> that you'll need if you're burning a large ISO like recent Windows ones.

I ran into this very issue when trying to make a bootable Windows 10 USB on macOS. No amount of fiddling with dd, unetbootin or Etcher resulted in a bootable USB. Despite being principled about it, I had to admit defeat and just pulled an old <4GB Windows 10 iso and flashed that to the stick.

I know I could have installed Linux through a virtual machine and got it done that way, but that seemed horrible overkill. Oh well.

> I think I know one person in the UK who doesn't drive

I don't drive, I never did (despite having a licence), whatever place I lived in (tiny village, small town, small town in the middle of nothing, small city, big city; detached house, semi-detached-house, flat) but I know I am the odd one. I am definitely not representative, the only thing cases like mine can prove is that it is doable (under some circumstances).

> European car ownership is lower than the US in general but it's a very very far way from zero.

Indeed. Let me pull a few more French statistics for a minute :-)

84% of households own at least 1 car (same ratio for the 25-39 years old, roughly the Gen-Y).

36% own at least 2 cars (40% of the 25-39 years old).

In 1990, when society and activity was already organised the same way as now, every home who needed a car already had one, yet owning rate raised by almost 10% since then, and the share of households who own 2 cars raised almost as much (for 3 cars it raised too).

In just the last 5 years, the number of vehicles raised by 4.5% for cars, 6% for vans, 3% for lorries. Meanwhile, the population only raised by 1%.

The number of vehicles has doubled since I was a kid (1980). Again, I was in the deep country and everyone who needed a car already had one.

1990, 1980, ... We had the largest superstore in Europe (or was it in the World?) a couple dozen miles away, that was already built in the 70s. France was a precursor in large supermarkets. So much for the image of the small village grocery (which exists too, but a large part (70-75%) of the consumption is made in supermarkets and superstores; even though now the largest of the latter decline, the former thrive).

Still somehow beats the places where I lived in Finland where the supermarkets and their car parks are in the centre of towns. In a small town, they actually are the town centre.

I get a lot more done as a knowledge worker than I ever did in college, because in the real world nobody cares if something is a day or three later than the nominal deadline, and “this turned out to be harder than I anticipated” is a legitimate excuse. Consequently I never start the cycle of staying up to meet a deadline and then blowing the next deadline because I was trying to work on it sleep deprived.

This is easy to recognize from outside but at the time I did not really understand the problem, I thought it was just my capability/identity and the inherent difficulty of the work.
That place was awesome and I got some good stuff there, but I always wondered how they made rent for a huge place like that. My hypothesis was that they actually got paid by companies to haul away stuff for recycling, but then instead of recycling it they let it pile up.
I'm pretty sure that I was quite blatantly suggesting that Python fails to meet suitability. That doesn't mean we don't use it...because people like it. But it adds complexity and "business risk", whether you like it or not.

In some spaces (ML) you're going to have to ship some Python, but what I was saying was that I would rather not.

My role the past few years has been some mix of deployment engineering & systems engineering and the conclusion that I quickly came to was that deploying scripting languages like Python/Ruby/etc is the realm of assholes. ...which was a funny lesson because mainly through my career I've worked in smaller scale shops using almost exclusively scripting languages.

Correct. So we're talking about in memory databases like MongoDb, and all of the things I listed here are true about MongoDb. For example, MongoDb migrated their database memory manager away from mmap and towards a custom memory manager (point being that gc and memory management for databases is not something you can just use jvm or operating system constructs for)

Thanks, but these citations don't at all support the GP's sweeping assertion that "Krugman recently came out and said almost all of his advice about globalism was wrong. The man can't be trusted."

Krugman's cited gc.cuny.edu paper is titled, "Globalization: What Did We Miss?" It concludes, not that economists were wrong per se, but that they didn't adequately take into account the pace of globalization: "Basically, the big problem with surging globalization wasn’t so much changing demand for broadly defined factors of production as the disruption caused by rapid change. And that rapid change appears to be largely behind us ...." (Emphasis added.)

The summary in the University of Melbourne piece (the third cite) is to basically the same effect.

"One cannot be ‘fat but healthy’"

> Japan is NOT homogeneous

Japan is more homogeneous from a cultural and ethnic perspective than any other country of that size and population in the entire world. Therefore Japan IS homogeneous.
Progress needs to be made, and sometimes dropping support for stuff you no longer want to spend time supporting makes sense.

That said, I still think situation is mishandled for this reason: py3 is basically another language, similar to py2. Calling it py3 is an exercise in marketing - instead of creating a new language to compete with py2 (along with all similar languages e.g. Julia) the existing py2 community was leveraged/shamed* into supporting the new thing, and most importantly, py2 was killed by it's maintainers (rather than handed off) so it couldn't compete with py3, and so that users would be forced to move somewhere else - py3 being the easiest.

If it had properly been a new language, they could have taken more liberties (compat breaking) to fix issues, like a single official package manager. And migration to py3 would have been more by consent, than by force.

Your link is for GSM and states a 550 meter resolution, but I tried looking up LTE and I think it said 10 meters there.

These days I’m 10kg lighter, not a huge difference, but wow is life a lot easier. I’m also in better cardio shape (more running and hiit, less lifting) and that turns out to be way more useful day to day.

At the time of the referendum, there was [as usual] a massive shortage of UK-based HGV/LGV drivers, 89% of whom were British with an average age of nearly 50, and pay had just gone up 5%.

The only bit that might be dominated by Eastern Europeans is the super long haul trips from Europe that Brexit is significantly reducing...

I do agree that claims about how Britons couldn't get careers in lorry driving due to massive influxes of foreigners probably helped influence the result, but such claims would have been as fundamentally dishonest as the claims about leaving funding the NHS.

"To some on the Right, Japan is a paradise of racial purity..."

Is it now considered a de facto truth that people identifying as "Right" are racists? If not, why bring up the Right in this sentence? When I was growing up, Right overlapped with Conservative, but racists were a discrete group of people.

If Right now means racist, what is the label for someone with the political attributes of Right, but who is not racist?
Some things aren’t expressable in winmd though - like Code Contracts’ preconditions, invariants, and postconditions: those require directly executable (but pure, stateless, and side-effect-free) methods to represent and encode those contracts. As Winmd binaries can’t contain executable code it means you’re limited to only using “common”/“known” contract functions and/or resorting to re-encoding the contract to a string containing the expression that’s stored in an attribute. Good luck with that.
If someone gets into that situation, isn’t this exactly what you’d hope they’d be spending their time doing, for the rest of our sakes?
What a frustrating article.

The first few citations are circular, they link to articles about the book being discussed or the authors of that book.

Where are they getting the “80% of new households ... will be these one to two person households” stat from? No citation, of course, because it’s not true. I won’t be surprised to see that used in future articles and linked back to this interview, however.

The anti-homeownership propaganda seems to be growing with articles trying to tell us “you don’t want to own a home!”. If an ounce of research was conducted it would be clear how many people want out of cities and into homes.

My wife and I are going into the third season of trying to buy a house (SoCal). Every half decent home sells in its first weekend and, in our experience (6 offers), for all cash and over ask. This is the norm in many other areas from what I’ve read.

To me, the real story is “Millennials want to buy homes and start families but the older generations aren’t moving out of the suburbs fast enough”.
Yeah. I live fairly near a fairly small (and admittedly somewhat downscale) city. Even if I lived walking distance from the downtown there which I don't I wouldn't actually shop there. There are a couple bank branches, a travel agency!, a convenience store, a few mostly downscale restaurants, etc. There's very little I would go there far. I'd drive to the local supermarket or Walmart.

I think this article goes through a lot of micro-exercizes and micro-corrections and semantics to avoid the obvious conclusion that Japan is mostly honogenous, and to a far more degree than the US or a lot of European countries.

Counter-examples don't refute a general observation. They can only refute an absolute statement.

But when it comes to actual numbers and breakdowns (which would put a general observation into perspective or prove it wrong) the article is lacking, aside from the 93% which is already large.

Also homogenous is not just race, it's also about culture, language, and so on, and Japan is homogeneous to a whole other level as a national culture. Those Korean-Japanese are no less Japanese culturally and operate entirely within the Japanese system/life.

Not like some large communities create their own enclaves, ghettos with different languages, cultures, etc, as seen in some countries.

The question one should ask is: what $hot_tech can we adopt without the product becoming significantly worse than with $old_tech? That is, which things do we adopt only or mostly to make the project or company attractive to work with or invest in?

Saying “why would you ever do that rather than building the solution the cheapest and with the lowest risk” doesn’t fully appreciate the importance of attractiveness.

I’m selling my hours of work time for a salary, fun, and resume points. My employer pays me in all 3. I’ll always push for $fun_tech or $hot_tech despite it not always being in the short term interest of anyone but myself or my fellow developers. I’ll keep justifying this by “if we do this in $old_tech then me and half the team will leave, and that’s a higher risk than using $new_tech”.

(By tech I here mean things like languages and frameworks not buzzwords like microservices or blockchain, ai... )

I believe that it is best for this kind of automatic binding to expose the raw native types, and not use the language idiomatic ones.

I mean, if you need to use the raw win32 api, there must be a reason you need raw access, and in such a case, conversion to language types is more likely to be a hindrance than help.

Also, if you need to call multiple native apis, it is easier to pass the native types around if the is no conversion to language types.

How to Make It on Instagram
... but still no adblocker for safari
I just wanted to add some additional things:

- from what I see owncloud is now written in go whereas nextcloud is still PHP. That might give it a performance boost on a raspberry pi (it basically avoids all the overhead from reading and byte-compiling all the PHP files on every request)

There are things that you can do to speed up nextcloud though:

- look into php byte-code caching (opcache and stuff like that)

- make sure your database indexes are set up correctly: I can't remember where in the admin ui (I'm on the phone rn) but there's some sort of self-test/diagnostics page that will tell you about database indexes to create (and the SQL commands to run too, iirc)

- you can tell nextcloud to use a redis for caching too, that could give an additional performance boost

But yeah, again, the raspberry pi isn't really that good for this kind of things. For pretty much the same (total!) Price of a RPI and related accessories I'd get something like a Lenovo m93p tiny off eBay and slap an SSD into that. You'd get proper performance albeit with a higher tdp.

I hope this helps :)
