Typical response is never "awesome, let's do that" because... why should they? They'd prefer you to work 5 days a week. So they'll push back.

But, as an existing employee you're valuable: you know a lot of things that take a lot of effort for new employee to learn. And so quite often the answer is just "yes", or stalling but "fine, ok, yes" if you push at it.

Of course, some places the managers have no respect at all for employees or understanding of your value. You probably don't want to work those places at all, and if you do this won't work.

That's exactly my point, why is the default a lossy format? And consider the distinction between variables and calculations.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a friend of a friend's place for a Christmas party, where he had the most amazing audio setup in his house - thousands of vinyls and a high end turntable and amplifiers, with state of the art speakers all around the room.

He tasked me with being the 'DJ' for the night and pick any album and spin it on the turntable, which I eagerly did. Grabbing those album covers, reading the jackets and the inside sleeves etc. just brought back to me how much fun it was doing the same back in the 80's.

Not to mention the sheer happiness and memories just seeing some of the cover art could bring back. People across the room would see me pull down an album from the shelf and run up to me screaming "Oooh, I remember that one!! Play track 4 on the 'B' side - that was the song playing when I experienced my first kiss..." etc.

Something about that tri fold combination of audio, visual and touch with vinyl that made the experience a whole lot more deeply immersing. Plus the added bonus of discovering hidden gems on the 'B' side of most albums.

Cassettes on the other hand? Other than making my own mixtapes for my friends, I always found the cassette experience a PITA.
If you can't cut your expenses, getting better at negotiation will help you with both parts. Given how much Google and the like pay at the top tier, and the availability of remote work across geographic zones, it's highly unlikely you're at peak pay for your experience level.

So you can:

1. First, get a higher salary.
2. Then, go down to 4 days and take the 20% cut.

Example: when you get a job offer, merely by saying "can you do better?" you can quite often get a 10% higher offer, because usually initial offer is at the bottom of the pay range.
The vinyl market I understand. The large format artwork, the physicality of the disk and needle, the collecting, and the nostalgia factor are all pretty compelling. The cassette revival I don't get at all. I would guess it's not going anywhere.
I see all the issues out on the west coast. But then why are real estate prices in places like Buffalo, Cleveland or Pittsburgh also rising significantly faster than inflation? Why are places where the population is declining seeing an increase in real estate values?

It seems like everywhere I go everyone blames real estate prices on some variety of local issues without noticing that this isn't even a national issue, but global.

Maybe we need to address these macro issues first?

it's a long time since I read it, but I remember the treatment in Burge's 1975 "Recursive Programming Techniques" being clear, along with other techniques, if you can find a library copy. As far as I know, combinator parsing was introduced there, and I find it's normally worth reading the original literature on a topic. Burge is a classic generally as a follow-on to "The Next 700 Programming Languages".
City planning requires proportions, but cities keep building more office space without building the residential space for those workers to live in. For example, San Francisco has added over 170,000 new jobs since 2010 and has a stretch goal to build 5000 homes each year. It just doesn't add up.

So what am I to do? I'm the white tech worker living in a building with predominantly lower income families. If developers were allowed to build more condos I'd probably be living in one of them.

Also, consider what "luxury" means in this context. They're expensive because they're expensive to build and superficially nicer than older things. Once there's enough of them and some newer ones down the street they won't be "luxury" any more.

> advocating for deregulated real estate development markets

Not blindly deregulating, though. The YIMBY coalition near me includes a lot of socialists. It's entirely possible to build the needed housing without displacing vulnerable communities.
Pale, buggy, and nagware implementation.

Use the true original instead.
I think there is no real solution that people will like. In order for the price of a condo to fall to match the price of a condo in a rural area, there would need to be a huge amount of construction (I think more than most people realize) to increase supply sufficiently to satisfy demand. Doing this would drastically change the lifestyles of the people living there.

I am just speculating, but think of a city New York now, it is already known to have horrible traffic and overcrowded transit. It is also known to have some of the most expensive real estate in the world. In order to become "affordable" you could build tons of high density housing however how much would it cost to take a taxi or eat at a restaurant if you did this? I'm sure many well of people would leave because their quality of life would decrease due to these changes. So you would basically be trying to find a new equilibrium of real estate prices.

Just for context, Stimulus is written by the same people who make Rails, Turbolinks etc - Basecamp. In fact, primary author Sam Stephenson was the author of Prototype, which was the library that inspired the creation of jQuery.

Stimulus and Turbolinks 5 don't have to be used together, but when they are it's a beautiful thing. That's because Stimulus uses the MutationObserver API to observe for DOM changes (eg. loading a new view in response to a click). It is the nicest event handling concept I've ever worked with.

> the Arch of programming languages

I don't get your analogy.
In San Francisco public housing projects are funded from fees on new development. In 2016, voters approved Prop C which increased the affordable housing requirements to 30% of the total units for a new project. A combination of factors -- rising construction costs, high land value, big fees (such as Prop C), onerous approval process, etc has led to the number of new construction permits being applied for dropping significantly.

That decrease has led to the city only getting funding for about 240 units of affordable housing in 2018 - 2019, whereas from 2014 - 2016 the city produced 500 units of public housing per year. [https://www.spur.org/news/2018-11-08/how-has-san-francisco-r...]

This is a long way of saying that the market affects everything. Even if we decide to build public housing that housing is not immune from market effects like expensive land and big construction costs. If it's more difficult, and therefore more expensive, to build market rate housing then it's more difficult and more expensive to build public housing.

For example, in the Mission no new affordable housing has been built in, according to Supervisor Ronen, close to 10 years. There are 7 projects in the pipeline, but none have broken ground [https://sf.curbed.com/2018/4/24/17276152/affordable-housing-...].
Long approval processes and constantly increasing construction costs are partly to blame.

The differential forms approach also has the advantage over geometric algebra of being widely used by mathematicians and theoretical physicists, and perhaps increasingly used by physicists in general. If you're going to put in the effort to learn geometric algebra, learning differential forms instead would be much much more useful in opening up the literature to you. A 'lightweight' intro is [1].

Calling a remote function is exactly the same as calling a service in both case you are doing an RPC. While doing a Rest service is more work, using something like GRPC or java RMI is not and also support pub-sub mechanism and give you have a clear interface that define which functions can be called remotely which make understanding the cost of the function call and the security implications a lot easier.

Sure, there are lots of factors in play. Property taxes vary by county and are difficult to make broad statements about (in my county, annual increases are capped so my property taxes are not assessed based on the retail value of the property, for example). Rates examples were literally just my first Google results to illustrate via some napkin math that the loan rate has a substantial effect on monthly payment that isn't necessarily captured in the list price.

The temptation when we read stats like "the real price has doubled in 20 years" is to interpret it as "the real payment per comparable unit has doubled", when no such thing is true.

I don't know what your market is like, but mine has had a lot of new townhome development in the 1-2k sq ft range. The idea that we're only building 4k sq ft behemoths just isn't true in my part of the country, at least.

There is no contradiction. They squeezed too hard and they lost more users than they thought they could get away with. Price elasticity is working just as you'd expect. Raise prices, less users, less up-sales. Apple apparently thought differently. Hence the stock is down. There's a contradiction in their stated strategy of making more revenue through services and their price strategy which is reducing the number of users they can sell these services to.
