I actually think we shouldn’t be surprised that the proportion of 25-year-olds that can afford to buy a house in the area they grew up in of some reasonable size is about the same as it was for boomers. But the emphasis should be on in the area they grew up in, because in the 21st century we’re seeing a clustering of the economy in a few (predominately coastal) metros. A big part of the problem is that it’s difficult for a 25-year-old to afford to buy a house near their job in San Francisco, not that it’s difficult for them to buy a house near the middle-America suburb they likely grew up in.

It’s also worth noting that the median 25 year old doesn’t live in San Francisco or New York. If that’s you, you’re probably in the top 2 quintiles in your age group.

All that being said, the inflation-adjusted wealth of the median 25 year old millennial is about equal to the wealth of a 25-year-old Baby Boomer -> https://twitter.com/ernietedeschi/status/1308813020425007105

EDIT: to address the UK home-price-multiplier data

This thread breaks it down in the US -> https://twitter.com/jmhorp/status/1221828310000271361

Outside of a few notorious coastal metros, the multiplier hasn’t changed all that much.
Maybe, but on Varsities part. OP talked about "wide ranging cultural acceptance" which I consider "societal".

A monopolist hiding behaviour from society doesn't sound like societal acceptance, it sounds like the opposite: hiding behaviour it knew isn't accepted.
There's a gig economy and there's a talent economy. If you're in the talent economy where employers come looking for you all is good with the world.

If you're in the gig economy where you are fighting a dozen other people for the same split shift gig on minimum wage then the world is terrible.

What we need is to turn the gig economy into a talent economy. Jobs should wait, not people.

> Well that input library is not an issue of the flatpak environment but an issue of the application and/or that library. That error could have easily occured if the application linked an old version of that library and the new version of the daemon was incompatible.

But that wouldn't happen in a distro-packages environment, because the distribution would ensure that everything was built against the same version of the library.

> This is an issue Linux created because everyone makes their own solution and then distro managers will silently patch over the mistakes, so it all kinda works together.

And flatpak is yet another case of that - doing their own incompatible thing instead of fixing what's there already.

> I don't use Hugo, etc, but it seems odd to me that it's not abundantly clear how to nix CDN and Google asset references from the site generation code.

All static site generators do is take a bunch of inputs (markdown files, templates, config, images, etc.) and process them to output a directory of HTML and assets. It's usually trivial to do a search on the input side and identify the source of the problem code. Commenting it out and reprocessing results in it being removed.

You only run into complications when there is some odd dependency between the static site generator and the inputs. Generally, it'll delegate everything to the templates it uses (good separation of concerns), but sometimes there is a weird config option, or convention you are supposed to use.
Yes, economy always evolve and changing.

The new gigs in today era is: make youtube video, game streamer, instagram model, etc. Mind boggling how young people these days can make considerable amount of money out of these.
The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

This seems like a restatement of the explore and exploit cycle in evolution. You start off with very little, so you have nothing to lose by exploring every opportunity. Eventually, one or more of those opportunities pays off, and you become successful. Now the odds favor exploitation, since new opportunities are unlikely to be better than the profitable ones you've already discovered. You're better off leaning into those than you are to go off exploring again. Of course, this also means you could get stuck in a local maximum. But life is finite, and the chances of achieving a higher max are low.

I used to work at Mozilla until recently and what you're talking about is nonsense. The telemetry data is handled extremely carefully. Any downstream use of that data is also carefully managed so that creating re-identifiable data is not possible.

Could Mozilla reidentify people with raw telemetry - sure. Is it easy or done in practice - no. Shut the hell up unless you know better than someone who has handled that data.

Seriously folks - Mozilla has problems - but proper handling of your private data is not one of them.
Thomas Sowell makes an interesting point that very few people stay in the same categories of rich or poor in their lifetimes. Young people make up the majority of the poor, but after working and gaining experience the vast majority move out of that category.

I am pretty sure I am an example of that. Graduated in the dot com bust in 2001 and was unemployed for a year and a half. Apparently my partner and I are now in the top 10% of household earnings for our country. (Household earnings being another very misleading statistic - as people become paid better they move out of shared houses, making things look worse when they are actually getting better).

What's wrong with firejail?
The whole US system considers it OK to use solitary confinement. But solitary confinement is a breech of basic human rights. So every US system is in breech until solitary confinement stops.

The existence of an extradition treaty doesn't mean that UK courts are compelled to extradite anyone until/unless US prisons cease breeching basic human rights.
The point of the comment is that it would take like 3 words to identify what the thing is, so that you could save everybody who doesn't know what it is from having to do a bunch of research to figure out whether it's interesting to them.

It's sloppy writing with no respect for the audience's time.
Dual-license. Set out a commercial option. Once compliance is achieved they are liable for the commercial licensing fees for the period up until that time. It isn't a fine, it isn't damages, it is just the normal cost of doing business.

May the standard licensing costs quite high (but not exorbitant) and state that other terms are available if negotiated before using the software.

If they refuse to pay and the amount is large enough, sell the dept to a collections agency and at least cause some inconvenience (though that last part probably won't work across international borders).

Of course if you don't want financial recompense, and open-source-ness is your only concern, then compliance it the only matter to be concerned about. But some people and commercial entities simply won't respect that up-front (so you'll have to fight for compliance) unless non-compliance has an associated cost.

That's an interesting trade-off. I guess static sites are small enough that downloading an extra script wouldn't be terrible, by modern heavyweight website standards. Still, maybe I should look into what cloudflare CDN actually does with its data.

What is online violence?

Dr. Emma A. Jane, a UNSW Senior Lecturer in the School of the Arts & Media, says online violence can refer to a range of dialogs and acts that occur at the gender, technology and violence nexus.

"Examples of online violence include hate speech, sexually violent dialog, plausible rape and death threats, stalking, large groups attacking individuals, the malicious circulation of targets' personal details online (known as "doxing"), and the uploading of sexually explicit material without the consent of the pictured subject ("revenge porn")," Dr. Jane says.

Static site generators are really useful for ongoing projects with new pages being added all the time. I hand-roll my discrete "here's a page for a thing" sites, and use SSGs for things like blogs, classes, etc., stuff where I might just decide to add a page when I'm sitting on a train, and would like to just be able to type it out in markdown on my phone, push a commit, and have it appear.
Many people seem to moan that Windows 7 is still the best Windows and that macOS has been on a downward trajectory since Snow Leopard, or whatever. Is it so obvious that other OSs are actually advancing and leaving Linux in the dust? For example I don’t find Windows new app packaging and sandboxing (Store apps) to be much of an improvement over anything.

Not quite the same, but reminds me a bit of yup (https://github.com/jquense/yup)!
This depends what "industry" you're talking about.

If you're talking about "tech", I'd say 100ms doesn't matter for the vast majority of use-cases. Bear in mind that Australia/New Zealand have a ~250ms round trip latency to most web services, 4G can easily have a 300ms latency to Google, and developing countries are often in a much worse position. Depending on <100ms for anything is a non-starter for most of the web.

If you're a service provider several layers removed from a human, then there may be enough between you and the user that it's critical that you respond in <100ms, but this is not most of the industry.

More generally, I find this sort of comment to be similar to the sort of comment that asks why anyone would write a web service in a language as slow as Ruby or Python when we have languages like Go and Rust. They ignore the fact that there are huge, successful companies running on Ruby, Python, and other "slow" languages, all for very good reasons.

I think both are problems, because if they remain in the middle-America suburb, salaries are a lot lower. A 25 year old living where they grew up often doesn't earn enough to buy the local house either.
As mentioned, the TLS session is probably not cached yet, following requests should be faster.

However it's possible Citrix is just not as optimized as other providers/services or not support newer protocols like TLS 1.3

However, 100ms doesn't seem critical

There is. Atlassian’s Conflunce can be self-hosted on your own VPS. It is more of a Wiki-like knowledge sharing tool, but it also has collaborative editing modes. It’s definitely no Google Office Suite since there is no support for sheets, but you can share and display them there and auto-upload office-files from the desktop to Confluence.

It’s not perfect but it is an alternative.

Working 60% on two jobs as a consultant is something I’ve seen friends do. What they say is that because they know my friends has two jobs they always have an excuse that is: stressed at the other job. Thing is, they say that to both bosses so whilst they get money for 120% they in reality can go down to 80% working time. They can basically vanish from the earth and get an awh he’s working so much! when they come back.

> Right, but that doesn’t measure how far away from the median the upper and lower clusters are.

Well, it doesn’t particularly matter how far from the upper the median clusters are if their absolute standard of living has improved — and we measure that by accounting for inflation. Regardless of which inflation metric you use (some include housing prices, some don’t), median income has risen.

As for the lower cluster, the most reliable metric to use there is the poverty rate...which has also substantially fallen -> https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1308790816937095169?s=...

You can also look at the historic income trends divided up by quintile -> https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p... (Table H1, All Races, it's an Excel spreadsheet). Inflation adjusted income for the bottom two quintiles have also increased substantially.

> That would be consistent with a hypothesis that real wages have increased for higher earners and decreased for lower earners, right?

No, it would be consistent with a hypothesis that real wages have increased faster for higher earners than for lower earners, but demonstrates no evidence that it has decreased for lower earners.

The empirical results show that real wages increased across all income levels, and between 2014-2019, it actually increased faster for lower earners -> https://www.cbsnews.com/news/low-wage-workers-are-getting-bi...

My own experience of the term's usage is to simply imply that racism is part of a system's inherent structural definition, rather than being purely reliant on individual/group biases.

In particular in Europe, one very simplistic example of this is the systemic intolerance of nomadic peoples. This is not limited to individuals discriminating against nomadic people, but rather that legislation and bureaucratic processes are in place that give inherent preference to those who are not nomadic; most obviously in laws related to property rentals and ownership, but also pervading every form of corporate and public administration.
The problem here is that what everyone recognizes as clocks, you don't. The scientific consensus is elsewhere though. There is no reason to call a clocking pathway anything else if its purpose is to determine after how much time should something happen.

> hiring becoming rife with credentialism

I disagree with this, the profession is becoming more like a real profession instead of a whole bunch of people just slinging code left and right.

The reason programmers make good money is because we're at the beginning of a great profession like lawyers and finance guys did when their professions began.

We will come to a time that the programming career requires certification kinda like nursing, lawyers or finance guys. The question is how strict the certification process will be... will it be like CPAs where you can work in finance and eventually certify or like lawyers where you can't write code professionally without the license.
Try being a human instead, that works well.

Warren Buffet happens to have made a lot of money, but is also unhealthy, unimaginative and quite limited in his understanding of the world.

Why does his advice matter?
TBQH, the "acceptable latency" is whatever is defined in your contract with them.

If the response to that is "there isn't one", well, there's your real problem.
Well, presumably not the old part, unless career progression in the medical space speeds up somehow.
Those kinds of "influencer" gigs are a lottery. Most people do poorly in them, a very small number are very successful. It's like being a band, a few are stars, the rest can't afford to do it as their main job. The amount of money that the most successful can make is not a good indicator of likely income.

They're not what is generally meant by "gig economy" by the way. What is generally meant are precarious jobs with variable shifts, often low paid. Things like Uber driving, minimum-wage jobs delivering food when there's demand, and zero-hour contracts working in shops.
Where I am in the US the average cost of first birth without c-section is ~$8k to the patient. With c-section it's ~$20k to the patient. ~30% of all births where I am are c-sections. These prices do not include any other treatment to the mother or child, only the delivery fee. I assume these prices include medicaid/VA patients as well, but I cannot confirm. Likely that means people not under government insurance are paying more than what I stated, but I'd go with those numbers with a gun to my head.

So, the simple act of having children in my part of the US is quite expensive.
