This 1000x. I reflexively said (out loud) “god no!” in answer to the title question.

The only people who ask this question are people who haven’t been landlords. Every single one of my friends who has, can commiserate with me as a former landlord.

Maybe buy a vacation home to rent, or an apartment complex. And of course being a part- or full-time landlord is a perfectly reasonable job.

But if you think that being a landlord just means having someone else pay your mortgage, I guarantee you will think differently after a year with even exemplary tenants. And most tenants are far from exemplary.

(still shaking head)
I'd say the former: Python is becoming more and more common as an introductory language, and is used as "glue" in many fields that people try to get into (AI, "data science", ...). There's also been a few areas where complexity has been added (asyncio in my mind being the main new source of confusion), but I don't think those are common enough to have a huge impact.
The kind of people who are giving the author PTSD aren't going to be helped by free housing, free money, or free anything other than free medical care, and in the extreme cases, institutionalization.

Since we find the idea of involuntarily committing psychiatric patients to be unpalatable these days, we have to either way until they commit a serious crime and go to prison, or live with them on our streets and in our libraries.

There are many homeless people who are not socially problematic, but that's not what this article is about. The problem people are incompatible with free housing, because they are violently unstable. They're schizophrenic, drug-dependent, or just plain violent.

All these responses about economic considerations or a lack of homeless support infrastructure are totally missing the real issue, which is that some people have such extreme mental illness or other social problem that they are incompatible with peaceful society, and it's not something than can be solved with housing and cash. That is a separate problem entirely.
I remember leaving the subway for downtown SF, at Union Square for the very first time. My first impression of SF was playing slalom with all the homeless people right on the street. I've been living in southern SF for four months and often saw a saddening amount of poverty that most people just seemed to ignore. I also regularly saw homeless people that were so mentally ill that they appeared very dangerous (especially for a female).

Berlin's homeless people become most visible when they enter the subway to politely tell their story and let people know why they need to beg for money. In terms of danger the organized beggar-robber gang type (which are not really homeless people) may be on the rise, but this is no comparison to what could be seen in SF. While there is the occasional lunatic you have to avoid, you usually just feel pity for Berlin's homeless people. There is also, without doubt a relatively stronger social net that can catch more of these human beings.

> It certainly isn't harmless, not even close.

True, but it's usually not an immediate threat, and that's the one where people get hospitalized. Living on the streets certainly isn't good for your health, but it's closer to "smoking, drinking and unhealthy diet" than to "putting a razor to your throat" in terms of immediacy, and it's the latter part where most people agree that the state can and should act against your "will".
Do you would mean like supporting open file handlers in SQL protocol ? This is still going to be the ever growing bottleneck and liability in your deployment pipeline, if you intend to practice Continuous Delivery.
Or if it's at the non webscale level just store it in your own filesystem and serve from your filesystem instead of doing it from S3.
Yes, I like these sources too. Good for building intuition. I would just add that Heisenberg-like here means that both systems share features of wave mechanics. Doppler type effects aren't quantum mechanical though.

When I suggest the mechanism is unknown, I mean that Heisenberg uncertainty is a postulate of quantum mechanics. In other words the fundamental reason that quantum mechanics should appeal to wave mechanics isn't really established - we don't really know yet the fundamental objects and interactions that lead to quantum mechanics (despite much effort).

What Is the EU Air Safety List?
One thing that keeps me confident (even worried) about house prices: We have now got used to not demolishing old houses. This is a BIG problem. Look at London. Yes it has a mud base layer, but we can manage nowadays. Yet the whole city is still mostly 2 storied houses. And it's growing out like crazy. I don't see how this trend will revert, in any "beautiful" European city. The only way prices would go down is if we had a popultion decrease. Immigration will not let that happen.

Buy-to-rent should be a crime.
I think this problem is essentially the age old problem of refactor or add features.

Its manifestation in the data world, from an awareness perspective might benefit from similar solutions. I imagine there is plenty of advice about that. Personally I think refactoring is not a management concern - why should they care, and why should you expect them to understand? It's a technical problem and so I think you need to convince your fellow techies of the benefits to them. What might they be?

If you don't have a data engineering function, then one way to promote a better organisation is to make each data scientist an expert in one subset of the data (if that is possible). Then it becomes their responsibility to service any data requests, and they will automate and refactor when that responsibility becomes onerous, and not before, which should be a good way to self regulate your resources.

I have used standards and conventions within data platforms that I have written, but I feel that they are not as important as discovering what you need for your particular job and situation. It seems you have a handle on main factors to consider. Of the top of my head the various tradeoffs are to do with computation time, storage space, code complexity, infra costs, costs of refactoring, future proofing etc. And if in doubt, use the lean and agile approach!
"refactor: changed stdout statements"

is a useless commit message. I should not have to manually open the commit to find out what was actually changed. The message should specify changed X to a. If it's too long, that's what the git commit description is for.

The keywords are also redundant. I don't need to see doc) if the rest of the commit message reads "update README". That's obviously documentation.

"style: black to files"

??? all that was changed was styling here with newlines and quotes. [0]

---

To be frank, it's not that hard to write a good commit message. It just requires you to use your brain for more than .2 seconds to write a good, concise summary. Forcing yourself to do this also in turn makes you write better (concise, focused) commits instead of just shutting off your brain and following some tool.

Speaking as 1) the son of a divorced mother on multiple antipsychotic drugs beginning in her mid-30s for schizophrenia, involuntarily hospitalized multiple times, who routinely discarded her medications as soon as she was discharged because of the terrible side effects, and 2) a retired physician (neurosurgical anesthesiologist x 38 years) who rotated through ERs and psychiatric wards during medical school and residency, then was occasionally paged to the ER to deal with critical airway issues/Code Blues in patients with psychiatric histories: people with major mental health problems are quite often prescribed medicines whose side effects are so crippling and difficult to live with, they'd rather do without. This is the root cause IMHO of much social vexation for the rest of the population. In addition, some homeless people, offered safe shelter and food in a controlled, supervised setting, refuse, fearing loss of freedom or worse. I see no solution that doesn't infringe on their rights as human beings.
Aggressive paywall for me... Can't even read a single line!

All human models of reality are flawed. It is improbable that our small minds will ever comprehend the nature of the universe in it's entirety. Each answer uncovers more questions, more paradoxes.

That is not to say we should not continue to try to understand the world around us. Only that logic dictates that we proceed with humility.

I'd say that's more a mathematical statement than physical derivation. The effort of subjects like string theory is to lay down fundamental objects and interactions from which other theories (quantum mechanics, gravity) emerge. But I don't think there is a final word at the moment of what the fundamental theories than result in quantum mechanics should look like.

Any data supporting the appreciation of 4% a year?

This seems socially much more acceptable to taking a loan and then invest the money in stocks for example, but to me is not that different.

True the volatility is much lower, but so is the liquidity if you have to dispose of the propery in a short time due to life circumstances.

If this is a single property and plan is to be the bulk of one's net worth it seems risky to me.

Then there's the "dealing with tenants" variable which can be none to a ton of work/hassle.

REITs are imho an interesting way to get rental income with less hassle and much more diversification if you can stomach the stock price moving up and down.

Look at Vanguard VNQ for example.
It really depends on where you are. In many european countries it's traditional for the tenant to fix the problems. Washing machine broke? Get a replacement yourself. Pipes clogged? Call a plumber.

Hey,

No nothing yet, but did you want to create an issue explaining the feature? https://github.com/boyney123/mockit/issues/new

I can take a look and see what we can do
Your description looks right to me. Note that the many-worlds interpretation was originally named the theory of the universal wave-function. You get there by trying to eliminate wave-function collapse and Heisenberg cuts.
Thank you so very much for the interest!

You are exactly right there! It's about 30% cheaper to purchase the yearly plan and it has all of the same features.

Do you think there is a need for two plan? (with one of better value like on DarwinMail)

or

Maybe two different tiers with different features and pricing?

What are your thoughts?
Lol, I'll take that as a compliment.

I don't think I was defending him though? If he's killing millions of people whilst not being himself isn't that in some ways worse?
But you're ignoring a simple reality: people go to libraries because there is no other place to go.

Why as a society have we decided that libraries are where hurting people are to be herded? That librarians are their outlet to be heard?

We need more and richer commons, and particularly places that encourage healthy people to stay healthy and sick people to get well.

There is a bit more insight to be found by reversing that - Python is simpler than other programming languages and achieves that by sacrificing a little power.

Compare it to C, which it has displaced as an introductory language. Python and C are superficially interchangeable to a beginner, but to learn C you have to invest time into pointers and memory management. Python sacrifices the efficiency of direct memory management to avoid the complication of pointers. Arguably, this is a significant benefit because it also cuts down on ways to introduce bugs.

Compare it to a Lisp - Python has a pretty inferior set of basic capabilities (can't even use a dict as a dict key, drives me mad), but that just means there is only one easy way to do things that everyone uses. Less room to think up clever ways of doing things, less complexity reading other's code.

Being the 'best' language for a task has a huge cost - incidental complexity created by including specialist constructs. Python's success suggests maybe programmers prefer this complexity to be encapsulated in a library rather than the language core.
Actually a paradox is something that appears to be a contradiction. It comes from the greek for "contrary to expectation". So often a paradox is about wrong expectations and not a contradiction in of it self.

isn't the problem here that there is a punishment for not removing copyrighted material. so, anytime some bot says that there is X% chance that this is copyrighted, it's safer to just remove the material.

And these are private companies, not public institutions, they are not letting you upload stuff because of some common good, they do it because it's their business model, why should they let you upload something that has a 0.1% chance of being copyrighted by someone that could then demand money from them.
Definitely a lot of beginners, many learning it in school, and many learning programming not as their main thing, but as a tool to use in whatever field they are in. More like MATLAB than Java or C#.
But I believe that a fair bit of them will continue to use Python in the future (and get over the beginner problems), as they get jobs, startup ideas, side-projects. Curious to see what effect that has over time.

"Bye!"

Life is simpler these days. Others should envy me.
The angle of approach is different. Steganography is about hiding a message, you want it to be as undetectable as possible (including using technology). Eventually a transformation may completely destroy the hidden message, but you are supposed to transmit the media as is. The usage is mostly for spying or crime.

Digital Watermarking, you want the "message" to be very robust to transformation. The main usage I know is to help protection against piracy, for example if somebody upload a movie online, you want to put a specific signature related to the location where you sold the movie so you can find the uploader. Eventually the uploader will try to remove the watermarking by either identifying it or by applying some transformation to the movie in hope that it will make the message unrecognizable. So it's a game between industry and the potential tricks that the uploader could apply.

The intersection between the two fields is that they both try to modify the media as little as possible.
>not sure what log4j1 is doing

If it's the bug I ran into then their code to detect running on a legacy JVM is tripping with the new JVM version numbers and it thinks that it's running under ancient Java 1.x. It's then saved in the org.apache.log4j.helpers.Loader.java1 field.

To migrate some code that needs log4j12 to more recent versions of Java I ended up writing a hack that accesses Loader before log4j uses it and manually sets that field to "false"
Don't dump the data to Postgres.

Instead, define a data model and write an API that pulls data out of the respective places. The API will be the one place your applications get data from.

You don't have to build it all at once. Just code the parts you need as you develop new applications.
I don’t understand why the history of the code matters so much to some people. Give me well designed and commented (!) code, with tests, designed to be understood by humans. Thats a bar few code bases clear, if I need to look at the git history its a sign the code is crap and I have to use all the information that I can get, with history being my least favorite because it has shitty UX (discoverability, navigation).
Do you think that's an effective deterrent? Do people go "better not download that inappropriately underage video, they might not let me in the library anymore"? And, if a punishment is not an effective deterrent - what's the point of it? What are we trying to achieve?

Going meta - your comments are all along the lines of crime and punishment and whether they "deserve" it etc. The replies to you are all along pragmatic lines - what we should do to make society behave the way we want. These approaches are incompatible - when the pragmatic approach disagrees with the fire-and-brimstone approach, ignoring pragmatism will by definition get a worse outcome. Your own feeling of righteous anger is not a good thing to optimize society around.

The notion of justice and punishment is a subsidiary mechanism to pragmatism - one of many ways to achieve a peaceful, stable society.

(One that does not appear to scale especially well beyond groups where everyone knows each other, or into deeply complicated and partially enforced rule sets. Don't kill your tribe member or the tribe will cast you out = effective. Don't exceed the speed limit or you might possibly receive a fine of some constant amount plus a proportional factor to the amount you exceeded it by = ineffective.)

both can be proxy-cached on your local network to remove external dependencies.

both have ... uuuh... okay package managers (poetry/pipenv for python, npm/yarn for node) with *.lock files to properly define their dependencies. How does this differ from maven/gradle?

honestly, i prefer the node/python package management. Maven/Gradle is just so incredibly extensible making it insanely powerful.. But it comes at the cost of complexity and developers being unable to actually understand whats happening.

My point is that even if you look at the URL bar currently and it says company.com, you don't know what you're connecting to. Probably you're connecting to CloudFlare/CloudFront/Akamai/Fastly/any other CDN which is set up with good-enough certs to impersonate the domain. Therefore you're not trusting a particular server, you're trusting a relationship that the domain owner built with her's service providers.

The proposed scheme is just another way to extend this kind of relationship that the publisher builds, a new mechanism if you will. There is nothing in there that requires more or less trust from your part than before.

You're complaining that need URLs to reflect what is requested - in fact, I argue that you want the URL to tell you what is being served. But this is not what's currently happening.

URLs are already lying to you.

I doubt that you WHOIS-lookup all DNS resolved-IPs to verify that the IP presenting a cert is assigned to the organisational entity that you want to connect to, and have a whitelist of those entities that you actually allow your browser to connect to. Because that's what currently required to make sure you don't go through CDNs and other intermediaries between you and the publisher.
I’m currently in China and impressed by how many electric vehicles you find on the road: Not only buses but also many cars and scooters. Besides their own brands like BYD I saw a fair amount of Teslas as well, more than in Germany. Pretty impressive how things changed since I’ve visited the country last time (10 years ago), personally I think China will easily beat Europe in switching to renewables. In general the infrastructure there improved drastically it seems, many highways, train connections and public transport systems like metros are on par or slightly above Western standard I’d say.
A lot of these people, I would wager the majority , had bad childhoods. Resulting from vicious cycles caused (in part) by poverty.
