge nodes, proxy server, origin server) means more choices and complexity, but also so much more power.
The trick likely has to do with their write semantics. The post states that writes in WorkerKV are ratelimited to 1 a second per key. From there, we can interpret a likely scenario: if at each data center requests for a given client usually route to the same server nodes, and that information is discoverable on write, then it is likely possible for commands to those nodes to be issued during the write. The commands could be as simple as "pull latest value from upstream store". All commands could easily be issued in under a second. Given that the blog states global consistency is reached in around 10 seconds, it seems reasonable to me that all nodes operating on behalf of a client would have finished pulling the updated value by then.

That said, the scenario above is just speculation on my part.
I don't think it works this way (I worked at Google, the snacks were nice to have when I was there, but never a reason to stay late).

British Muslims would seem to be one of the least radical Muslims. After all, they don't kill gays like Muslims in Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen etc.

I never claimed that radical Muslims don't want to kill other Muslims. In fact the Sunni and Shiite conflict probably killed more Muslims than non-Muslims.
They basically said at WWDC that Marzipan is still a work in progress. They haven’t even promised a date when it would be released. Isn’t it better to release early and often and get feedback? It’s basically a “technology preview”. It would be much worse if they thought they were releasing a fully baked framework in a year, tied down the APIs and be stuck with something that got negative feedback.

It’s strange that a forum that usually supports “development in the open” is now criticizing Apple for doing just that.

Pretty much this. Ziroom is pretty much the future of real estate.

Real estate will be virtualized like every other illiquid asset. This means:

* Ownership of real-estate gets rolled up into REITs. REITs are experts at building, buying and selling real-estate and they can do it at scale. "Home ownership" where small-time retail investors buy and sell real-estate will get selected away as its a grossly inefficient model.

* Real-estate property managers like Ziroom and WeWork and AirBNB will take out leases and resell highly customized and liquid packages. They provide not just access to the property but to a wide range of services and auxiliary services.

* The PMs now manage their inventory and pricing in real-time.

At this point you can start to think of real estate as any other "cloud service": acquired on demand, at fluctuating prices, and accessible through a whole clearly defined service/API layer.

We're starting to see this in China and SEA already in a big way [1]. Here again Asia is way ahead of the curve. Real-estate "on demand" means companies and even families are basically moving between different properties every month based on prices and needs. Office desks can be rented for as little as 15 minutes.

The key obstacle here has always been renter quality and the various housing legal regimes. In Asia at least the government seems primed to step in and vouch for renter quality which which will likely evolve into something like a credit rating for renters. The legal questions are still totally up in the air but that's not stopping people for now. Companies like Ziroom have been known to get up to some shady antics like evicting people in the middle of the night or hiring policemen to intimidate people.

No that's false. Every single job I've ever applied to has asked about a criminal record.

There is, however, a "ban the box" movement in a plurality of states, banning employers from asking potential employees about a criminal record.

With the internet documenting all public information, however, it's normally trivial for an employer to do a little research and find the employee's record.
> many with criminal convictions are bad people

What do you do with "bad people?" Are they to be forever a drain on society? I agree that it's a government issue, but we should be rehabilitating our criminals instead of (just) labeling and punishing them: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/09/wh...

> they freed them from the gatekeeper of a broker

The thing is, there were many brokers - it was a distributed system. In the scenario where Zillow is wildly successful it will become a monolithic gatekeeper to real estate transactions - a highly centralized system.

It's pretty ironic that the internet has become such a centralizing force, when its promise was to radically decentralize everything.
