I mentioned "github actions" for a reason. You give up lots of control when you use them. In exchange, you get "crowd immunity" -- the hope that if there is a vulnerability, it will affect so many people that (1) you are not going to be the easiest target and (2) someone, somewhere will notice it.

Your build actions happen all in the docker images/ephemeral VMs. You use images directly distributed by the corresponding project, for example you may start directly from Canonical's Ubuntu image. The "runners" are provided by Github, and managed by Microsoft's security team as well. The only thing that you actually control is a 50-line YAML file in your git repo, and people will look at it any time they want to add a new feature.

Yes, the if someone hacks Microsoft's ops people, they can totally mess up my day. But would they? Every usage of zero-day carries some risk, so if attackers do get access to those systems, they'll much likely to go for some sort of high-value, easy-money target like cryptocurrency exchanges. Plus, I am pretty sure that Microsoft actually has solid security practices, like automatic deployments, 2FA everywhere, logging, auditing, etc... They are not going to have a file on CI/CD machine that is different from one in Git, like OP's system did!

there are several other extremely informative videos about housing in Japan on this channel. all are worth watching no matter your interest in Japan.
Is it possible to achieve Japan's housing statistical success without adopting its misery as well? Everything is cramped and poorly insulated. I don't know more than a handful of people who spent time living there but all of them said the accommodations were a definite low point of the experience.

Interesting, yeah those are good points. I can certainly see it reducing the severity of disputes in theory.

In practice though I'm skeptical. I've read a little about the history of UAW. They really seemed to view workers vs mgmt as an adversarial zero sum game. Meanwhile Toyota were developing their production system using the kaizen principle of bottom up continuous improvement. Unions played a huge role in making US autos uncompetitive against the Japanese brands for a long time.

I want to be pro-union but it's hard when you observe their real world behaviour. All too often they slowly strangle their company, making it less and less competitive and innovative and ultimately dooming it to defeat by new entrants who aren't yet encumbered by unions.
Just imagining trying to “flip” through a notebook of e-ink pages notes puts me off immediately. Doing so in a kindle, or even a PDF on my computer, is unpleasant. Have they a solution to this in the e-ink notebook?

Strong coastal city bias in your post. Most places outside major cities have very affordable housing, especially given today’s interest rates.

What you mean is that people should live wherever they want and others should foot the bill for them living in desirable areas.

You can find out that this is a false equivalency in DSM IV. Spectrum individuals struggle with certain executive functions, and performance reviews align incredibly well with those metrics.

You've claimed the anagolous equivalent of "everyone gets tired climbing stairs, paraplegics are no different."

I hate to tu quoque, but I'm one of those individuals and I do struggle with performance reviews - as would most (not all) adult diagnosed individuals. Literally page 5 of my AS/HFA workbook. I'm lucky to be managed by someone who gives me qualitative reviews, instead of quantitative ones.

There are national nonprofits that acquire, manage and develop property for affordable housing[1]:

We participate in the development, preservation, management and/or financing of affordable, program-enriched housing across the country. We acquire and renovate existing housing, as well as develop new affordable rental properties.

Here's who they help[2]. Perhaps you can donate or sell property to them.

If the feds said only 1 mortgage per household. And no federal mortgages for rentals, period. Then remove 1031b exchanges. The housing market would tank.

Unions advocate for workers, not management. It's normal for management to not want unions.
S3 has been around for a long time and they had a lot of objects to transition when they upgraded, so I imagine that is why it took awhile.

There are other object storage systems that have strong consistency guarantees that came out after S3.

It greatly simplifies things that an object written to S3 it is immutable.

On a high level, all writes to your storage use some UUID. All reads use a consistent metadata storage (pick a modern database). After your write is complete and you are sure it is persisted, do the metadata update and return success. Everyone gets a consistent view of the operation.
Stuck in Suez: Thousands of Animals Packed Tight in Ship Hulls
I think about this a lot with regards to learning to program. I learned to program as a kid in early 90s, with no internet. I had a bunch of books I got from the library, and figuring things out meant looking in the index of a bunch of books to find the topic. I ended up making up my own version of a lot of fundamental programming things because I didn’t happen to read the chapter that had that bit, so I needed to solve it myself.

I used to be really nostalgic about this, and worried that “kids these days” never get that experience of having to figure something out entirely on your own.

Now I have started to think kids can do so much more and learn so much more these days. I could have learned so much with the effort I had to put in to learn the basics. I could know so much more than I do now if I had the internet as a kid!
Vercel is my go-to.
It really is kind of.. nice.. to see that so many of you had the same kind of childhood experiences I did in regards to these books.

A lot of what many of you are saying is permanently engraved in my mind. You'd think that childhood experiences like this wouldn't really stick with you, but many of these books are just permanently glued into my psyche.

It's good to see you enjoyed them much as I did, and hopefully generations long after ours will be able to as well.
At the very least a comparison to Germany or other highly industrialized wealthy Western countries might be more apt.
I agree with the sentiment but disagree with the 2 house limit. For example a family holiday house should be ok. I would put the limit around 10 homes, and if any are rentals then any capital gains should be taxed more harshly unless sold to someone who will owner occupy for at least say 3 years. Yes I’m sure there are loopholes in what I’m describing but it’s the general concept I’m trying to show.
You don’t want to hire boring bot-like people, but you also don’t want a totally subjective hiring system full of bias. I think having an objective scoring of some sort is a good reference even if it’s not the final decision.

Actually transshipping at sea is petty hard - wave action will impact ships differently and could effectively grind them together, not only ruining your positioning to safely move cargo between ships but also might damage the ships themselves, especially if one of them is significantly bigger than the other.

Nothing like this in a free fall environment, so this should be much easier to do in space. As long as there is no atmosphere and the shipscare not insanely big (too many km) or gravity gradient not insanely high (netron stars, etc.).

The only places I've lived as an adult are rural Utah and rural Illinois. The affordability issue in Illinois is soaring property taxes pricing people out. Valuations in Utah are growing at an insane rate at the moment. I bought a duplex just a couple years ago for $270k. I could sell it today for just about double that.

Honestly, when I look back at my childhood, I think most of the kids I knew were at least moderately irrational.

Irrational, prone to crumbling under peer pressure, struggling to find a way in a world they didn't understand well, and prone to random acts both good and bad..
> There absolutely is no affordability crisis.

Even with a very generous look at the general price index for homes, it is going up at a much higher rate than inflation. There's a reason that younger generations are buying homes at a much lower rate. The idea that there is no affordability issue just isn't rooted in reality.

> You don't have a right to move to a place and demand they tear down their homes so you can jam yourself in with others in a flat.

I'm not demanding that anyone tear down their homes. I think that if someone voluntarily sells their property to someone new, and that new person wishes to build a new construction on that property, they should be able to. It is a very new historical phenomenon that doing so (voluntarily building on your own land, not demanding that others tear down their homes) is difficult in major urban areas - that has not historically been the case.

It's pretty ridiculous to demand that people who "got there first" get to demand restrictions on how the "newcomers" get to use their legally acquired property.
You pretty much did say that anything above 30% concentration would destroy any gas turbine, nevermind this whole goalpost moving argument of "current gas turbine already in existence." Like I said, it's time to admit you were wrong, assuming you are capable of that at all.
Without landlords, how would I be able to rent a house? Would I have to get loans whenever I moved, even if temporarily? All that would do is replace a mix of landlords and bankers with bankers. Renting money to buy something that you later sell to return the money is the same as renting the thing directly, except you're dealing with a huge bank instead of a midsize management company / wealthy owner-manager.
No it’s not, by definition. Finding the truth is not always easy or clear cut, however.
> Canned jam is never refrigerated, but once opened it always is, and I'm sure that's the case everywhere.

Not in Ireland. Jam lasts a very long time unrefrigetated. All that sugar is a preservative. Works the same way as salting a ham. Anything that tries to grow on it gets dried out and dies.
Not my experience. Standard japanese apartments are cheaply constructed, cramped and often unheated. Definitely a lower standard of living.
I read the Beezus as a Kid, but only had glimpses of memories of the books until I bought the collection on Audible a few years ago to listen to with the family on a long drive. We kept listening long after the trip. The books are true family entertainment, and it is remarkable to look at the timeline between them. One every few or so for decades, and yet they flow smoothly together, never quite bound by time or place.

Wonderful that she could live such a long and impactful life.
My thoughts:

First of all, the third column here is highly editorialised. If you have a look at anything related to languages, he always lists Erlang, Oz, Prolog -- I wonder why? I won't go into a diatribe on this-or-that nonsense but it would be fairer to talk about languages by their capabilities i.e. either include more languages like Ocaml (which is my hill to die on for "high-society" languages) or just say "has pattern-matching and concurrency primitives".

As for the Systems Programming section, does he really think that knowing how a compiler works is a system-related topic?? and why is that level 1? shouldn't the first level be understanding things like system calls, filesystems, drivers, kernel operation? processes? etc. Once again I think this matrix has been constructed with little consultation from domain experts for that area.

I agree for the most part with the criteria for programming itself, but I need to nitpick at the claims about using IDEs. Why is "written a custom macro" a tier-3 requirement for IDE proficiency? wouldn't it be more reasonable to say "has written a plugin"? and moreover what does this really have to do with programmer competency? a beginner could write a macro or plugin for VS Code for example. Therefore I don't think it's a good marker.

I guess like most discussions on programming, it is about 60:40 in terms of objectiveness. The remaining 40% is largely grounded in the author's personal experiences and you can tell that he had trouble deciding what the top-tier programmers would be capable of, preferring largely complexity-increasing exercises instead of complexity-reducing tasks. And for me the latter is the sign of an expert.
Hooked: This is Your Brain on Junk Food
That's ridiculous, limiting people to owning one house wouldn't be nearly enough homes.

But, let's say that were the case, somehow. Why is your solution to stop people from owning more homes, rather than letting more homes be built? Why choose austerity over abundance?

There's a clear reason to choose austerity: it always, literally always, privileges existing power over those with less. However, most people who want to entrench existing power and oppress those with less don't admit it openly, instead they couch this undesirable anti-egalitarianism in obscure arguments to hide their true motives.

This is the stage we are at in California. People who have gained enormous real estate wealth through luck, which has let them exploit an entire class of extremely productive workers, know they can not create abundance on their own, but must instead farm workers like cattle. So they embrace this austerity couched in other terms.

Limiting people from owning more than one home will not actually produce enough for everyone that wants to live in highly desirable areas. But forwarding unworkable proposals will continue to create luxury goods (housing near food jobs) as luxury, rather than opening them up to more people.

I think we'd need to be able to spin up grow lights and materials for DIY greenhouses (pipe and plastic, at least) in large volumes. Otherwise, yeah, pointless trying to grow at home when the sun is obscured.

I find that the garden is a good way to complement things you're already making. Start with a staple (cheap and long shelf life) and add garden things to make it more interesting. I don't have chickens, but getting 10 eggs daily wouldn't hurt in terms of making frittata and so on. You need a lot of time and space to otherwise live off just a vegetable garden. I have a dozen chilli plants and single-handedly (wife and kids don't like chilli) eat myself out of stock just using small chillis in rice or similar.

My server, my rules.
A lot of what makes US real estate a "good investment" is that powerful interests protect their investment by reducing to allow more productive use of a scarce resource.

This is explicitly cited in the private equity SEC filings that buy single family homes and rent them out: the PE forms know that rents will continue to rise because existing homeowners control the political process that would prevent that rise: allowing more housing.

This is classic economic rentierism that harms everyone that is not profiting from the artificial scarcity.

Funny, the first hit for that search you linked is... my comment above. The "few things" other than that are for alternatives to PKIX, which is fine and good, but PKIX will be with us for a long time yet. As for Everest, it jives with what I wrote above, that verified implementations of TLS are feasible (Everest also implements QUIC and similar), but -surprise!- not listed is PKIX.

I know, it sounds crazy, really crazy, but PKIX is much bigger than TLS. It's big. It's just big.

The crypto, you can verify. The session and presentation layers, you can verify. Heck, maybe you can verify your app. PKIX implementations of course can be verified in principle, but in fact it would require a serious amount of resources -- it would be really expensive. I hope someone does it, to be sure.

I suppose the first step would be to come up with a small profile of PKIX that's just enough for the WebPKI. Though don't be fooled, that's not really enough because people do use "mTLS" and they do use PKINIT, and they do use IPsec (mostly just for remote access) with user certificates, and DoD has special needs and they're not the only ones. But a small profile would be a start -- a formal specification for that is within the realm of the achievable in reasonably short order, though still, it's not small.
SV salaries really have gone to people's heads

I make slightly over $200k and I cannot afford to buy an average house ($1.3M) where currently live (Santa Barbara). I've considered moving to San Diego, but the prices are about the same there. So clearly my income is inadequate, and I'm not even talking about Silicon Volley. I don't see why I should be lowering my salary expectations.

> Why not just create buildings designed to last hundreds of years instead?

Because no one can anticipate if the land a home is built on will be valuable in some exact moment in the future.

For example, should we build durable homes in Miami at all? There is sunny day flooding in North Beach right now.

And yet. A part of town literally not habitable in the far future, but still, its prices are high.

If you're so confident you know what land is going to be worth, go buy it.

I remember "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" well. That specific book started me on a life long reading journey. My elementary had a reading contest every year, and by the middle of 3rd grade I'd read everything Beverly Clearly wrote. Decades later reading them again to a niece, the memories were so strong I could put down the book and quote dialog exchanges from triggered memory. Damn she was a great writer.
