Landlord here in Oregon with just a single unit. I was a renter and now I’m fortunate enough to be an owner and I go out of my way to do right by my tenant. Rent increases are just for inflation for me 1-3% on renewal only.

DoH uses regular DNS to get the IP address of the DoH server. So they could just block queries for the most popular DoH servers.
So why the difference in "language" speeds?

You have some the results not quite following the conventional expectation. For example the Swift implementation is as slow as JavaScript. JavaScript is a lot faster than Python. Java is considerable slower than the usually very similar C#.

The implementation is fairly complex; so it is a bit hard to see what is going on. But it must be possible to pin the big performance differences implied by the two graphs to something?
Long before you tell people they do not have a right to live, you will want to address consumption. Poor people are not consuming as much as rich.
9 months is 3 quarters. A dedicated student could easily fit 12 courses into that. 12 courses is the bulk of a CS degree (barring a few electives). See for example this one:

I feel strangely satisfying to see articles like these. Soon after I feel comfortable at my new work, it constantly agonizes me working in an open-plan office. It took me a while to overcome the feeling that I'm always broadcasting my screen to the entire company. And the colleagues who want "a second of your time" would no longer send emails, they come directly at you! Worst of all, when people were simply passing by, but you feel that they are coming for you.

At last, I find out that our new office is still an open floor, I should just quit already

This is obsolete and faulty advice.

Given a modern compiler and library, a by-value string temporary can be passed down a chain of calls with no allocations beyond the first, and returned, likewise.

Passing a reference means the optimizer cannot optimize accesses, because it doesn't know what other pointers might be aliasing it. string_view has the same problem.

Quotes about Chromium and Firefox are likewise obsolete. Old code, old coding standards. Neither uses RAII, so they pay a 20-30% runtime penalty. With a modern library, short strings do no allocation. (IIRC Firefox uses 16-bit characters, so they get less.)

That said, if the runtime performance of code trafficking in string objects matters, you are Doing It Wrong.

What I love about Every Frame a Painting is the depth of its research. It's quite clear that the creators had an extensive knowledge of film. The videos always include wonderfully selected interviews with the filmmakers that emphasize the point far more than just a person talking. The Deakins interview in Shot | Reverse Shot taken from Cinematographer Style is a nice example^[1]. Or Sidney Lumet's interview in the Kurosawa video^[2]. Taking from film criticism solidifies the video's arguments, creates an amazing rhythm to the videos (Tony and Taylor are clearly great editors) and also prevents the "annoying person endlessly lecturing to me about film" feeling that I get with some other channels.

I've thought about doing videos of my own on various topics (the usage of eyes and glances in Il Posto, Kieslowski's poetry, the reflexivity of In the Mood for Love, etc.) but the YouTube film criticism industry is pretty saturated. Perhaps a different format?

I agree with the spin of this comment, but would add you don't want to be sycophantically positive about working there.

If the place sucked, you can diplomatically point out it was a challenging experience (not ideal) and you learned a lot from it. Just don't dwell on the negative. Emphasizing the opportunities you're hoping to find in your next job might give the interviewer the impression you didn't find it to be a good fit.
The house was built because there was someone to live in it.
>Social housing just manifests the imbalance in waiting lists instead of prices. It's not like people who get stuck in the queue are having a better time than people who can't afford the market rate.

This is under the assumption that demand often outstrips supply. That's actually less likely to be true with an effective social housing policy in place.

>Building more housing in desirable places to accomodate shifting demand and growing population is just as important under social housing, but even less likely, since the demand is totally disconnected from the incentives and capital required to do it.

Lol. And you think a "free" market will improve the connection between demand and the incentives required to do it? Far from it. With a social housing policy, at least more housing will be built, because it's part of the plan.

Here's another place where a social housing policy has worked very well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing_in_Singapore

Structurally, Singapore has a Georgist tax policy (it's effectively a tax haven where the majority of the population pay no income tax) that funds a very active building program. So no, the demand is actually more connected to the incentives and capital required to do it than under a so-called "free" market.
> Then say that

What, say this "The facebooks, twitters, linkedins (same owner as github) etc of the world." instead of "social media"? Why? To be needlessly verbose for fun and kicks? No thanks.

Well screw you too I guess? I don't appreciate your characterization at all.
What should they do to drivers who don't meet their minimum hours needed to pay for the benefits in a given week? Fire them? Immediately? Should it be a warning? How many warnings do you get? Meanwhile is Uber/Lyft still on the hook for all the benefits? How can they avoid these flaky drivers? Better screening upfront such as an interview? How will drivers feel when they get a notification they have to drive 8 hours today or they'll get a warning because it's the end of the week and they are short. What if it's a slow day and Uber doesn't need more drivers today? It would make more sense to spread drivers hours out of over the week. The relationship starts to sound drastically different for both parties. Especially for the 45% of drivers working less than 10 hours currently who will have to find other side jobs or go without.
The confusion is that they used small 'm', which in metric is a meter. "mm" is a millimeter in metric, 1/1000 of a meter.
> Four places in Alaska are among the nation’s largest in land area, such as Sitka city and borough, which consists of 2,870.4 square miles of land and has 3.1 people per square mile

That percentage is quite inflated though because they're using the legal definition of "city." Where I live just recently incorporated and is now a "city" but that doesn't mean people aren't still commuting 20+ miles to work in the winter.

That being said, I could easily imagine 40%-50% of people living in dense urban areas either now or in the near future, but there are always going to be a significant portion of people who don't. Given that, the article's premise that the future of transportation is just "personal electric vehicles like e-bikes, scooters, or micro-cars" makes little sense, even if these can replace traditional cars in dense urban settings, there are still going to be a huge number of people who will need a more traditional sized/styled vehicle. That being the case, traditionally sized electric (or other non-fossil fuel) vehicles (such as Teslas) need to be part of the future of transportation if we want to reduce the overall negative impacts we have on the environment.

I would also disagree that there are more "sociological downsides" to living outside of dense urban environments (there are pros and cons to each), but that feels like an entirely separate debate. =]
This analyst writes about that bubble and that it will burst since many years. What is the point? You simply cannot predict future exactly based on historical data. Times are different, technology is different, human behavior is changing, demography is changing, etc.

> rent control shifts the calculus for good ROI in the real estate market toward new development (marginally).

It does precisely the opposite. It reduces the value of rental properties, which makes investing in constructing them less competitive against investment in constructing new housing in some other state or country, or constructing commercial properties rather than residential ones, or any other competing investment securities.
Also it just seems to be water, they’re obviously not 100% sure it’s not something else that’s reading as water.
I know, the meaning of "zero cost abstraction" is really "zero cost to not use the abstraction."

But that's like saying if you don't use rust you don't pay for it. Just because there is the unsafe escape hatch in the language, you don't get to label the language as zero cost abstraction. Because practically speaking there is a lot more runtime cost to rust than people will tell you.

Many langauges (almost anything without a runtime) meet that definition of zero cost abstraction then.
Hmm. It might have been ten years since I tried to use one of those here, generally I found them to be broken or continuously occupied for absurd lengths of time, I.e. camped in. There’s a reason nobody is advocating for more of these to be installed despite demand for well, public sanitary facilities.

I did however use the same model in Palo Alto recently. Turns out they’re not bad if they’re well maintained and charge a small fee (50¢) to use.

For context:

"The panopticon is a type of institutional building and a system of control designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates being able to tell whether they are being watched."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
I agree with you. I’m renting out a previous condo, and as a landlord, this law strikes me as reasonable and measured. The market will still find its natural level. These controls merely dampen short-term shocks, allowing tenants and communities time to adjust as market conditions change.
As a guy who lives in a finite world where energy comes mainly from fossil fue in a way or another, I do not assume that any constant progress in energy supply is something achievable.
Let me restate that, if inflation was 10%, you’d only be able to increase by 6%, so you’d be losing 4% per year, which adds up quickly.
I'm also sorry if your exeprience has been similarly hostile. This is not a comment about which languages get used in which shops.

Whatever your technology choice you would expect to have to make a case, using evidence, and have that case properly listened to (or why did they hire you?). For performance critical technology you would expect that evidence to include benchmark numbers.

Any other approach to considering technology suggestions, involving "laughing out of the room", in the absence of evidence is completely unprofessional, very silly, utterly rude, purile, immature and wholly unacceptable. (And just quietly on that basis alone, I'd be pretty confident my solutions are faster than any put together by a team that ignores evidence and belittles talent. Again I say this is not about one technology vs another, this about "Laughing out of the room." Having said that I've sometimes used C and it has worked really quite well in those particular cases. I can say the same of C++ fwiw).

In Paris, FR, rent control was approved a few years ago. The problem is that there is no incentives for landlords to update their apartments and to maintain them clean and good looking.

Before, a pretty apartment was typically more expensive than a similar apartment (same size, same zone) which was ugly and Now, it’s same price.
I went through a different situation about 18 months back, the upshot being I voluntarily left as well as being unable to ask for references.

I was devastated at the tine and it took me a year to recover.

Your advice is excellent, full of pragmatic wisdom and, had I encountered similar guidance during my convalescence, I likely would have regained my confidence sooner.

Especially useful is your suggestion to “be professional about it” as a contextualization for words “that are not really meant to be believed, and allows everyone to save a little face”.

(My problem was partly that I was so angry about being mistreated that I thought the truth should come out and my manager should be held accountable. If I could have let that go sooner, I’d have recovered faster.)

A lot going on there, my main observations:

1. the Australia Project resembles the society in Ian Banks' series The Culture

2. Curious that a post-capitalist society uses credits to ensure allocation, sort of a UBI, but it seems to gloss over a couple details:

2a. Do credits accrue or is it use-it-or-lose-it?

2b. It sounds like credits can be transferred between people (the space elevator story), what stops credit accrual from skewing via the Pareto Law into the same 1% having 99% of credits?

No. The “internet companies who turn user data into an asset“ part. i.e. Something concrete about your criticism rather than point to an extremely vague category. I think you could probably be more specific still, but at least now I have an idea what you don’t like about “social media” and why you don’t apply that criticism to IRC.

So if my back of the envelope math is correct (and I've probably screwed something up as it's past midnight here), to accelerate a 100 kg probe to the speed of the object (30 km/s) at a maximum of 1000 m/s² using a steel spring would require a spring of modulus about 0.11 kg/s². (For reference, a slinky is less "stretchy" at 0.8 kg/s².)

It would take about 47 seconds, and the spring would elongate by a maximum of 530 km. To withstand this tension (100 kN), the steel wire (ultimate tensile strength ~400 MPa) would need to have a cross-sectional area of 250 mm², or diameter of 16 mm.

Given this wire diameter, and a Young's modulus for steel of 200 GPa, the spring itself would require a diameter of ~42 cm and ~200,000 turns, if we allow it to stretch completely during acceleration. Fully relaxed, the spring would be 3.2 km in length.

This works out to at least 130 m³ of steel, or 1000 metric tons, which is somewhere around USD$500k. Eminently affordable.

Of course, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of launching a 3.2 km long, 1000 metric ton slinky into outer space.
Citation bubble about to burst? (2011)
Give me a break. Until suppression of building new units stops (by poor, helpless owners), this is the only recourse. I agree wholeheartedly that the real solution is to build more homes but that doesn't appear to be in the cards. So the idea that rent control doesn't actually help lower income people is _completely_ nuts. I know of many people off the top of my head that no-way would still be living in San Francisco if there weren't rent control (including my elderly aunt and uncle).
