Im +30 in Spain and I thought the demographic winter would land some great opportunities to buy a home. But looking into some deserted municipalities everything keeps being expensive, despite the extremely low demand (and I know this because I scrape the listings and track em). If I want to buy a shitty house that needs restoration I'm investing over 200k. Not to mention that the land registry holds values way above the market, so even if If I was able to buy for 1€ I would be paying taxes over 100k or whatever the value.

If you talk to some owners they seem to not care. Yeah they know that their property is falling apart but they won't sell under $value because they bought it at that price or similar reasonings.

So as an individual, what can I do? I don't want to be renting my whole life, I actually want to buy property but the market just doesn't adjust for some reasons. Remember we're talking about Spain, where the job market is shit, and the economy just can't keep up with the events.
A problem with digital media as well is that it encourages you to just save everything but it's easier that way. But as I'm discovering well into the digital era, I wish I had more curated photos and video--though that comes with its own problems.
Why would eMMC NAND flash memory be less reliable than NVMe NAND flash?
for basic, small stuff, which I actually need fast, at this point, I've switched to local stores, because as Amazon prices at this point (Europe) already include a heavy postage margin, the store is generally 2/3 of the price (up to around 10€ - e.g. kitchen hardware, paper stuff).

That's especially apparent for stuff like USB-cables, where you have a hard-time finding (in the worst search experience on this planet) the few cost-competitive offers (on the marketplace, and they are ridiculous - like 1.5€ delivered with prime the next day). For "Amazon recommended", topsellers or their basic line, it's basically that if you need more than 1 cable (or buy one of the 3-packs...) you can order at a speciality store, pay 6€ shipping and 2€ for the cables (in much better quality - still marginally more expensive for one-off and "I need it now"-things, but as both things are not really sustainable, I consider this a bad habit as well....).
Firstly, this isn't just about Epic negotiating more favourable terms, as they have said in the court papers. They're doing this to set a precedent for all other app developers using the Apple app store, and of course trying to help themselves in the process. However, Epic are not the only company to experience these problems and therefore they believe they're standing up on behalf of all others as well.

To your second point, all I can say is that this isn't Adobe. This is not a professional piece of software which businesses pay a pretty penny for, this is an early access video game. At the end of the day Epic would have weighed up the risk associated with this case and its implications and yes it is unfortunate that there are people in the firing line. But heck, its drummed up a lot of news and discussion as a result of it, which is I'm sure exactly what they want.
Those are often fake, too, though.

Here is the Notation appendix from my LA book https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/notation_appendix.... for your reference, and another excerpt with basic info about about using set notation https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/set_notation.pdf

If you plan to read the book by Guruswami, Rudra1, and Sudan you should consult their notation:

For most types of symbols you can figure out what they mean intuitively, but these two are really important, and not obvious at all:

(n,k,d) ≝ code with block length n, dimension k, distance d

[n,k,d] ≝ a linear code with block length n, dimension k, distance d
The double slit experiment works with much more than just light. It works just as well with electrons, and even with large molecules (the current record seem to be molecules of 2000 atoms each) [1]. That gives you a pretty wide range of observers under your definition.

> except if it means thicker, heavier, less optimized devices

Speaking specifically of my MBP Retina, and looking inside, I fail to see how eg. a soldered NVME would make the laptop any thinner. There is plenty of space created by the much thicker heat sink, leaving room for a bunch of components to be modular.

The reason all these components are soldered in is to make it hard for users or small shops to do quick repairs and cheap upgrades.

You must buy a new laptop for a RAM upgrade.

Apple negotiates with component suppliers as a single buyer, drives the price of components down, keeps all the savings to itself, and re-sells the components at an exorbitant markup.

It is ridiculous for anyone to think this has got anything to do with quality.
If you only want bilinear and nearest-neighbor, yes.

Lanczos is much less easy to write, and is even harder to make it run fast.

And there are things like subpixel positioning (it is way too easy to make resizer that shift image by 0.5 pixel)
The market (especially in real estate) is not totally frictionless and arbitrage-free. Plus people can have genuinely different valuations for consumable assets (like housing) - that's the entire point of a market, to facilitate trade where both sides make a gain on the transaction.

I don't think anyone would buy these houses as an investment, but if you wanted a quiet house in the countryside and spoke Italian already, maybe it could work for you.
Kind of disagree, but just because the literature for ASM for x86 is that good. What I am missing most of the time is declaration of the platform. In most cases "learning ASM" means x86/Linux or x64/Linux, this time it is x64/Windows. Because you will quickly get to a point where you want to do system calls and that can vary from platform to platform.

If you like an easy instruction set and don't care about platform specific syscalls, I would recommend an 8bit µC. An Arduino for example.
Yes, just like any camera since cameras have a "detect and focus face" feature like to see faces in things like curtains or other seemingly random structures, just without trying to match a specific known face to it and replacing it. So how's this news? Because of a celebrity name? Surely it's not because it's screaming "ad for Gigapixel AI" in my face. My Sony Ericsson C905 did this over 10 years ago. But looking at the other comments its at best entertaining a little because it's just silly.
>> I trust Google's capacity to save my files

Sure but do you Trust Google's AI not pick up something from you, or a network you happen to be connected to then determine your account is in violation of their ToS at which time all of your accounts are suspended.

Which if that happens you better hope you can get enough social media attention to have your issue attract and actual person with authority in google to do something...

If not your SOL as is your data that google "reliably saved" for you
Wait, what? It doesn't matter where you buy an XBox game, Microsoft is getting their cut as platform holder no matter if digital or retail.
Ask HN: Creating simple session based authentication in a React/Node app?
Hey all! Recently I've been trying to implement local server session based authentication in a React/Node app of mine, but all the guides I can find revolve around JWT's. It'd much appreciate if anyone could link to some learning resources to help me get started.
And you need to check that you can actually restore from backups - which is a step a remarkable number of people forget to do.
TailwindUI is fine so long as you don't want to customise the blocks they give you. As soon as you want to do that you're in a world of pain.

Example: I wanted to use their "Hero Sections - with angled image on right" without the navigation where shown (was going to add a standard top navbar). As soon as you delete it, the angled bar doesn't reach to the top. I ended up keeping an empty navbar in that place to keep the block looking right.
yes, maybe I'd taken that deal. that's even better than the stupid seller once nagging me for 2 months (!) that I should take their shitty 20€-bluetooth-adapter (noisy af) for free, because they are such a nice company... Ehm yes (then bought Fiio for 5€ more (and worse reviews!), which is "a brand" (albeit a chinese one) and works very well).
I guess, but if developers and team can't comprehend the security concerns and ramifications of a change then it should wait until someone does.
Sure. Though hybrids are possible, e.g. encoding a fixed number of levels of recursion, with common prefixes held in or near the root.

The main point I'm making is that you can grab a whole subtree on a prefix match right out of a single index, whereas recursive queries need new lookups at every step. Recursive queries look cool for someone with an object-oriented mental model - hey, look, you can make the database chase pointers - but chasing pointers is still slow, whether it happens in the database or in memory.

(This was past me. I thought recursive queries looked neat for fetching tree-shaped data. So I built the data model and loaded it up, and then discovered that performance was absolute rubbish.)
There are more properties available in Italy that would not likely require 200k button the order of 10s of thousands. Maybe that’s your ticket?
It's impressive how many people are screaming "will never leave android" when discussing kotlin.

Interesting article. YES, open source seems like a good idea, but what about the fact that it seems like closed source is more secure or not https://utopia.fans/security/whats-the-difference-between-op... ? And now all over the world, data security is becoming more and more appreciated.
This is not nearly interesting enough to justify the Stephenson-esque asides on "English snobbishness" and bits on if Fibonacci had to apply for a grant for Arabic numerals.
probably not the ones with the device failing documented by photos.
I recently took up the challenge of porting JonesForth to x86-64. It was one of the most rewarding personal challenges in a very long time. For one, I was able to write x86-64 without needing to whip up a complete application. And learning Forth during the process was even more fun.

And yes, I know there is also jonesforth64. However, doing the porting myself was totally worth it.
Or they could like, not.

I think there's a world where corporations aren't given a carte blanche pass on human decency.

I believe that world is nicer and where possible I work to give it room to exist;

I boycott Disney because I believe what they did to the copyright system is wrong.

I don't use Google or Microsoft products because I don't think they treat users with respect. (Minus youtube which I use a mirror, and the occasional google search when I get tired of banging my head against ddg (~1-2/week, but my tolerance is probably higher than most))

I'm even abstaining from my copy of Overwatch despite loving the gameplay of a character in it, because I don't believe supporting the HK protests warrants a ban.

I'm not going to boycott Canon from this, incompetence is generally forgivable, but I certainly think it's noteworthy, and if it comes to light they are as nonchalant as OP says they can be then I won't be supporting them.

Downthread someone had mentioned there was a 10GB/user cap, so it's unlikely someone had been using it as their only copy which is also reassuring.

But then again maybe someone was just getting into photography after having a baby, and their precious first photos were lost! Or photos from a special date, or first (god forbid last) moments with a pet; it's sad to think about, and it can't be justified with "darn, guess it's gone forever so Canon could gain a small advantage using some risk calculus. Oh well, I give more of a damn about the stock market than those photos."

Don't give me that shit!

Disclaimer: I only own a pitiful EOS 20d and a cute f1.4 50mm, but my friend has been super into photography and I've been wanting to get into it again.

Thanks for reading my rant.

As an Irish person I don't find it persuasive at all. There's pretty much nothing a monarch can do that a non executive president can't, and the UK's monarch didn't protect anyone in Northern Ireland from gerrymandering or the B-Specials.
That's not rambling at all.
No matter what you believe about humans -- that we have a soul or we are (just) very complex biological machinery, in the end, everything scientists do, do for human kind.

High achieving scientists tend to start by focusing on logic and "reason", and that's why they become high achieving.

But there is no reason not to explore our humanness later in life.

Even if MBTI is regarded as pseudoscience, as an INTJ, I know that later in life I must explore and improve my not so developed soft skills, and it only feels natural.
Pretty interesting article. What stood out for me was why the US didn't standardize to metric:

They standardized the whole country on something because they had to - too much people from different places came together, each with their own measurement system.

The rest of the world standardized later. I assume the overhead from conversion only became unbearable when some level of commerce between different nations was reached. When they standardized, they had better science available.

So now there are 2 landmasses, each big and integrated enough to have internal units, not feel too much pain from using a different kind of units. Everything goes reasonably well, unless they meet.
Yes, just like any camera since cameras have a "detect and focus face" feature like to see faces in things like curtains or other seemingly random structures, just without trying to match a specific known face to it and replacing it. So how's this news?

It's news because it's trying to match a specific known face to it and replacing it.
Combination of not caring and little to no ramifications if there is a major breach. Heck, sometimes they may be intentional but it is easy to play dumb if you get caught.
That's not "many things"

I can find one thing I disagree with on anybody

Btw he wasn't even completely wrong on this one...
I'm simply replying to GP's point about the legality of Apple's action. Until a court found Apple's action is against the laws, or new laws are written to make it so, Apple is free to operate the store as is. Tim Cook talks a lot about ethics and whatnot but Apple's profit (and share price) always come first.
If he fails to shoot you dead enough to prevent it then it's all yours. That's how these things work at the international level. Sure nowadays a country can appeal to the UN if they are being robbed but that isn't guaranteed to be helpful and back when the UK took most of the stuff there was no UN.
Hey, thanks for that. I know I've seen it said before but as I don't yet have the karma to downvote anything it is easy to forget.
I have always disliked services like netlify or vercel. Sure it seems nice with free hosting but in reality it's quite limiting and often it's cheaper to host on a $5 DO droplet or some similar vps offering. Also, with those kind of services that are free, soon gets very expensive as soon as you leave the free tier.

With a vps, you can do front and backend and host hundreds of low traffic websites.

I don't really understand what type of developer only does front end work or where do you host your backend stuff whjen you use Vercel / Netlify?

They're trivial constructions yes. But the difference is the shift in vocabulary, instead of understanding functor fusion in an ad-hoc way, the concept can be made more precise, also it can lead you to find other "non-trivial" functors for instance the Hom(a,-) covariant functor or the Hom(-,a), but equipped with the right vocabulary these things are easy to express.

Sure, monoids are trivial, because they are, but once you're in the categorical setting you can begin to talk about the category of monoids, monoid homomorphisms and so on.

This isn't to say that CT is the answer, but I'm pointing out that it provides a way to understand more complicated concepts.

Functors are trivial, but if you take their fixpoint you get ADTs. Monoids are trivial, but if you apply them to the category of endofunctor you derive monads, and so on.
> Sure, X can save your files. But will it? and will you never lose access to X?

Google, DropBox, a storage server in your house, external hard drives, tapes, burnt DVDs... you can swap in any backup system there and it's exactly the same. Google's cloud is just as valid as a backup as any other.
I can't give specific examples, but something along the lines of suggesting to replace an early return in the form of `if (…)` by something like `… ?:return`. The former alternative makes it way easier to spot on first glance where the functions bails out. The latter hides it in an assignment making it harder to see.

I should say, though, that I am by no means an expert Kotlin developer; maybe I just have to get used to idiomatic Kotlin.

Thank you again. Will try a bit later :) Maybe I'll make two posts, one just a general post about how I did it, another one is Show HN.

It's interesting that everyone was telling me it's better to expose personal experience ("Show HN: I build something because something..") instead of what the project actually does ("Show HN: Uptime monitoring").

Anyway thank you for your kind response! :)
This is the problem with a lack of land and property taxation. Elderly people will hold onto assets forever, until death essentially, whilst the building and society collapses around them. Meanwhile they demand a huge amount of welfare and healthcare services without paying into the system.

At least the land tax system in the USA encourages downsizing and efficient allocation of this resource.
Regardless of who legally owns it or the circumstances under which it was acquired the queen acquired most of it as a side benefit to or result of her official position.

It's not though. There is nothing inherently negative having to use EGS compared to any other game hub. There is absolutely nothing negative about giving developers more money to make more and/or better games. It's a net negative to take 30% from developers doing the actual work.

It has also much shorter half-life than most opioids making managing the overdose much easier (in hospital setting). For anesthetic it is a valid and safe choice.
It is of course different in non-hospital setting and non-pharmaceutical grade products - since fentanyl is very potent it requires much more precision in measuring the dosage which, when combined with unknown and varying purity makes overdose much more likely than with less potent opioids. If that is in turn combined with lack of or a significant delay of naloxone administration the risk of death is significantly higher than with less potent opioids
Indeed, that may very well be the case. I know we have all seen mugshots of persons of interest that are pulled from CCTV and have less pixels than minecraft avatar faces, along with the colour pallet of a ZX81/C64.

How AI and visual processing adapts too face-coverings is sure going to be interesting in many avenues, let alone humans.
In categories with little product differentiation - like supplements - I'll even avoid products with 4.5+ stars (unless I trust the brand).

For some reason, all the products with fake reviews hang around the 4.4-4.7 rating mark. They're seldom 4-stars or lower
> as a consumer I see a 4.9 rating as indistinguishable from a 0.9 rating.

I've been an Amazon customer for more than 20 years. Yes, both the 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews can be gamed. Many 5-stars reviews are fake because of bribery. Many 1-star reviews are from competitors trying to hurt their rivals.

That said, I still find Amazon reviews useful if I read the texts instead of depending on the number of stars. I go to the 3-star and 2-star reviews and read the specific complaints customers are writing about. Some reviewers also post useful photos.

For example, I needed to buy a guest bed for COVID quarantine so I looked for "air mattress" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=air+mattress

Most of those have 5-star reviews. I ignore that and simply read the texts. After digesting some reviews, I learn that all air mattresses regardless of brand suffer from leakage (usually after the 30-day return period). Some recommended getting a foldable foam mattress as an alternative to totally avoid the issues with leaks and broken air pumps. That's what I ended up buying and it was the Amazon reviews that steered me away from air mattresses.
> The real struggle is finding a place in life between the spectrum of art and business.

Well said. In my adolescence I was all the way on the "art" side, and as I grew older, at some points I was forced to be all the way on the "business" side, just to survive.

Along the way, there was a break in routine, and I was unemployed for a good part of a year. During that time, I naturally pursued "the art of code", as you put it - creating all kinds of software for fun, with no business goals whatsoever.

It was handcrafted code, patiently and lovingly written, that aimed for simplicity and my own aesthetic. My "production routine" became a more organic creative process. I wrote what I felt like, when I felt like it.

Then, by chance, one of the first open-source libraries I wrote became somewhat popular. It led to a trickle, then a stream of clients. Somehow I had lucked out in finding a niche, where people appreciated my craft.

A decade later, I'm still riding that wave - blessed to have a life with a sensible balance of art and business. Now that I have better financial security, I want to shift the balance back to where I came from, to bring the focus back to "art" - and at the same time, continue to flourish on the business side.
