"Economists are virtually unanimous in concluding that rent controls are destructive. In a 1990 poll of 464 economists published in the May 1992 issue of the American Economic Review, 93 percent of U.S. respondents agreed, either completely or with provisos, that “a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available.”1 Similarly, another study reported that more than 95 percent of the Canadian economists polled agreed with the statement.2

The agreement cuts across the usual political spectrum, ranging all the way from Nobel Prize winners milton friedman and friedrich hayek on the “right” to their fellow Nobel laureate gunnar myrdal, an important architect of the Swedish Labor Party’s welfare state, on the “left.” Myrdal stated, “Rent control has in certain Western countries constituted, maybe, the worst example of poor planning by governments lacking courage and vision.”3 ___His fellow Swedish economist (and socialist) Assar Lindbeck asserted, “In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city—except for bombing.”___

Despite the financial collapse in the early 90s, throughout the decade Japanese youths still had one of the highest levels of disposable income in the world so that probably had an effect. You could be making the most obscure music, film, or fashion and you still had an audience willing to pay for it.

Also I remember people's attitudes shifting in some inexplicable ways, suddenly cultural capital seemed to carry much more weight than other forms of capital. For a while it felt like everyone in Tokyo was trying to one-up one another, not financially but through cultural connoisseurship. Strange times but I do miss the general atmosphere, Japan feels like a completely different country now...

Nothing you quoted changes anything. Yes, they added more abstraction on top of HALs. No, that doesn't mean HALs are now any "closer to the metal" than before.

Here are some obvious hints to why this is not true:

* there are no HALs defined for even 1/3rd of what kernel drivers you would need to run a modern device

* a bunch of the HALs require you to provide handles obtained from standardized kernel interfaces (e.g. the aforementioned sync objects)

Finally, of course: all HALs run in userland! All their power is in being granted SELinux access to various kernel interfaces! Vendors can not change these rules or risk failing certification.

The important point is that animal agriculture is calorically inefficient, so much more land has to be used than if people could substitute plant-based food sources for animal-based. Much of plant agriculture today is only necessary to feed animals. Some animals could probably still be fed with plant agriculture byproducts if little to no land were directly used only for raising animals, but far fewer than are currently raised.

And many grasslands that cannot be sustainably be used for crops could be returned to wilderness rather than plant agriculture, if we were to increase caloric efficiency of food production. They probably should be, in fact. This doesn't preclude some animals being raised, but if we don't greatly reduce the amount of land used for raising animals, deforestation, desertification and other harms will continue to degrade ecosystems.
Exactly, it's a relative thing.

TypeScript is a great tool.

At the same time, people have written apps with vanilla JavaScript for a very long time now, and it works just fine. If types are really that big a deal that you have a hard time writing an application without a compiler checking your types, you should reevaluate what you're doing. It's not "dangerous" to use plain ol' JavaScript, and implying that others are foolish for not using it reeks of software snobbery.

Whoa, you mean people really still use plain JavaScript, bruh? I mean, don't you need like punchcards for that? That's how grandpas program, bruh. You can't even, like, scale an app without type-checking. An app written without TypeScript is like a house of cards, dude.

I have to believe scientists and from what I see the argument for global warming is pretty solid.

That being said, I've been hearing about it for around 30 years dating back to a college class explaining exactly how CO2 trapped heat and showing starkly rising levels.

30 years isn't a short period of time so one can't say "climate is not season!" or whatever, and during this period the earth has not gotten noticeably warmer nor have any coastal areas I'm aware of been submerged due to warming.

Again, not denying warming makes sense on paper nor arguing it isn't happening or won't come to pass in the most extreme sense if we don't do something. I have to respect what science predicts. But what I do know, in the non theoretical world, is what was predicted then hasn't happened. I don't know why. Maybe it will later.

Point being, climate can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Speculating on inland property in hopes climate change is going to make it worth something probably isn't going to pan out unless something (besides lip flapping and hand wringing) really starts moving soon. Unless it's a long term investment for your grandkids, then _maybe_.
And that only happens among Christians? Atheists and Muslims aren't motivated by money?

Funny I got an old Tom Tom for $10 a few weeks ago, too old to get software updates, and I was pleased to see that it worked just fine after the rollover.
This happened to both my parents. In my dad's case, they failed and he died. In my mom's case, they succeeded in saving her a few times even after she was brain dead. She had a DNR, but it wasn't an actual medical order from a doctor, but a legal document, so they ignored it. No fucking clue why.
A lot of folks have complained about this data set, but the author has updated based on feedback. So it'll improve.

But unless Amazon are hiding several hundred contributors and thousands of commits in a repo that's been magically overlooked for years, the figures tend to make them look bad.
I feel like there is a lot of lessons that one MUST take into account if they want to create a new PL. Not getting inspiration from Rust or F# should be a mistake.

Sadly Rust also didn't take inspiration in Go's std library.
>Think back to the Terri Schiavo case. While she was apparently Catholic, the sentiment was the same. Her family believed that she was going to be healed by God (or Jesus, either one) and would make a full recovery.

That's a mischaracterization of what happened. They had several arguments.

1. They believed that she wasn't actually in a persistent vegetative state, but that she was still conscious and could understand what was said to her and display emotions. They even found doctors (who were probably wrong, but they still had validation) to agree with their theory.

2. They believed that her husband wanted her to die so that he could get remarried while still inheriting her estate.

3. They didn't believe her husband when he said that she wouldn’t want to be kept alive via feeding tube. They believed that since she was a devout Roman Catholic she would have seen denying nutrition as euthanasia even though she might not want to be kept alive via a ventilator. This is the main religious argument made at the time, and it’s more of an argument about her wishes than a religious argument.

4. They found doctors who told them that there was a chance of improvement through experimental procedures.

They also seem to have made money since then by taking a salary to run a foundation in her name. It seems like either they were just parents who didn't accept that their daughter was in a persistent vegetative state, they believed the doctors who told them that their was small chance of improvement, they were trying to make money, they really hated their son-in-law, or some combination of all 4.

It didn’t seem to have anything to do with them thinking that God was going miraculously heal their daughter. It’s definitely not evidence of wide scale Christian refusal to accept death.
> outside of some sense of nostalgia.

I think there's a case to be made that WE changed since then and that it's not purely nostalgia. There weren't the same level of distractions in the pre-internet world (I understand that the Internet existed but it wasn't the attention economy driven behemoth that it is now). People could engage more deeply with things like Video Games and Anime.

People today are conditioned to jump from dopamine-burst to dopamine-burst as they quickly scroll through their social feeds. Those attention alternatives also fill a big part of free time and mental bandwidth, so the time left over that is dedicated to games and other entertainment is limited. Generally our engagement is much more superficial now.
I suspect there may be better ways to practice, rather than just doing it more? Some people put effort into memorization of commonly used idioms.

Here's another dubious analogy: when learning music, you do need to practice, but playing a song all the way through a bunch of times is a rather inefficient way to practice it.
Naming things is hard - that goes for blog posts as well as a software projects. If all you’ve got to contribute is an ad hominem attack on an article you ostensibly agree with anyway then you really need to ask yourself who is more in the wrong here.
The problem is that for some (many?) people none of what you mentioned is ever going to be enjoyable. For some, studying and work will always be a negative thing that that simply have to do. I think having goals for people like that is the only way to actually continue doing things. There is no end to work, so if you don't enjoy it it'll seem hopeless to even try.

At least this has been my personal experience.

I live in a big city, and I still often enjoy walking slowly. Walking (and cycling, some days) is the best part of my commute, I want to savour it. It's being stuck in the metro or bus that I'd rather speed up.

People blocking your path is an orthogonal issue; I always take care not to do that, regardless of the speed I'm going at.
The whole point of DDD is to reduce complexity by modeling the domain in such a way that you can change it. There are many times when DDD is a wrong choice for your given problem. Perhaps the code you've seen wasn't a good candidate for DDD.

But yes, I'm wary of too many base classes and libraries designed to help you manage your model. Don't use someone else's ValueObject type, instead, work out what makes sense for your model.
And the only reason they went after the marrow and brain was because they were eating the leftovers, according to the article. They couldn't really eat other parts of the animal unless they wanted to become food to other predators.
Intuition for relativistic velocity works a lot better if you imagine changing units so that velocities between (0,c) become velocities in (0, infinity). Then two infinities added is just infinity, and adding two numbers which are close to infinity is a number even closer to infinity.

This amounts to measuring 'rapidity' w (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidity) instead of velocity. Rapidity captures what velocity 'actually is': a hyperbolic angle between the spatial coordinates and the time axis, given by w = arctanh(v/c). For low velocities, w = v/c, so you can write v = wc and just treat it like a regular velocity and it basically adds as you'd expect. But as v/c -> 1, w -> infinity.

(Unfortunately, non-trivial rapidities along different spatial directions don't exactly add, and it's complicated. Boosting in x and y can result in a rotation in the xy plane also. Or something like that; I haven't looked at the math in a while.)

I sometimes wonder if it would make more sense to define cw = v as the 'correct' extension of velocity to high energies, and just say "oh, meters per second -- that was wrong. That's not what velocity is". Thinking of the speed of light as 'infinite' seems very appealing.
For me the best analogy is a carpenter tightening screws. When you start out solving a particular problem part of the scope and required functionality is always not 100% clear. So you start out with an implementation which favors flexibility over things such as DRY or performant. As you learn more about the problem you start to optimize.

One of the biggest mistakes (the biggest one is probably not writing tests) I see junior engineers make is trying to optimize before fully understanding the required functionality.
Who is handing it to them, and where do they get it from?
No, the insight of Einstein is that speed (of light) is fixed and space and time are defined with respect to it. Is that weird? Yes. But that says more about our evolutionary instincts being off than anything else.

Btw our atomic standard of length is defined with respect to the speed of light, making speed (he first derivative of space with respect to time) more fundamental than space itself. This isn’t just abstract theory.
It's like making your swords out of bronze when steel is just sitting there.

I mean, we have laws about murder, rape, and theft, but are the questions actually resolved? did george zimmerman murder trayvon martin or did he justifiably kill him in self defense? if you pick a young woman and an old man at random, will they agree on the definition of "rape"? will either of their definitions be reflected by the law in their jurisdiction?

we do our best (most of us at least) to create laws that are just and fair, but ultimately law is a pragmatic measure taken to prevent societal collapse. murder is illegal because you can't have a viable society where anyone can kill anyone else at any time without penalty. whether or not you treat dying patients humanely doesn't really threaten the stability of a nation in the same way.
All, check out SteadiPay in apps. It looks almost identical to Debitize. Not sure if it’s on Android but there an iPhone app. I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll set it up once I phase out Debitize.
Maybe I'm missing something, but you're basically saying 'the speed of time is a function of the speed of time'.
>> The best writers write much more slowly than everyone else, and the better they are, the slower they write.

By that metric George R.R. Martin is on track to be the greatest writer of all the time :)
Written in Scala, has a "greyed out" Python and Java client icon in the diagram at the very top of the readme, and an issue from Jan 2018 querying about a Java client which has had barely any traffic.

Epilogue: Caveat emptor, rambling ahead. I probably shouldn't write comments when I'm tired.

Hasn't type safe ORM mappings and/or middleware, code generation, been done to death, at least for the JVM languages?

However, as I've been out of the Java loop for a bit, I'm not 100% sure of the stage of ORM like tools/libs today, I might be wrong.

If the admin UI is spectacular, and the migration flawless even with a fair bit of data, those could be useful tools. Neither are easy tasks though.

But still, I have to wonder, is there actually more ways to try to do it, to connect code and relational/graph data?

Feels like there has been so many attempts and that all of them has shown to have their various, by now, surely rather well known limitations?

Better is always possible, though.

However, except for mixing in a bit of graphql and having an additional server, I can't really see what it is they claim is so different?

Though I've been out of the loop for some year I can't have been the only one that have implemented/integrated a graph querying language on top of a ORM(-like) mapping with code generation, similar to Prisma? Or are there really no decent tooling of that kind, still?

Except for admin UI and real-time, I wrote something very similar back in 2007, or something like that. Unfortunately my client weren't interested in open sourcing it, back then it could have been somewhat original.

If I recall correctly, it was a customized Hibernate in the bottom, some code generation for Java - ASP - php - and maybe perl - clients, some fancy dependency injection.

Connect to the database and you got generated all code that was needed for a service you could query for tree fragments of almost arbitrary shape.

Essentially a GraphQL light I quess, as GraphQL wasn't available at the time, if it existed at all.

The http API used JAXWS I believe and it exposed few endpoints for some REST-ish+JSON and SOAP

You could do transactions over multiple requests if you wanted to, and weren't easily scared.

It could obviously prune circular graphs into trees, although that code had a few fun bugs initially.

No streaming though, as the client didn't need it.

Could it be an extension of the perverse concept our society reinforces throughout life, that: suicide is illegal.

I feel that one rule ingrains in all citizens a notion that each of us does not have free agency over our own body. That someone else’s decision trumps our own regarding our own body.

I claim this is a perverse notion and the that feelings of the family in this article are a mere extension of this pervasive philosophy.
There is a very different story of immigration to the UK. I assure you that (almost) everyone who arrived from afar to end up in Brum worked their asses off and the second generation born here are true Brits with the family values, respecting the religious heritage and the work ethic. Some might not want to work dawn to 11 in the family business but there is plenty of entrepreneurial spirit. Those with fancy cars who happen not to be white in Brum and the car culture that goes with it is something I really like even though I think cars are 'evil'.

I don't believe there is a lot of 'Great' in Britain, but what there is has certainly been in part due to the efforts of people working in vibrant Birmingham. More canals than Venice.

Before I went there the snob friends of mine in London and the shires told me it was a concrete jungle and I would be better just going to prison or walking off a cliff. But it has to be one of the friendliest and most welcoming places in the UK. The people there take an effort with their appearance which makes Londoners look like tramps in comparison. I found tree lined avenues aplenty.

I have never been to Detroit and am not in a hurry to do so. I am not entirely sure I would survive that long even if I was looking for the good in everyone. Brum may have some concrete and dispiriting housing (lived in some for a while) but there aren't vast tracts of wasteland with feral dogs and everyone having access to a gun.

Sure the big car plants of the West Midlands are no more, to be replaced with things like shopping centres, however, there are pockets such as the Jewellery Quarter where you have high tech next to low tech, cutting edge next to century old.

Also different is how the suburbs developed. It was the car that caused Detroit to donut out into suburbs for the centre ring to become no longer needed. I understand Washington DC has sort of done that too. Birmingham certainly does not have a ring of wasteland around the citadel city centre. Just a few 60's tower blocks to be wary of if it is late at night and you aren't familiar with the area.
