This is what a completely immoral capitalist sounds like.

Is it impossible for the owner to reach out to tenants? Ask them how they are doing and what their payment prospects are? If true stress is indicated (it will be obvious which are really in dire straights), work with those tenants on plans to help them land as softly as possible? Rather than just terrorize them into crawling away, more injured by their association with you than they had to be.

As written, the comment is completely unsupportable.

It seems to me that no volition is needed on the part of journalists: journolists need sympathetic and sensational stories, but a sensational story is more likely than an average story to be false. (Extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence...). Combine this with the selection pressures on journolists for cutting corners in pursuit of a story/deadline, and you can pretty much guarantee that of any story type a disproportionate number of the biggest stories will be exaggerations published by unscrupulous reporting. This mechanic holds for every story type, not just rape.
The system would still work if everyone decided to switch signs like you said. But it would be confusing without standardization, so we've all agreed that Debits are positive and Credits are negative.

Plus, switching signs doesn't make it any easier to understand as a whole. A simple example: You're Blockbuster and a customer gives you $5 to rent a video.

Cash +$5

Income -$5

If we switched the signs, now our Income would be easier to understand (changed to a positive number), but Cash would be negative (and more confusing - why would it be negative when we received cash?)
There definitely are investments that have a better risk/reward ratio than carrying a 0% interest debt on a mortgage.

e.g. savings accounts with 1% interest in the EU which are government insured up to 100k. Plus mortgage debt tends to have fiscal benefits in most countries, too. That's a better idea than paying off a 0% mortgage. Especially past a certain point where there's plenty of equity in the home.

There's generally virtually no financial reason to pay off a 0% debt apart from some edge cases here and there. People do it for peace of mind, which is of course fine, but it only works because of financial illiteracy as it's not the most financially optimal decision to make. (even not the least risky).

Not all. Many in CA had their father pay off their building decades ago and are still enjoying that 1970s property tax rate while collecting the same top of market rent as new construction.
Does Yandex have an api open to the public for image search? I’m working on a side project of an image recognition app that can recognize an image of a specific image a user uploads, search the web, and return the results. Exactly as shazaam works but in my case for images. Unsure if Yandex will be useful in this case. I looked into Google’s VisionAI image recognition platform but it seems that platform can only recognize what the object is (such as a shoe or cat) rather than giving me results of exact or similar images. If anyone here could point me in the right direction Id appreciate it.

According to Symantec attackers first gain entry and then explores the network. This process will take anything from days to weeks.

By the time the encryption begins they have explored every way possible into critical systems.

Preventing the second stage attack is what Symantec has been successful in preventing, this video gives an insight into how that works

Very out of touch comment. People worried about Health insurance are not paying $700/month for a monthly car payment.

Maybe instead of trying to paint the problem of american healthcare access as a mindset issue, you can recognize that there are many legitimate problems with linking healthcare to employment.

Why should anyone go broke over a medical expense? Why in a developed country? Why is that only a common fear in the US?

Google image search seemingly has become more about identifying your image and then searching for different images of the same thing. It’s really not a useful tool for identifying a particular image any more.

Yandex is my go to now.
Some may consider velocity to be part of the problem's domain considerations while others may not. If you consider that part, then Next is a great choice if you are novicely advanced at frontend web.

It does come with a lot of preoptimizations that may not be necessary for the job (as the job is currently defined), but the thoughtful way they're implemented makes having them in there anyway not all that costly. The directory based build stuff that auto code splits, does SSR, and static site generation is high value with a very low learning curve. Not only does it not require a lot of load on the meat to use the bazooka of Next for an anthill of a problem, but it also doesn't really add any load on the metal. And the fact that these features do a great job of covering your ass should business demands pivot under you makes Next a rare kind of contender.

It's a bad choice if all you need is some small piece of an already-existent architecture, but if you need something as the main frontend body for a long-lived app, I've found Next to be the best thing I've ever used by a significant amount.

IDK about Gibson but back in the '00s I tried someone else's brand new First Act from Walmart (or wherever, but probably there) and it'd be fair to say it didn't work.

[EDIT] that is, I could play a large number of tunes such that they were recognizable and even pleasant-sounding on an ordinary cheap (say, $300-400 used or dent & ding) guitar, but was unable to do so at all on the First Act, which probably needed at least couple hundred dollars of work and parts replacement by a luthier to render it even minimally playable, let alone good-sounding. The neck definitely needed some adjustment, the frets probably needed attention (filing down, perhaps) and the tuners just needed to be replaced with ones that worked. I'm am quite certain almost no otherwise-well-motivated kid could have learned to play on that instrument. It simply did not work.

Usually with massive PRs of that sort I’ll have several smaller PRs to a separate branch that get reviewed so that everything in the massive PR to the main branch has already been reviewed and the big one is just a cursory look. But this approach probably isn’t as feasible with open source projects.

Agreed. We moved to GH from Bitbucket and code reviews is the only thing that Bitbucket did better.
The logic is right. The Chinese citizens should think about if they are doing enough. If outsiders start to think if they have done enough for it, the Iraq situation happens. The problem is outsiders do not have enough information to make any decisions. Rather than making the decisions for the Chinese, why not let them sort themselves out. It is much suitable to deal with problem with your own government because you have more information and more saying as well.

Hydroxychloroquine is only controversial because Trump championed it. Otherwise it would be a detail of interest only to doctors treating COVID and researchers evaluating the success of these treatments.

Political hyper-polarization and social media amplification of divisive content to drive "engagement" is making us all collectively lose our damn minds.

If Trump says the sky is blue, his followers mindlessly believe it and everyone else will mindlessly decide the sky must instead be green. If Trump says the sky is green, his followers will mindlessly believe it and everyone else will mindlessly revert to thinking the sky is blue. The effect of a personality like Trump and how people react to him is quite possibly worse than Trump himself.

Either HCQ works or it doesn't. Deciding that and deciding how best to use it if it does work is a job for scientists and doctors. If you are not a scientist, doctor, or otherwise guided by real data that you are qualified to evaluate, your opinion on this issue is not valid and you need to shut up. What Trump or some other media whoring ass clown does or does not believe is irrelevant and will probably change next week anyway. Neither Trump nor his detractors have a valid opinion on this issue (unless they are actual professionals).

Windows:

Sometimes Windows Update can't automatically find an appropriate driver the first time a device is connected and I have to install one manually. Time lost: fifteen minutes, tops.

Linux:

Last time I bought a USB wifi dongle, I bought one with a Linux penguin on the box. It turned out that the driver was a realtek fork and I had to manually apply their patches and rebuild every time my kernel updated. Could never get DKMS working quite right. Time lost: two hours.

I have dual monitors, one running on an Intel integrated card, one running on NVidia. Either one can run on the open source drivers alone, but I cannot activate both at the same time. The Intel drivers output hot garbage when Nouveau is running. There's a "flicker free" mode which eliminates a similar problem, but the Intel driver appears to ignore my config in this duel head configuration. Time lost: eight hours.
Your first statement contradicts the second one, which only confirms a theory that recruiters aren't the smartest people. If you want to argue that ageism doesn't exist, please provide some stats from your former work. I believe that the real situation is even worse than we can observe exactly because people over 40 had to clutch for the old uncool systems/languages just to keep their job.
Well if you don't strictly need Ubuntu chances are your scripts would work with Cygwin. Which operates under the regular Windows paradigm. Then you can use native Emacs too[0].

This is true logically, but it's important to understand that most people behave based more on emotion than logic. Being debt-free brings a peace of mind that you don't get with rational maximization of returns while maintaining debt unless you are particularly mathematically inclined.

I agree that we are on a slippery slope here, but to equate BLM with Nazis is... well, I'm not sure, but that doesn't seem like a fair comparison to me.

Gone With The Wind being pulled is about the non-suppression of black culture in the US. Yes, at the cost of suppressing southern white culture. But don't get me wrong-- I think promoting Black media is the best way forward, rather than suppressing anything at all. However, to compare this freely made decision on the part of streaming providers to meet societal/popular demand to a fascist regime hellbent on genocide...?

Finally, you have always been liable to lose your job for having the wrong political views. Especially if you are vocal about them. Political perspective is not a protected class in the US, but maybe it should be? I could see some logic to something like that.
It's just a shame that programmers like myself can't invest randomly in the tools we love. GitHub, StackOverflow, and DigitalOcean all would have had at least $10k from me years ago. I get the reasons why, it's just frustrating to see obviously good companies grow just like you expect them to and 100x their valuation over a decade.

Almost everyone, deep into trad Republican groups, agree that the Floyd killing was a sickening murder, a symptom of a broken system, and Something Needs To Be Done.

My take is that nothing gets done because Congress is incapable of doing things. At all. There is nothing special about doing nothing on police brutality. It's just one more thing on the pile of unaddressed things.

It's been this way for a long time now, and that is why Presidents now try to rule by executive orders.
thank you!

- replication is in the works, this is going to be both TCP and UDP based, column-first, very fast.

- yes, benchmarks are indeed are done on second pass over the mmaped pages. First pass would trigger IO, which is OS-driven and dependant on disk speed. We've seen well over 1.5Gb/s on disks that support this speed. Columns are mapped into memory separately and they are lazy accessed. So the memory footprint depends on what data your SQLs actually lift. We go quite far to minimize false disk reads by working with rowids as much and possible. For example 'order by' will need memory for 8 x row_count bytes in most cases.

- durability is something we want user to have control over. Under the hood we have these commit modes:

https://github.com/questdb/questdb/blob/master/core/src/main...

NOSYNC = means OS flushes memory whenever. That said, we use sliding 16MB memory window when writing. Flushes will trigger by unmapping pages.
ASYNC = we call msync(async)
SYNC = we call msync(sync)

I am still hoping to see comparisons to Victoria Metrics, which also shows much better performance than many other TSDB. Victoria Metrics is Prometheus compatible whereas Quest now supports Postgres compatibility. Both have compatibility with InfluxDB.

The Victoria Metrics story is somewhat similar where someone tried using Clickhouse for large time series data at work and was astonished at how much faster it was. He then made a reimplementation customized for time series data and the Prometheus ecosystem.

I feel like I don't understand the essay fully. Take for example George Floyd's case - I'm under the impression that it falls under the category of a "clear cut" case, doesn't it? I'm not American, so maybe my assumption is simply incorrect. But if it is indeed "clear cut", then why did it get so much traction? Following the author's reasoning, it should've sizzled out quickly, without much discussion.

Is my recollection of the events wrong, or is there an error in the essay?
The Tikka T3 is a fantastic rifle, but a Ruger American is competitive. If you get one of the Ruger Americans with a muzzle brake, it can give you a better overall experience, especially in the punchy calibers common in this type of rifle, like 308. The Tikka will probably be more accurate out of the box, but very few shooters can do their part to the level of either gun.

The big old school companies like Remington or Marlin have become lifestyle brands, for sure, but there are still some US companies making quality products. This is particularly true for more traditional American guns: you'd have a hard time beating a S&W or Ruger revolver, or a Henry lever action, with a foreign brand.

Guru: The productivity app that understands you
The watch never breaks, but the strap will break after 1-2 years of continuous wear, and its cheaper to get a whole new watch than a new strap.
We’re setting out to build the best productivity app ever, a revolutionary way of managing our lives.

We’ve used many productivity apps over the years (todo apps, habit-building apps, outliner apps, calendar apps) and while we appreciate the benefits they’ve given us, we have still found them lacking in one way or another.

We want an app that:
- Understands us as individuals and gives us a personalised experience
- Helps us to focus on what is most important to us
- Proactively tries to help us rather than passively following our instructions
- And teaches us about productivity as we use it

Please help us by answering a few questions so that we can help you to have a happier, more productive life.
