Do you want slums?

Because this is how you get slums.
I would love to be able to replace the screen on my kids kobo ereader. He used it for a month and the screen died on him. I did find a replacement screen but the cost was 70USD so a new one is not much more. I really hope that when this is legislated they look at this factor as well. If the replacement parts offered are 75% the cost of the product it hardly seems right.
I'll follow the pattern here of expressing incredulity on the fact that my personal way of dealing with this is different from everybody else's ;-) Read code. Look around the internet for projects similar to what you are working on. Try to find and fix a bug or two in each. Concentrate on how you feel working on these unfamiliar projects. Was it straightforward to work on it? Was it fun to poke into? Did you feel straight jacketed in your approach? When you submitted the fixes, how was the reaction? Was it easy to get a positive reaction? Did people thank your for your contribution but then rewrite everything you did? Did they tell you that you didn't understand the issue and reject your contribution? These are all big clues on the success (or lack thereof) in the approach taken on those projects.
There are a million better long-shot scientific experiments that could be done with better rigor and better theoretical/experimental foundation than what's in that paper. The ideas there are 'not even wrong' in the Wolfgang Pauli sense; it is scientific-sounding words jumbled into a picture that isn't even coherent, let alone in agreement with reality.

Just because you can think of it, or can imagine it being true, or are afraid of it being true, doesn't mean it's worth investigating. Should the CIA engage in leprechaun research?

Yeah, if it’s been a few years things are pretty different. The RC era was a little rough, but things are pretty standardized now. I wouldn’t say go start building with it unless it fits your use cases, but certainly don’t stay away from it if you come across it.

It sounds nice, but the real question is why are people letting these building sit empty. There is probably a good reason for it. Maybe some renter protection laws that went too far?
If you are at all concerned about confidentiality (as opposed to just integrity) properties, you need to defend against speculative execution timing attacks ("Spectre") and other uncooperative timing channels.

Language based security like WASM can prevent untrusted code from receiving timing channels, but only by executing it absolutely deterministically and denying it anything that can be used as a clock, which definitely includes shared memory multithreading. So you would not be able to run anything originally multithreaded, except perhaps by heroic measures like a continuation passing lowering of fibers. If the code has any way to measure the passage of time, there is presently no known way to prevent it from using Spectre to read the whole memory of the process it is in.

On the other hand process sandboxing can rely on defenses provided by the operating system and hardware. These are not IMO as absolute as deterministic execution, but they are better than nothing if it's not practical to run the untrusted code deterministically.

Thus you see for example Chrome shifting its security model in the direction of assuming that anything mapped in the same OS process as untrusted JS or WASM has no confidentiality. I personally think it would be better, given the historically very limited access of JS to synchronous timing channels, to go for perfect determinism in that context. But definitely there are use cases where that isn't practical, so there is a place for process sandboxing. It also makes for a second line of defense - you can run your wasm vm inside your process sandbox, and an integrity failure of either one is not fatal!

I'd imagine this whole "being strapped to a ton of explosives and using them to fly" moment is a tad bit more extreme and stressful than a submarine dive.

After that, they both have similar constant stress factors, but imho the launch alone is probably way more than what anybody on a submarine would go through.
I see a lot of plugins to customize the new tab page, but at least the way I use the browser, I usually never spend more than a second on that page.

Do people actually look at what's on the new tab page? I literally hit Ctl-T and then start typing a URL or hit a bookmark in the bookmark bar. I don't even know what's on the blank tab.
I can't actually validate your claim, but the Federal reserve increased their rates by 0.25% in December, which translates to some % increase in prime mortgage rates, which ends up restricting the average home buyer's price window by some %, some other things I don't understand, and uh, prices drop?

I seem to be in that 5%.

I wrote the /bin/ps program used by Linux. You might have heard of it. I maintained procps for about a decade. I also did a few Linux kernel changes. That all stopped around 2006 due to having 5 kids and working at a start-up.

StackOverflow and Github were both created years later, in 2008. I still don't have much use for either. Occasionally one will show up in a search for something.

There is no indicator of my struggles. When I had them, I'd walk over to the office of a more-senior developer and have a chat. Back when I started as a professional software developer, the web... existed. It wasn't a place with forums for asking beginner questions. One could turn to Usenet or IRC, but that was often useless. We used to buy books about computer programming by traveling to a bookstore, usually paying with cash.
Is that supposed to make it okay?

This is specifically about commercial vacancies. According to this article from the SF Chronicle[1], her approach to addressing commercial vacancies mirrors her housing strategy, but I'm not sure what's actually been implemented so far for either situation.

> That said, you can deploy GA while opting out of behavioral data and ad network features, and even fuzz ip addresses.

How useful is the information without this? If they aren't tracking you then they don't have your profile data, ASL is usually the most useful data but only the L is sort of available.

> You can take your server logs and then what will a non technical person do with them? Not much.

IME this is exactly what usually happens with analytics. It's one of those things that management is convinced they just have to have for it's pretty charts and feeling of empowerment, but when ask them what changes they've made based on the data they won't have a lot of examples.

I'm sure they're valuable in the right hands, but for the vast majority it's just it's a waste of time, similar to most reporting.
More likely it's worth it to them to keep rates high and limit supply.
While I generally agree with your sentiment about this issue, I don't agree about your particular statement.

For example, if it happened to be (and obviously it isn't), that 90% of white supremacists had PhDs and were in the 1% by income and wealth, that wouldn't prove anything either about whether their beliefs about whole races of people were correct.
Possibly that such a recruitment filter would exclude a lot of people with depression or anxiety-related mental illness.

To clarify, I hate talking about my accomplishments, it makes me feel deeply anxious and uncomfortable, and will say as much if asked. But I’ll also do it if that’s what’s required of me.
I'm too inexperienced to have a definitive opinion, but I'm not nearly so positive and wanted to toss out a contrasting opinion to the current comments.

After a few years of using React and some past experience with various other templating/view systems (webdev of one sort or another since '99) I started picking up a little Vue. So far it's been easy enough, but it is highly confusing compared to most other systems I know.

The syntax is like JS handled through custom HTML attributes. In one place a string is a string, in another it's a reference to a component property. If I want to iterate over a list, I spit out the `<ul>` and then an `<li>` that has special attributes that says to repeat it N times, filling in these different bound values. Compare that to, say, React, where my code is code, and my HTML looks like HTML (but is actually code) and the relationships become more clear, less magic. If I want to loop over an array and output some <li> tags....that is exactly what I do.

Vue reminds me of JSP...that's not a point in it's favor in my book.

Now - I've only been using it for a week, and there is so much more to learn. But in terms of first impressions, Vue has not impressed me...and I actually expected to be impressed.
that's just listing off the specs page... what do those thing provide to a developer who may not be maximizing the pros potential?
>>> But surely this isn't the first time they've gotten worse, right? They've increased many previous times in many previous places throughout history, right?

Truth be told. This is the first time in history this happens. There has never been as long a period without war or calamity. Properties were never inflated to the point of being not affordable within multiple decades of income.

You were trying to give the 20's as an example. 1920 is just after the war, property had zero value after most of them were destroyed and most tenants are dead. Fast forward less than 20 years and it's world war two, it's all reset again.
As these are investment funds, they would generally sell off the SPV holding the property. Whether they are tax deductible or not ultimately doesn't matter, as they are not collecting rent (i.e. they'd only pay tax on the gain).

This is why I was talking about it being a balance.

How do you pick that balance? When do you say something is exploitation and when do you say something is personal responsibility or choice?

One logical extreme is only being able to eat government approved meals. Obviously that is ridiculous but you have to know the extremes to pick a reasonable moderate choice.

My position involves maximizing personal choice as long as the truth is accurately represented.

People need homes to live. Shelter is essential in the way very few things are.
Probably makes more sense for these companies to reduce supply and rent for a higher price than have to rent or provide a lower price to renters. Speaks more to the market structure and power of both sides here.

Contrary to some of the other commenters, I've been quite happy with Confluence over the past 8 years. We use Confluence heavily at our institution (higher-education) and it's been well-received by both technical and non-technical staff. It functions extremely well as a knowledgebase and is part of the daily workflow for dozens of staff. I also use a separate Confluence Cloud license for my personal knowledgebase and journal--I find it more productive than my previous Markdown+Git workflow for notetaking.

The only negative experience so far was the big price jump a few years ago for the higher-education license that forced us to reduce our licensed user count.

Using NPM stats is just not correct. I believe React to be about 2.5x larger than Vue rather than 6x.

Maybe we should tax people for voting for politicians who enact laws that artificially restrict housing? Some places sitting vacant are far less then problem then restrictions on building.
Spot on. I think zoning is a big part of it. It would be illegal to build most of the world’s desirable cities now. Local zoning requires less mixed use, wider streets, more mandatory parking, etc

My dense, desirable neighbourhood in montreal couldn’t be build elsewhere in north america. But itnisn’t a safety ir code thing. The local zoning is actually reasonable: it’s just the laws are more anti-urbanist elsewhere.
Sorry, I should have quantified how much (and I can no longer edit my post): two in a month has been the most in a given month, and most months are just zero. Someone else used to have my phone number as well, so I had to politely say that that person no longer has this number, but that was over six months ago now.

As far as component libraries that start from HTML, I think Marko has the best syntax. Attributes are always parsed as JS expressions, for example. There's still some quirks, but overall it's pretty nice. https://markojs.com/docs/syntax/

There are some benefits from just embracing JavaScript though, especially, as you mention, integration with things like TypeScript.

I haven’t gone to pull numbers from previous studies yet, but this somehow sounds more convoluted and at the same time less effective than using neutered mosquitoes to decimate the population.

Do we know whether humans are the only feeding hosts of the mosquitoes? If not, don’t you need to feed the drug to every other species in the region that the mosquitoes feed on, in order for this method to be truly effective?

Not dismissing the study, just raising some questions for further discussions.

In my experience -- I've owned two -- the android tablets all have the same flaw. Beyond the super-cheap build quality, android can't conserve battery while sleeping. I can leave my now-4 y/o ipad in my backpack for a week and it will lose perhaps 10%. My androids would be dead. Hence I never use them.

Oh, and because no-one uses android tablets, no one makes good apps for them. eg the nice pdf readers -- I use GoodReader -- are all ios.
Thank you for this beautiful story. Each person is a universe and clearly his loss will be felt by many. This mad world we live in saddens me greatly.
It seems to me that the speculators are legitimately communicating useful information, and fining them is hampering that communication and discourages other investors from building more housing.

The useful information that high priced vacant housing communicates to me is that there is an anticipation of significantly higher future demand that isn't satisfied by current supply. That should signal for others to build more housing, as there is a lot of money to potentially be made. Or it could be signaling that there are too many things hampering construction of new housing.

Right, it seems like this only works if they conspire or if there are large property holders. Maybe it’s the latter? If I own two houses and left one empty it certainly wouldn’t change the total supply enough to comeback out ahead.

I've done it, really surprising a candidate. He was a developer for Xenia, an emulator for the Xbox360.

Right away, I reported several bugs. I found a problem in the executable loader, a problem with the division instruction, and a problem in the memory mapper. These could be considered software vulnerabilities if you accept that test code or a game might be hostile.

Despite the bugs, we hired him.

Banks wouldn't have these properties at all if they hadn't screwed the pooch financially with mortages.
