which will be recouped when selling

That assumes that you can sell the house for more than what you bought it at.

You are correct that principle may be recouped and in addition, you get a mortgage interest tax deduction. However, you also pay 6% when you sell the place and maintenance costs (~1% per year) need to be accounted for.

There are several assumptions you need to make for owning to be cheaper than renting - that usually involves owning for a longer period of time (>5 years) and some modest appreciation (~3%+).

Of course, my numbers were from the SF market. There are many cities in the US where owning is cheaper than renting from day 1. SF just isn't one of those.

My pleasure, I always enjoy sharing what I firmly to be the truth. I guess that's a pretty common attitude here on HN, but I seem to be the only one who believes that truth is found in the Catholic Church.
Putting money into real estate is also gambling. Remember 2008?
I enjoy seeing other people's solution, but since I really learned the power of grid, most of this is overdone with flex.

As an example, here's how you can make a vstack with grid.

vstack {
display:grid;
}

It's ridiculously simple and clean, works with all the elements without extra wrappers, no margins, no cleaning up trailing spaces, etc... add spacing class using "grid-gap" and it's the near perfect solution.

The hstack example is more complicated, because you simply have to choose widths, there is no getting around this, even with flexbox. (unless you want to totally give up control of the layout to "auto".)

The spacing classes are clever, and I may adopt some of this method. (I use grid gap, I only have 2 sizes) With the "Spacers" example, a width of 1fr works using grid.

Flex beats grid with some natural overflow capabilities (row wrap), but other than that, flex is not great for this kind of thing.

Since there's only a few examples, I suspect this person will be adding more in the future.

Edit: For declarative things like this, I think there should be one assumption. I use vertical in web interfaces. This means one less option to remember. (ie, by default everything is vertical)

Edit2: With an unknown number of items, flex is probably preferable for horizontal items for simple columns. But that is only if you don't care about the widths of the columns too much as well.
This could benefit from a lot more nuance. It's safe to take acetaminophen and ibuprofen together because they work differently. That's also why it's more effective to take them both at once. But you also get the side-effects of both.
No Man's Sky is the most impressive implementation of this in a game that I've ever seen. Not just basic data defining the systems and the planets and stars within them, but the fractal detail that is each world full of flora, fauna, etc.

A big jump over Fractalus, on that. :-)

> At Doist we believe that open and sincere communication improves our decision-making process. That’s why we’ve built a culture that encourages feedback at all levels of decision-making

Who is 'we' and doesn't that get to the nub of the problem? It's highly unlikely that they held a group conference and decided what 'we at Doist' believe.

That 'we' actually refers to a small subset of leaders who decide, and it is 'flatness' and stagnation for the rest.

It's really expensive to build new production facilities.

These trade wars benefit the lucky rather than those willing to change.

Not every company can afford to create a new manufacturing environment, Apple is Priced luxury so their margins are high enough to compensate.
Does that include rare earths?

This article says China hold 97% of rare earth's production:

Anyway, that's an important argument made to make durable phones, and with lightweight software so that you can do more with less. I wish there was some durability review on products so that consumers can understand what companies do to make products have a limited lifespan.--
Fun fact - we offered the Swedes commercial rights to sectors in the North Sea as a trade for Volvo stock; the Swedish secretary of commerce basically said 'Hell, no!" at the last minute and backed out of the deal.

Edit: It wasn't the Secretary of commerce but the Volvo general assembly which turned the deal down. My bad.

If you're putting the heading in each cell, it kind of defeats the purpose of using a table to begin with, no? If I was so painted into a corner by mobile support and refused to make scrolling friendly (e.g., by pinning the left column), it sounds like just not using a table in the first place is a much better solution.

That's what manufacturers are already doing...moving production to places like India and Vietnam.

What's interesting to me is once the trade imbalance with Vietnam tips over to their favor what will the US do. Also it's not like Vietnam is some democratic wonderland in terms of their government.
I think it depends on the width of the table.

For a small 3 column table, it is not necessary. The tables on the page "Example Tables I" could have done without horizontal lines and a little more space between rows would have been enough.
CSS is why we can’t have nice and easy rich UI things in web dev world. And so I downvote you...
This is an annoying trend; it's true that row lines add a lot of noise that distracts from the content, but you should use color and value to reduce the dominance of the table lines, not remove them altogether.
that is just not how it works

>, but then you seemed to have a further point relating to Bezos and others like him, and I couldn't figure out what you meant

Thanks for letting me know you tried to undertand my viewpoint. I think my earlier messages being confusion instead of clarity -- were caused by me not "showing all my cards". Allow me to go back to your earlier comment to explain further:

>All of these examples are almost non-sequiturs because these people operate in a different world altogether compared to the audience the article is supposed to target. They have their own huge things going on

I actually thought _I_ was one of the targets of Blanda's "alwaysownyourplatform" message. I don't have any huge things going on and _I'm_ in the audience he's trying to convince. But I didn't want my earlier replies to be about me or why I don't choose to prioritize owning my own platform. I figure nobody cares about my story. Therefore I chose to mention more prominent people like Bezos and Butterfield to avoid talking about me. The reasons they use someone else's platform would overlap with mine -- even though I'm not a famous person like them.

Unfortunately, I do think readers think I brought up irrelevant examples of people even though I was trying to emphasize their reasons for using Medium instead of their net worth. I don't run a big company but nevertheless, I also don't have an urgent business need to stream content from my own "www.jasode.com". That would be premature optimization and I have other much more important priorities than owning my own platform.

I think there was an unspoken underlying message in Blanda's plea that I didn't like. He seemed to be more concerned with weakening Twitter/Medium/Youtube rather than explaining how someone like me can use them as a stepping stone to other success. His messaging is more about harming the "big guys" rather than enabling the "small guys". I don't like simplistic advice that reduces down to platitudes rather than real discussion of tradeoffs and strategies of using others' platforms. His suggested idea of "build your audience on your own terms on your own website and charge them money" often means no audience at all.
You know people give Americans shit for opposing anything 'public' but it's not a sentiment out of nowhere. Everything made for public use is abused and turned to complete shit. Not sure if it's a cultural thing or what.
What? Zen/Zen+ had larger L1 icache than Intel, same size L1 dcache and L2 and L3. Zen 2 actually decreases the L1 icache to 32KB but in exchange increases L1 associativity, micro-op cache size, BTB size, and L3 size.
About 850 million people have lifted themselves out of poverty in China since the eighties. It's extraordinary. Just want to be clear the US is not exactly perfect when it comes to human rights. Sure, China had a lot they need to do better, but the improvements are incredible. In the US, look at Indian reservations, border detentions, hate groups, number of people in jail... We are not the human rights poster child.

It’s hard to draw a line. I would however support better treatment of farm animals and also make it more difficult for people to get pets. We foster dogs and I find it hard to understand how people can get a puppy for the kids for Christmas and then dump it a year later at a shelter it just at the roadside. As a society we should be much more respectful of animals but this raises a few very inconvenient questions that are hard to answer.

Manufacturing in China uses large numbers of human beings because labor is cheap there. Manufacturing in the USA strives to use minimal human involvement through automation because of the high cost of labor there. Companies moving production of goods back to the United States will not necessarily add a significant amount of jobs.

So this is “made”, not made... assembled somewhere that is not China (so India), but there’s no mention of where all the components they’re assembling are being produced at.

The most recent estimate [1] I could quickly find valued the iPhone X at $600 in components alone (excluding assembly), so any trade war would seem to still be incredibly perilous for Apple, especially on their lower-end products.

I haven’t been following any of this, so perhaps they covered it in another story, but for Bloomberg I really expected a bit more of an in-depth analysis.

It appears via the screenshot that you can have multiple 2FA devices, which is great. I love my Yubikey in theory, but in practice I'm only using it for services where I can have a TOTP or SMS 2FA backup method, because I'm not convinced it will always work or be available. Even if having SMS 2FA enabled negates any security benefits of the Yubikey.

Thus far it's just Dropbox and Gitlab that I use it for, since they're among the few services that allow multiple 2FA methods to be used at the same time.
Moving production back to the U.S. would not solve the human rights issue. The UN has called out the homeless crisis that’s right in Apple’s backyard as being a human rights violation. Other commentators compare ICE detention centers to concentration camps or chastise the high number of prisoners the U.S. has even outside of ICE detention centers.

Clearly no country is perfect, but if Apple were to relocate production based on human rights, it seems like a Northern European country would be the most appropriate place.

This actually reduces the impact of higher construction costs. If a 1000$ phone with a 300$ profit margin needs say 3 hours of labor to create it’s not that important if the labor is 2$/hour or 20$/hour.

Further, higher construction costs would quickly push automation which is almost competitive at China’s labor rates.
I don't know what you're talking about. You said Windows uses UTF-16 and pointed to Wikipedia. I'm only pointing out that that's only true by convention. Windows, even today, does not require that its file names be UTF-16.

How to quit vanilla emacs: select “Quit” under the File menu.

If you’re using macOS, you can also select “Quit Emacs” under the application “Emacs” menu, like every other macOS app.

If that wasn’t an option for you, very likely you’re not in vanilla emacs, or you’re in a particularly ancient emacs (which happens, but is as easily avoidable as using vim, VS, Sublime, etc.)

Would they really raise prices though? They have $800 billion. They're still the 3rd largest company on the planet. They charge $1000 for their flagship. They could probably easily eat that cost, still generate profit (although less profit) on the hardware and still spin that to make their shareholders happy.

Their phones are already at a premium and there is a diminishing return on customers if they keep hiking prices.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to sit down and write one. The API and docs for it are fairly palatable and offer some very reasonable guidance on things like exponential backoff.

It still doesn't mean that they're going to be able to go without a persistent notification if they want to run their own background service, but that's a change that everyone is required to deal with. "Secret" background services were abused egregiously by bad actors and sloppy coders alike in the past and it's time for that to stop. This carp some people are floating about it incurring "warning" is nonsense--if they looked at the developer docs they'd see how easy it is to avoid that happening.

No. Vegan burgers have a small target market, and are not very appealing for most of the people. Non vegans would consider buying vegan burger if it had some advantage.

The internal politics are still interesting, though.

"The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court" by Woodward and Armstrong looked (amongst other things) at why Nixon's new Chief Justice Warren Burger seemed unable to push the court in a more consistently conservative direction despite more conservative membership. Part of the conclusion was that he just wasn't that great at playing the internal political games required to stay in control.

Incidentally, the main source for that book was eventually revealed as one of the other Justices, Potter Stewart. It's a fascinating read.
Wow, thanks for such a detail response!

Delaying with decision to adopt Rendy or wgpu-rs is reasonable: both are still maturing, and are in the early adopter phase.

> We're particularly interested in rendy's render graph [1] approach to a higher-level, near-zero-cost API. Are there plans for something similar in wgpu?

No, this would not ever be in wgpu (or feasible on top of WebGPU in general), since it's providing safety at lower level, and there is no way to get near-zero-cost there.

Saying that, I'm not sure what the bottlenecks of your use-case are. Do you plan on submitting a lot of different work on GPU, i.e. heavily use command recording on CPU (as opposed to relying on GPU instances), to the point of being sensitive to CPU performance? My expectation from a creative coding framework would be that zero-cost is not the foremost priority.

> will it be possible to spawn multiple swapchains for multiple windows? Or will it be purely focused on a single window web experience?

Yes, I think this is already possible in wgpu-rs, although nobody tested multi-windows yet. In general, we put heavy focus on native usage.

Looking forward to your post!

My understanding of the rare earths issue is that the reason China controls that much of the production is because all the extraction & production elsewhere shut down due to an inability to compete with China's prices. You basically have to open pit enormous areas to get any quantity of them.

If the global rare earth prices rise enough, or if China continues to try to manipulate its exports to ensure that products using rare earths are manufactured within its borders, then mines eleswhere will open.

It's not just the women's movement, any postmodern "leaderphobic" group of anti-heroes will operate under this adhocratic masking of power. It's still power, but it's the power-pill that palatable to their sensibilities, suitably masked. Marxist revolutions "of the peasants" pioneered this mass delusion of flattening.

But isn't this just gaslighting people? I mean "flat" is just disempowering existing power structures, to empower a secretive cabal, that pretends to rule "benevolently" by consensus by usurping the existing "oppressive evil" but ends up just becoming worse.
