It makes sense because houses don’t stay on the market very long.

What matters for average real estate agent wages is average price of real estate time number of houses that sell per month. If the number of houses on the market is small because they sell immediately, that’s it necessarily a problem for them.
The answer is yes. European happiness needs a certain level of prosperity. You only get that with competitive products on the world market. But some parts are still competitive.
It's a damn shame the ticketing / collaboration world is still moving to the cloud. 100% don't want my company's data on someone else's server. I also 100% don't want to have to use Remedy ever again
I really wish this graph included individual EU countries because the vaccination strategy is specific per country
We want to increase both features and usability. It is easier to make something with few features easier to use but we think we can drive both at the same time. For usability we use the System Usability Scale https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/ux/performance... and increasing it is a target for this quarter "CEO KR: Achieve System Usability (SUS) target of 75. Issue 10314" https://about.gitlab.com/company/okrs/fy22-q1/

I agree with that assessment. People have always refused to deal with some other people, and have always tried to get others to follow them in such matters. I don't think anything new or different is going on.
The US imposes limits of practitioners to keep income high.
Microsoft still is the main company pushing it hard (C++ use) despite all security reports, most likely due to how the Windows and Office teams don't accept anything else.

So basically you have the DevTools and Azure teams pushing for .NET, Java and other safer languages, while Azure Sphere has a C only SDK and WinUI/UWP push C++ above anything else, with some C++ only APIs.

Politics.
The USG is paying SpaceX less than their (older, better connected) domestic competitors. Usually substantially less.

Arianespace gets large direct subsidies, in addition to being paid more per launch by European governments (and commercial customers) than SpaceX.

The subsidies talking point is dumb and needs to die, but I guess it's easier to try to deflect blame than, you know, compete.
> So if the government pays for you to build out your infrastructure you then own and use to secure other contracts ... isn't that a subsidy?

The other contracts are key here. It's very unlikely that the vertical integration facility will be used for anything else than US government missions, as vertical integration is basically only useful for spy satellites. Without more details it's hard to judge whether the same is true for the West Coast upgrades and extended fairing, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see those only being used for government contracts.
I think you typo'ed your plugged domain name. :)
In my experience, "Google Instant Answers" are more often than not factually incorrect. It makes me queasy every time I see that... it speaks volumes that's so much more important to them that they keep you on the page that they'd rather give you wrong information than let you go.
Cars last a lot longer than they used to, so your entire premise is flawed.
You don't need AI technology to make a successful cartoon.
Except "retirement" simply means "not having to work to survive". It doesn't mean doing nothing, it means having the freedom to choose to do things that are meaningful to you.
Stallman said pedophilia is "illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness".[1] He must have meant the act because the paraphilia isn't illegal. He dismissed people who believe children can't consent as "parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing".[2] He didn't mean adolescents.[3]

Having sex with a child is an offense in most countries.[4] Offender means someone who commits an offense.

Google doesn’t want people to find alternative sources for news, healthcare, and politics. They now force all the mainstream sources to the top, regardless of whether the search terms entered have any relation to the actual results. And this seems to have carried over to other subjects as well, because I can never find obscure pages any more.

This should destroy Google, but for some reason it doesn’t, and it baffles me that they are still surviving in this.
Basically, GPLv3 has a requirement that you need provide your users instructions for modifying/replacing any GPLv3 software that ships on a device that you sell. That means, in essence, that your users need to be allowed to install modified versions of any GPLv3 software.

As a consequence of this, you can't have signed/encrypted firmware unless you provide your users with the private-keys.

You also basically can't stop people from inspecting/modifying any secret-sauce parts of your design, at least not without jumping through an awful lot of hoops. Because if your users must be allowed to install a modified version of Bash (for example), then all bets are off for what they'd insert to get access to the rest of your filesystem.

Lots of companies have IP that they want to protect. Maybe it's DSP modelling plugins that your engineers wrote. Maybe it's programs that access private APIs on the company servers. Maybe there's shared firmware across products in a feature-differentiated product family. Maybe there's a legal requirement that customers can't modify your firmware, for something like FCC or FAA compliance. None of these kinds of models are feasible if your users can modify your rootfs. So in essence, it means your product can't include GPLv3 software if you also want to ship IP that you need to protect.

When GPLv3 was released, the FSF basically pushed it onto every GNU package. Which they could do, as owners of the copyright on all code in all GNU-managed projects. So that means bash, coreutils, make, bc, find, grep, sed, gawk, libtool, gpg, gzip, tar, wget, etc. And also more subtle items like readline, which finds its way as a dependency into all kinds of things. This essentially meant that all of it became verboten for lots of developers to include in their products, forcing them to move to alternatives like Busybox.
> every search I've done today produced the result I wanted on the first page of the results, above the fold.

Same for me, but that's because I just stopped searching for things that I know will not give me good quality results as they used to be circa pre-2010 back when search tools like +, -, and "" still worked and the results weren't filled with generated SEO texts.
Kudos to people who go FIRE without state-provided healthcare - from a "typical brainwashed Canadian" POV you're one health mishap / one ambulance-ride's worth of unexpected medical costs to kill the entire dream.

Also - no kids - huge variable for FIRE obviously, but perhaps less obviously ALSO a huge variable for life's purpose.

Something I've seen in my friend and family group is that a lot of couples hit a point where the answer to the "what's the point of all this?" is to create a family. Sorry if that sounded crushingly heteronormative - but this also includes gay folks in our life.

Not suggesting that everyone should have kids, or that the childfree people are somehow bad, or even that it's not a rational choice to go childfree. All good to those thinking that way.

But. If your conclusion is that love and connection is what life is all about (assume Maslow's lower levels are covered), then having children is possibly the magical thing missing. Not necessarily for everyone. But it's a game-changer for many of us and provides some incredible direction and purpose (as well as very low low's and constant anxieties).

Having children also can change your priorities in how you spend your own life. For me personally, I'd want my children to see me working hard at something; having adventures; building things; changing things for the better. All of that can happen inside the typical FIRE life. But as he points out, your life gradually disconnects from things if you're truly independent and separate. And unless your wealth is large enough that your children will also be FIRE, you really want them to learn from you in how to navigate "the typical world" of jobs, managing finances, etc.
A surprising fact I just learned about float parsing is that it is absolutely trivial (and, I expect, very fast) if you are willing to tolerate a 1 ULP inaccuracy: https://www.exploringbinary.com/quick-and-dirty-decimal-to-f...

(Though 1/100M randomly tested conversions had a 14ULP inaccuracy, so I guess the inaccuracy is a bit unpredictable).
I've noticed that many of the linux repos are not up to date. If you're using those, you probably need to install it directly from the website to get the latest version and see the updates.

The major features that have come out lately that I've noticed are first-party calendar integration and first-party GPG support. There was a calendar integration but I always found it to be a bit funny and hard to get working all of the way. I never had problems with Enigmail, however.

Both features work much more solidly as an included part of Thunderbird. There are other, smaller features that have come in like having e-mail addresses in the To/CC/BCC lines be places into ovals to show them as a distinct, drag-able element.

The Thunderbird codebase is old and is full of a ton of features, transforming it in a way that is true to its past and moves towards a better future is going to take time but it is coming along. Sure, some of the major features were available as plug-ins but they're much more solid now that they're built-in.
They can also be compiled to native code and as such it is a plain language runtime, just like Go.
That's basically a degenerate form of capability-based security. Sharing the referrer header is delegating access rights. Of course, that's not actually a property you want in this case.

If we thought like you, we would all be living in mud huts because fair is fair and nobody is allowed to have more than anyone else. Having a reward system for people who move production and efficiency forward to provide goods and services for everyone else is how humanity advances. Life is not completely fair but its the best system we have.
I just (this weekend) negotiated a 4% commission with a realtor for a property I’m selling. The deal is that they’ll keep it in the brokerage and not have to split the fee with another brokerage (which is the usual arrangement; 6% split half and half between brokerages, with the realtors on both sides getting half of that split). Market is hot enough I’m satisfied I’ll get top dollar even with a smaller pool of potential buyers (cash deals over list market).

With that said, my realtor in this market has been doing RE for decades and has a proven record of delivering.
Everyone has a credit score that can go down. (Is there a floor?) A record of a rent lawsuit is no good for anyone. I often wonder how people on the verge of eviction think about this kind of thing — whether it is salient or even understandable.
Yes this is correct, I'm guilty of oversimplifying.
A 9V battery is enough to deliver a lethal current under the right conditions. Don't play with electricity unless you know what you are doing.
Large aerospace companies are constantly working on modifications, repairs, upkeep that all require significant analysis. For a commercial jet, something like a truck driving into a jet engine nacelle might entail significant engineers' time (CFD, FEA etc.) because the safety margins for aircraft are so small. The results might be a once off-repair, or it might lead to a redesigned part that is put into production. It's usually not that interesting to the public though.

- Worked at one, know others still there. Truck example is real.

Depends on your state. Here, small claims is limited to $25,000 with no limit for eviction suits.
Type confusion and memory lifecycle flaws are probably the dominant source of exploitable vulnerabilities at this point. I'm surprised to see it suggested that Zig is weak to them.
Ah yes. Elgato Key Lights.

Let's be thankful that they are, in fact, using ESP32 for a central control chip and use a very simple REST protocol. It could be a lot worse, a lot more proprietary.

These are simple devices, but expensive as far as lights go. You can very easily get dumb lights that have only physical controls. For a lot cheaper too.
No, not at all, my parents did their part. The frustration comes from seeing this money drain that creates an inequality where there's no good reason to be there. Just to be clear, I don't argue that people shouldn't inherit properties, that's just came out against the argument that "everyone pays for housing", which is clearly not the case.

Most of the time rent is money siphoned to unproductive people. I wouldn't care if it was optional like having a car or affordable like not effectively moving you between income groups.
I personally don't care about Rust at all, I already have C++ for that. But I'm very interested in Zig.
There is simply no way to get to the same product in 3 months. There is a lot of business complexity that has been worked out over years of iterations and experience.
I agree. I would love to know the specifics of any country in detail. Or a least a deeper understanding of medicine distribution in the EU. Any chance someome can explain and talk about it?

It really wouldn't. The biggest impact to his finances was not his health costs, it was the separation from his partner.

It's a lot cheaper for two people to live together, than it is for two people to live apart.

Either way, FIRE on a million dollars, even in a lower-COL state is... A bit optimistic, because of short-term market fluctuations having the potential to coincide with surprise expenses.
As a user? sure.

People who create and curate content quite often want to be paid for their work, they create businesses to support themselves, often in the form of a website. If Google scrapes and repackages that content, so the searcher never even visits the creator's site, what incentive does the creator have to continue making content freely available?
I did something similar for a customer of ours who was a major UK cinema chain - they had had a falling out with some small company that had built an online booking system.

Highlights:

1 Bookings where made at individual cinemas

2 The network was a packet radio system that blocked :-) only Transaction could be in flight (Leicester square had two channels)

3 Core of system was Perl running on three windows NT machines which manipulated a shonky screen based system (Pacer Cats)

4 Trying to sell tickets online for Phantom menace system crashed at midnight (when tickets went on sale) we made 1 transaction at 6am

% And no credentials so I had to research how to crack NT - I did consider setting up or fleet of a dozen or so of our suns as a cluster to crack NT, but not sure if the internal security would have liked that (aka secret squirrels and the bit that Bruce Shenier worked for
On https://gitlab.com/help I see 13.11.0-pre as the version.

Maybe you're working on a self-managed version that still needs to be updated?
Seems trivial to add a version field to the root object if they ever go down that route.

I haven't had any older yamls break and I wouldn't say the yaml schema is worse off because of backwards compatibility. Not sure a version would change much atm.
It's not that google isn't capable of providing much better search. It's that they are driven by interests other than the users actually doing the search. Google has some of the most advanced tech and engineers in the world. But they also have an endless list of issues they must address - no facial recognition, no racial bias, no sexual content, filtering specific politics, supporting partners, etc.
It’s hard to see how this isn’t anticompetitive. Using their market power in search to show their own ads but prevent anyone navigating to view any others seems like something that should end up in court.
The evolutionary history of a snake through its markings
For pretty much any product or review related search I just do "<product name> reddit" and then scour the somewhat up voted posts for information. Have to deal with tons of dead links though for any post older than a couple of years. The Web really seems like it's an awful place. The original dream of hyper links is really dead. It's all about jumping from walled garden to walled garden through tricks and luck.
Before we had digital cameras, anyone could manipulate images in a darkroom. We did it in high school, it's not hard. The world didn't end with this disinformation, we just labeled the moon landing deniers as conspiracy theorists and moved on with our lives.
I lost about 20 pounds since the start of the pandemic. The biggest change I noticed was that I stopped over eating at lunch. Since I am home and there are plenty of snacks (both healthy and not) I don't feel any need to eat too much at lunch, since I can always get a snack. Of course I don't usually end up getting a snack - I ate enough anyway.
I have "retired" from work several times in my life, starting in my mid twenties, and then again in my late thirties ... and most recently in my mid forties.

Each time I return to work. But each time it was for different reasons.

I most recently left "retirement" to start a company. I don't need more money, but work keeps me sharp. My father retired in his sixties and immediately declined. I don't want to be like my dad.
> Without major platform overhauls, the creator’s gold rush will come to an end

It seems natural for a 'gold rush' to come to an end.

I don't agree with platforms taking an excessive cut of the value of content that's produced.

I also don't consider the value of the content to be dollars. If we have sufficient UBI, then the value in any content produced is that people watched it with interest and learned or was entertained by it. That's the metric we should optimize for, in the long run.
What can a politician even say to appear abhorrent to his tribe?
All of my Google searches have now ended. I use DuckDuckGo exclusively, and while there was a time when I used to add !g to about every tenth search, I have not felt that need more than about once a week for several months now. DuckDuckGo is simply enough improved, and Google enough worsened, that it's not worth it anymore. From my point of view, Google has blown the vast advantage they had, and is now second-best.
Agreed, there's a lot of potential for Web export across all engines. This was one thing Flash did really well back in the day but now JS + Webgl can surpass that as long as creatives are given a nice tool to create with it.

Unity's WebGL export is a good start too but the bundle size is huge (they did release a leaner, pared down version but it's still got a ways to go in terms of load speed).
I think the author is going to require expensive care on a yearly basis for the rest of their life. if you can't absorb $8550 one time, yeah you're definitely not FI. but if you end up maxing out your out-of-pocket every year until you die, that is really going to mess with a $30k/yr spending target.
It is amusing to me because last time I was using C, the problems rust solves weren't the problems I had in C.

Deeply embedded code doesn't use malloc, doesn't use threading.

I could use a better type system, ala Ada, being able to say "this variable is of type distance in meters, this variable is of type time in milliseconds", that'd have cut the # of bugs by a huge amount.

But simple, unsexy, type system changes like that aren't what language designers are focused on.

Who here has never confused Milliseconds and Seconds when passing a variable around? Trivial for a compiler to catch with a half decent type system, but few modern languages bother to try.

Even when writing modern code in newer languages, I rarely directly use threads, and if I need to pass data between them 95% of the time I can get away just doing a deep copy to avoid the hassles of sharing data between threads!

Obviously Rust is meant solving different problems than the ones I face, I have friends who frequently write highly threaded code, but in my day to day, Rust doesn't offer much more safety.

(However, Zig does look super cool and interesting!)
Raspberry Pi 4 bare metal gaming
I am working on a gaming console based on the raspberry pi 4.
I am doing everything myself from scratch. No operating system. Still, I got graphics with VSYNC, audio over HDMI and user input.
My situation, as someone attempting financial independence: I don't mind work, what I mind is someone else telling me what I have to work on and when it needs to be done. FI will put the ball in my court. Once I have enough passive income to cover my family's living expenses, _I_ get to choose what I work on, even if it makes little to no money. But of course I will sometimes choose to work on things that will generate significant chunks of money.
Article says clicks to other Google properties don't count as clicks. I would be curious how many searches end up in a click to YouTube. I know my fraction has gone up over time as it's more likely someone has put up a video about some finer point of one of my hobbies than it is they post a blog. At least in these cases the content creator can often still monetize these searches.
These scans don't look any higher quality than what you can get with FaceId or lidar on the iPad Pro. It's a product from 2015 so I guess it could have made sense back then.
My somewhat educated guess is that these farmers in the PNW don't share the same politics as farmers in the rural south or midwest

When you say it's an "educated" guess, educated how? It only seems to reflect the usual bigotry that comes out of the coasts.

polling shows farmers are overwhelmingly Republican who tend also tend to hate immigration legal or not

If you're going to make a statement that sweeping, you really should back it up with credible sources.

IMO Google Image search has gone down hill significantly too. Getting full pages of pinterest results was bad enough but now on my phone you have to scroll past multiple screens worth of Google Shopping ads or images tagged with the "Product" icon before you see any actual, organic photos of the thing you're looking for.

Not sure why you feel that added features result in "bloat". We've been on Gitlab for 4 years now, and our core workflow not only hasn't changed, but also has not been impacted by any of the new features. On the other hand, we've expanded our usage beyond it, and it's always nice to need a feature and find out that it is right there under a menu and just needs some configuration to get it to work.
Flatpak sandboxes are security theater. The goal of the sandbox is fantastic. But until apps are actually sandboxed they shouldn't call it a sandbox. "Trivially bypass-able security is better than no security" is just a bad thing to have to say to defend something.
