Millennials are over the inner-city lifestyle and are sick of paying rents higher than mortgage payments. Seeing their cities destroyed and become more dangerous over the past few months was the straw that broke the camels back. I predict most large cities will get worse over the next 10 years as businesses follow the millennials to the suburbs.
Heh. I feel your pain. EKS is a nice platform, but I have seen the light and try not to run anything that requires a persistent file system on it. I feel like I'm shouting in the wilderness though- just adout every day is a "can't we deploy mysql here?"

Technically interesting, but the suggested application is repulsive. Personal opinion of course.
Sorry but there's no way your Vitamin D levels would wear off in 4 days.
This seems fair. Although Epic should separate its Unreal business from Fortnite to avoid these in the future.
Unfortunately, you can't really count on sticking to a single version of Unity. There are so many bugs in the system that you will run into blocking issues at some point, with the only option to be either wait for Unity to release an update that finally fixes the issue, or end-run around them and write a replacement for whatever bugged subsystem you're dealing with.

I had a year long dance with Unity around a number of unrelated issues. At the beginning of the year, vLatest couldn't render with anti aliasing on the Oculus Go, no matter the level of scene complexity. That eventually got fixed, bit then stereo rendering broke. That eventually got fixed, but then JSON deserialization broke. That had a work around that doubled the size of my APK and increasef the time per game by 20%, so performance took a nose dive, but at least that was something within the realm of manageable.

Unity might be great if you are a raw beginner and you literally know nothing about suffrage development. But it is not a tool that can effectively be used to create quality, stable software that works well on a variety of user systems. If you're already know how to program and you're interested in making great products, you'll be better off leaving Unity behind and making apps without a game engine.

I'm done with it. 5 years was enough. I'm going back to WebGL for the little stuff. I'm using Veldrid in .NET Core for bigger stuff. Everything else outside of graphics is ludicrously easy in comparison.
It's a good start! You might want to take a look into the books "Business Model Generation" and "Running Lean" (and follow-ups for both). The first one comes out of science and is the state of the art tool to reason about your business. The second roughly follows a similar approach but tries to be even more practical.

Both companies also provide digital tools and I'm thinking about building one, too. Hey, we can take this post as an early experiment and see if someone is interested!
This is interesting. Thank you.
Hi,
Using go pprof requires changing your code (importing net/http/pprof). kubectl-flame aims to profile without requiring code changes, so the current go implementation will be based on eBPF.
Glad you liked the tool :)
> assuming when things eventually open up again more in say max a year or two, they will need/want to be back in the city?

Well, I do not have a huge sample to drive any conclusions.
But I know a couple whose adult children live in other parts of the world (one in Miami, the other in London).

So the couple is choosing, finally, to sell their NY city home and move to south east Florida closer to one of the children.

Largerly, besides emotional reasons (lack of feeling secure, feeling of being unwanted, feeling of being robbed by local taxes, wanting to be closer to their children) -- they no longer see that their home price will continue to go up to justify sitting there as an 'investment vehicle'.

They are closer to retirement age, so their needs, perhaps are different then others.

They also do not want their children, under any circumstance to move back to NY city or NJ.
I don't think that would have changed anything. The court still wouldn't have granted Epic special permission to break App Store rules before the lawsuit is resolved. Epic isn't in a worse position for trying it. Unless Apple refuses to let them back in after reversing the payment changes, in retaliation for filing a lawsuit. In which case I think the court should intervene.
The first link actually explains why ZFS is no more dangerous than any other filesystem.

"...Epic Games moves this Court to allow it to access Apple’s platform for free while it makes money on each purchase made on the same platform. While the Court anticipates experts will opine that Apple’s 30 percent take is anti-competitive, the Court doubts that an expert would suggest a zero percent alternative. Not even Epic Games gives away its products for free..."

Apple is arguing as if accessing their platform for free was a crime. This makes sense, since they have costs associated with reviews, code signing and distribution. But that is of their own making. Walled gardens should be outlawed.

Empty nester or not, 20,000 square feet seems extremely impractical. How do you keep it clean? Why pay excessive heating/cooling expenses? How much will you spend on furnishings? Will you even use at least half the rooms on any regular basis? Clearly, these homes aren't status symbols; as you mention, they're in rural communities where nobody is appreciating them besides the 2 people living in them. Consider me quite confused as well.
I think that is fair evidence suggesting that tesla can hold its own in the EV space. That said, Im not convinced that this is an existential threat for any of the top manufacturers. If tesla has the entire EV market for the next 10 years, it will become on of the top manufacturers, not eliminate them.

Hell, they could even be synergistic. Tesla charges a consumer premium for clean EVs, sells the credits to auto manufacturers, who get to sell high profit/ low mileage vehicles.
A bit misleading. New Privately Owned Housing Units Started have merely bounced back to an already suppressed market from the Great Recession housing bubble crash which hit all-time lows. [1]

Growth is good, return to baseline is good, but this was already a largely suppressed market. Housing supply needs to improve much more than this to be a major indicator of growth. We are currently at 1982 and 1991 levels.

New Privately Owned Housing Units starts are at all time lows historically on average, again largely from the Great Recession. Good news, but not some massive gain.

It's possible that revenue has fallen off, but it appears that Fortnite Mobile revenue has been at least $500 million per year. If this trial goes on for two years, that's potentially a billion dollars in lost revenue. https://sensortower.com/blog/fortnite-mobile-revenue-1-billi...
"Today we are launching the io2 volume type, with two important benefits, at the same price as the existing io1 volumes"
Literally in the first sentence of the new volume type intro: "… at the same price as the existing io1 volumes".
You have to remember Epic has planned this all pretty carefully from the start.

They benefit from being able to play the "if you ban us, you also ban all of the little mom & pop game developers" sympathy card.

Coining up a new catchy term while simultaneously trying to sell your new and shiny thing rings all kind of alarm bells.

At least their software is "non-colonial" which is the 1st time I've seen this term applied to software.

Software has never been cheaper and easier to use. If anybody wants to put the smallest amount of effort they can do all this stuff.

Vue’s hydration is much better, partially because the templating system allows more of the pages to be rendered. I’ve had react apps that had various convoluted systems that ended up rendering as basically blank pages before hydration due to dynamic state based on cookies, etc.
I think it’s simpler. This smells like a load of marketing to justify the existence of another silo which is controlled by some form of vanity ideology.

Nope.

We still have plenty of choices which don’t need an ideology shipped with it. I’m good with a text editor, an open source OS and a VPS, colo or some hooky box under my desk hanging off my ADSL line. That’s the small web that isn’t consumed by some portalisation which is really the issue isn’t it which is not being solved here by trying to create another one?
People seem to act like this is the first App Store dispute.

There have been many over the last decade and Apple's behaviour has been consistent i.e. they will simply allow Epic to come back onto the store and pretend like nothing ever happened. Exactly like we saw recently with the Hey app.

Apple doesn't want to punish developers but they will play hard ball if they don't abide by the rules.
What are the best sources to understand NLP? Starting from the basics
My goal is to understand how NLP works, what are the subcategories of NLP (such as sentiment analysis), then to understand how those subcategories work. Further, I'd like to dig deeper into some code. I'd also like some specific examples of how I can use some NLP algorithm in business or solving a social problem.
I am researching on my own, however, I find that it's quite easy to get lost when you don't know what you don't know.
Rent prices are sky-high, there's social unrest in large cities, interest rates are crazy low, and many companies are now ok with remote working. It's a good time to invest in the suburbs if you can find a decent price.

That's certainly true. Neither vaccines nor herd immunity are expected to eradicate the virus - but every country I know of, even New Zealand and China who are willing to lock down millions for tiny outbreaks, has made it clear they plan to end restrictions after a vaccine is widely distributed. So there's going to come a choice where Palau's choices are accepting the virus and becoming a permanent hermit kingdom.

How much of this is because of wildfires causing disruptions?
Recently there was a brouhaha on the Twitters about 2+2=5 that went viral and, unfortunately, political. The argument is that post-modernists are trying to tear down mathematics as a "white supremacist social construct" and trying to say that "2+2=5" is as valid an answer as "2+2=4". Which sounds pretty bad, so I looked into it.

The original Tweet thread was a math nerd who jokingly, and not incorrectly, illustrated how it was mathematically possible for 2+2 to sometimes be 5. The argument may have been weak, and some people may not have found it convincing, but it was a mathematical argument, meant as a joke for a small Twitter audience.

Through the Twitter telephone, many retweets and steps later, the original argument - considered, funny, valid, perhaps weak - somehow transformed into "2+2=4 is a mere social construct, and 5 is a valid answer" - which, yes, would be a disturbing trend if that were actually the argument. Thus the unduly passionate took up "2+2 is 4 not 5" as a political rallying cry. People I otherwise respect as rational began tweeting this.

It became complicated because there are always people who believe dumb things, like "mathematics is merely a white supremacist social construct", and as always with the unduly passionate, extreme opinions are held up as examples of dangerously typical. The author of the original thread was bullied by a mob.

It's complicated even further by the existence of an actual replication crisis in academe, in part driven by post-modern ideological pressures; there is actual loss of academic freedom even for the tenured.

But the lesson at the end of the day, to my mind, is that articles about whatever goes on over at Twitter, such as this one, such as this my post here, are always going to involve mobs of people being shitty, because the nature of the medium. Maybe they are as inevitable as "mobs of people are gambling in Las Vegas"

I didn't get to that point in the article, but seriously for all the paragraphs I read I thought they were just making software that I could run in my old laptop at home acting as a web-server, or a Peer-to-Peer browser-based thingy. /sighs. Well not the first time I read a cleverly disguised infomercial that eats its tail.

On a more positive note, running stuffs in my old laptop at home has proven a great way to keep connected with friends without the surveillance. But I don't see a neat way to pack the technical knowledge I used for that for people without technical knowledge... if you don't update your own setup, you have either to have a friend or friendly technician who does it, or trust Corp to push updates remotely to your home-whatever, which is just as bad as using Corp servers directly. I think that the only way out of the conundrum is technical literacy for everybody.

How about this one:

"with respect to the Unreal Engine and the developer tools, [...] the contracts related to those applications were not breached. Apple does not persuade that it will be harmed [...] Apple has chosen to act severely, and by doing so, has impacted non-parties, and a third-party developer ecosystem. In this regard, the equities do weigh against Apple.

Apple's behavior here was not reasonable and definitely deserved this restraining order.
Thanks for saying this. Lots of people like to jump to their own defense like "I always analyze every primary source thoroughly before forming any mote of an opinion on the subject". But identifying and understanding and accepting our flaws is much more important than trying to be right all the time IMO.

California has been subject to century long droughts in the not too distant past (about 1000 years ago).

"BEGINNING about 1,100 years ago, what is now California baked in two droughts, the first lasting 220 years and the second 140 years. Each was much more intense than the mere six-year dry spells that afflict modern California from time to time, new studies of past climates show. The findings suggest, in fact, that relatively wet periods like the 20th century have been the exception rather than the rule in California for at least the last 3,500 years, and that mega-droughts are likely to recur."

Being considered by Apple to have defrauded Apple does not necessarily indicate that Apple sees a risk of user harm stemming from that fraud.

5G and IPv6 (which does not require NAT).

I think another major area of research for many years has been content-oriented networking.

I see many ideas addressing the same problems from different angles. To me it's a question of which ones are going to become popular and when.

I mean things like IPFS are already popular to a limited extent.

There are home server startups or products out there. Most are just not super popular yet.
Interesting, I would say that once an organisation has gone a year or so with Asana, they are very unlikely to move as it would involve creating new processes and re-skilling non-tech savvy colleagues, therefore making it incredibly sticky. Which SaaS companies would you say are more sticky than this?
Well, instead of trying to find data to support what I said, try to find data to support what you did maybe? My assertion is simple - virtually no consumer computing devices come with ECC ram, therefore it follows that ECC ram is not necessary to use, play with and work with computers every day. If your assertion is the opposite of that, then I'm willing to see data proving it. And of course 0.0001% was pulled out of my ass.

This seems like the predictable outcome. Epic knew Fortnite would get banned when they started this; Apple is innocent until proven guilty, so no court will force Apple to reinstate Fortnite unless Epic wins its antitrust suit. But similarly, Apple's subsequent, second threat to ban Epic from doing other lines of business via macOS tools (e.g. Unreal Engine development) seemed excessive compared to other app bans, and seemed clearly an attempt to use their power to shake down Unreal customers as retaliation for the dispute.

I'm not surprised that Epic started this: they want their game store on iOS, and the only way that happens is via an antitrust lawsuit — and you can't bring an antitrust lawsuit unless you show evidence of harm (aka, lost Fortnite sales). Epic wanted Fortnite to be banned so that they could sue Apple.

I'm curious why Apple escalated, though. It seemed to me like they were playing into Epic's hand: they're currently under multiple antitrust investigations by the US and the EU, and using their market power on iOS to corral developers on macOS seems like a pretty obvious violation, and a novel one: when they banned XCloud from iOS, for example, they didn't also ban MS Office from running on Macs. Why would they try to do it now? When I first saw it I wondered if Apple knew something we didn't (since Epic would pretty obviously attempt to contest this in court), and that Apple was playing its own 4D chess game against Epic, secure in the knowledge that the court wouldn't grant the injunction on the macOS tools. But... Now it just looks like a fit of pique? Apple had already banned Fortnite when it issued the second threat to ban Unreal; the second threat ended with them getting nothing (the court prevented them from following through) and left looking like monopolists during the antitrust investigations. I don't get it.

It being a walled garden is the only way I’m willing to trust it for accessing all my account recovery emails, my 2FA SMSes, my bank details, and the sensor package that can listen to everything I do while GPS tracking me and monitoring my heart rate and gaze if I happen to be holding it where I can see the screen.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I like being stuck with an American cultural hegemony that says sexual content is forbidden, or that needs an encryption export licence from the USA government for apps written by non-Americans for non-Americans, and which still demands annual reporting to the US government for using https.

I’m happy with any walls that meet basic security standards, but I do want a wall, even if it would be nice to choose which wall.
