Maintenance, modifications, and repairs done to old homes are also done to updated building codes.

Trulia is partially measuring the fact that the set of homes that are 2 years old inherently contain ~zero homes that have fallen into disrepair.

Two houses 20 years apart in manufacture date that are similar in overall quality, rather than superficial MLS data, will not have a significant price differential.

Mobile homes are very different in this regard. A 40 year old traditional home may still have a lot of value, partially because they are sold with the land.

It is not uncommon for mobile homes to depreciate like a car, or worse. Perfectly livable but older mobile homes can sell for 4 or even 3 digit prices.
It does look like two phones. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to make it actually two phones (or separate phone-sized devices), so you can use the touchscreen part as a phone, and have the other part be a pluggable keyboard + powerbank.

An email user's viewpoint: pretty emails formatted like web pages (e.g., like what GOG.com sends) may provide a sense of accomplishment to the designer, and their employer a warm, fuzzy, Brand-CompliantTM feeling -- but as a user I kind of like emails that are just... messages. With hyperlinks if it's appropriate. Images aren't always a great idea -- lots of clients block them by default.

Why not have just text in paragraphs with hyperlinks? It'd force you to write good copy, sure, but also it's more likely it'll get read.

A complex layout often detracts from your message. Especially now with web-based clients implementing 'dark mode' and darkening your layouts, meaning you have less control over what the end-user sees.

(Apologies if this is off-topic. I don't mean to denigrate the work designers do, I just feel it's more appropriate on the actual web rather than in email.)
Or a zip-lock bag. Which would also make it waterproof!

I have yet to see an even half working autocorrect on phone (even in English). I'm using Samsung S10P and when typing autocorrect can't correct even a simple 1 character typos (e.g. "cha4acter" or "5ypo"). Also trying to put a cursor in the desired place happens usually only after several tries.
Photon drive is not "thrust without reaction mass", because photons do have mass (they have zero rest mass, but are never at rest). Mass of a photon is, unsurprisingly, E/c^2, where
E=h\omega. If photons had zero mass, they would not have been influenced by gravity, and bending of light by the solar mass has been measured in the beginning of 20th century.
> At least they're not shilling any politics, because that's what they usually do publicly on their real brand accounts.

Labour and union rights is as political as it gets.

Union politics shape the politics and policies of pretty much the entire development world, to the point that it frequently is behind revolutions, regime changes and in some cases even civil wars.

Even the US, whose political regime is openly hostile towards workers and labour rights, already has a fair share of historical events related to union and worker's rights that are critical to its history.
Forget woke BS. How much was wasted on the "forever war" in Iraq and the F35 program over the last 20 years?
That doesn't seem split at all. The vast majority don't seem to want to be in the office everyday. They disregarded those survey results though for their decision.

The vast majority prefer not to come to the office everyday. Google says you can only work from home slightly more than 1 day per month.

If they took the survey into account, it would have been the opposite - you're only required to come into the office 14 days per year.
Many people don't actually have a setup optimized for working at home, or at least didn't for much of the pandemic. Seemed like half of my team had to buy a desk because they didn't have one before the pandemic started. People are working at their kitchen table on a hard chair with their 3 roommates or family members milling about. And a lot of the country has had schools closed or remote for much of the last year, meaning parents are trying to work while trying to watch their kids and make sure they are getting into the right Zoom meetings, doing their schoolwork, etc. No wonder some people are desperate to get back into the office.

But a true work from home setup likely involves having a dedicated home office space, with the right setup. Even now, a lot of people don't have that.
Find a job where you'll spend half of your time on pointless meetings, your wrists will have plenty of time to heal.
Interesting! It would be awesome if anyone would want to expand on this advice (^_^)

I used Swype for a long time and loved it.

Then it was killed, and Android shipped its default keyboard ("gboard") with one that included swiping. I've used it ever since, not thinking about it, but it has never been as good as Swype, and about 20% of my words are errors. I don't think about it much because their autocorrect suggestions are pretty good when you tap on a word, but it really is annoying. Honestly, it's insane that I keep swiping because it would be faster just to type than to swipe and correct every fifth word.

I have now downloaded Swiftkey. We'll see if it's any better. My first gripe is that the backspace key doesn't delete a whole word, which, when you're swiping, seems natural to me (either the whole word is right or it's not), but I'm sure there are settings and improvements I can make as I get used to it.

(Edit: The translate as you type feature is a perhaps-niche but killer feature for me. I often have to write to people in my poor Spanish, and always had to go back and forth between the Translate app and the app I was writing it. Doing it as I type is amazing.)
For the most part I agree, although if I'm going to buy an entire album digitally, I do sometimes just buy the CD and rip it if the price is about the same.

That said, I finally got my music library cleaned up and decided to fill in some holes. But, at that point, I also decided I might as well just use subscription downloads from Apple Music. It's all very mainstream older stuff and if I do decide at some point, I want copies I own I can buy them if I want. But no need to spend the money right now just so I know I own everything.

Yep, I'm in the Astro early bird group, too. Looking forward to trying it out; I haven't used the Gemini or Cosmo, so I ain't really sure what to expect, but it looks nice enough.
Uhhh, that lady's long fingernails using the small keyboard in the promotional video are annoying.
Here are a few that are in the ball park, but mostly lacking the form bit (you have to make your own though most of these offer a way to have a append-only user for the form to act as):

- Directus (https://github.com/directus/directus)

- React Admin (https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin)

- Netlify CMS - a bit off the mark but maybe worth considering (https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms)
If you can't type on an actual keyboard, touchscreen typing is barely a downgrade from hunting and pecking.

If you can type quickly, touchscreen typing is really fucking awful.
As someone who lies in Excel, Outlook and too many different chat apps I think it’s far too useful to have proper formatted text in communications -
Even very simple things like highlighting, tables, screenshots just don’t work or are unclear if you limit yourself to plain text.

You can read around the parallax propeller 2 forums for an idea of what it takes on the low end - they were very open about the process. IIRC they have one guru who does software and Verilog, one who does RTL layout (term?) and the rest are support staff who do other things at the rest of the company most of the time (PCB designer, assembly, sales, HR, etc.)

The raspberry pi pico team also did a good podcast episode talking about this - I think it was a podcast called innovation coffee or something like that. Hosted by a guy from ARM Europe.

The exact opposite for me. Their points are interesting, but to me the format just felt like a very poor attempt at creative writing. The first ~10 tweets convey absolutely no useful information. They only "set the scene".

They were side effects of clubhouse being gated and hip among a certain crowd at the same time.

I have long thumbs so Blackberries were actually a bit too cramped for me to properly enjoy it. Touch typing was still possible, but less comfortable for me than on a side-sliding keyboard like the Droid line had.
The problem isn't that all this happened, or maybe that is the problem, the problem is that the future of Perl was very confusing for a very long time.

Python 3 was announced in 2006, committed to as the future in 2008, and the last significant release of Python 2 was in 2010. There was a hard deprecation deadline of the Python 2 in 2015, which was postponed in 2014 to 2020. It wasn't fantastic and there was some pain and some poor decisions but everybody knew where the language was going and how to stay in front of it.

Perl 6 was announced in 2000 and there were only 2 releases of Perl 5 for 7 years. Then in the 2007-2010 timeframe regular releases of Perl 5 resumed. Eventually everyone kind of realized that Perl6 was DOA as the next major release of Perl, but that process happened gradually over the course of nearly 20 years, by which time most of the rest of the world had written off Perl as a significant entity.
Gmai started with one user and has doubled thirty or so times since then, and can only double a few more times before everyone has an address. Surely the precise limit isn't very interesting when we already know the number of digits.

The original theoretical justification for why the EmDrive was supposed to work was also wrong. The idea was to use a cavity shaped like a truncated cone, such that the forces on the big end and the small end don't precisely cancel. But this neglects the force on the sloping sides, which (of course) balances everything out.

Here's a detailed analysis by Greg Egan showing why the EmDrive would not be theoretically expected to generate any thrust: https://www.gregegan.net/SCIENCE/Cavity/Cavity.html

Proponents tried to hand-wave these arguments away and claim that the EmDrive's empirical results were explained by new, unknown physics.
> Elementary isn't perfect, it has its hang-ups like anything else but it's pretty good, stable, and it's generally a pleasant experience.

I think they have one of the nicest Linux UIs out there; they certainly put a lot of thought into it and I love the aesthetics. But I must admit that both times that I tried out elementary, I switched back to Ubuntu after a few months because I found it annoyingly buggy.
I totally agree.

For example, the number of emails that don't have any form of unsubscribe link at all is shocking. Obviously the service doesn't get a true representation of all types of email but spam emails are a massive pain and a total waste of resource all round.
Sadly the balloon never flew! Project disbanded for other reasons, after we got half the hardware built. Anyway!

One of these days I'm gonna sit down with SatGen and figure out how to make a track that rises to high altitude, then simulate it with gps-sdr-sim and do some ITAR testing. I have a HackRF with a stable enough clock, and I have the shielded test enclosures, I just don't have a good way to generate a track that's not at sea level.

As for your results... Those are some pretty fancy receivers, do I know you as a fellow Galmon contributor? There's an F9P on my windowsill as station #41, and I had an M8U on my desk last week. Each has gotten a fix just fine sitting on the desk, by the way.

In your office I suspect the glass has a low-E coating which is metallic, and effectively forms a skin over the whole building. No explanation for the house though; I see moderately slower TTFF times and sometimes poor C/no stats for certain parts of the sky, but otherwise things work just fine in my house. Is there a way to get a background noise level rating out of these receivers?
In my experience it has worked flawlessly without any manual setup (aside from changing bios sleep mode setting to linux). Worked for my ThinkPad and it has also worked for my older lenovo about two years ago.

How well do Lineage or other custom ROMs work with devices that are not explicitly supported? I've got a Samsung A50 that has the absolute worst UI, even though I loved the UI on my Samsung Note 3. Rather than ditch the perfectly fine hardware, I would like to install a custom ROM on it. However the A50 is not on the list of supported devices.

teh first question I got from one friend who is planning on stopping by the thread when he gets a chance (but I'll ask on his behalf in case he gets busy) is "why not just use moodle?"

It's the most popular open-source LMS out there and "does all the things" (direct quote)

How would your platform differentiate from that one other than charging for hosting? Why not set up a specialized hosting business called "managed moodle" or something and maybe contribute features back to the mothership?

> For english language, swipe typing coupled with autocorrect works astonishingly well.

That's great. Meanwhile text input on phones is astonishingly frustrating in many other languages; for one because we also use english words and expressions in our native language, and this alone will already completely derail >90% of text correction and completion systems. Now add another "smart prediction" layer on top with swipe input and the result switches between "decent" and "totally unusable" from one sentence to the next.

And without swype I find touchscreen-based text input just as frustrating. It's a constant cycle of fixing typos using the worst UI possible. We need a "UI dark pattern from hell" award just so we can give one to the genius who came up with Android's pixel-perfect cursor placement mechanism to select text(which Google, for whatever reason, just refuses to fix in any way).

> I don't think this is quite right, if the Overton window is different then so are the the poles (for any reasonable definition of pole)

Why? In my understanding the overton window is a sliding frame on an axis, so it makes no statement about the axis, only about the position on the axis.

> And to clarify, the main point of the article is that in Japan politics is not organised around how people stand on these moral questions, not that these debates don't happen.

Yes, that is what I have understood from the text, too. I find it hard to believe that there is no ideological consistency there (how are people able to make moral decisions without them, i.e. integrate their behaviour with their sense of identity?), though just as in the west the ideology and the actual political practice can obviously differ widely.
I used Perl on and off for decades. It was fine.

It seemed that Perl allowed me to leverage my existing knowledge of UNIX utilities, regular expressions, etc. So using it wasn't completely like learning a new programming language and a set of libraries at the same time. In other words, the startup cost wasn't all that high.

I agree with comments about doing anything too complex with data structures in Perl. I am sure there are people that easily remember the syntax for returning a reference to a hash of hashes, or whatever. I'm not one of them. Every time I have to work on applications I wrote previously that did this, it's a couple of hours of googling and trying things out in the interpreter.

If I had to write or rewrite a large application today, I'd probably use Python. I learned it fairly well about ten years ago and enjoyed working in the environment.

In my secret inner fantasy world, I'd use Common Lisp exclusively, my colleagues would just agree that it is the best programming language ever, and we'd spend our days sitting in an outside cafe in San Jose, drinking espressos, hacking our .emacs files "for efficiency," and telling stories about how we used to boot computers by first toggling in the boot loader from the front panel.
I had written it this way because the OP had specifically ruled out using Django. Point taken though.

So someone else explained to me that we are all misunderstanding NFTs. They dont relate to ownership or even authenticity. They in theory could do these things, but nothing in the setup explicitly gives any of that right now with any real meaning. Simply, it shows you associated an image/string of text/tweet/whatever to a token with a supply of one. I cant think of a good real world analogy other than that company that used to sell the naming rights to stars. No one recognized their naming claims except for themselves. While I get the people trying to make a quick buck off NFT, "theres a bigger idiot somewhere", let's just stop fooling ourselves that it's any more than that. This makes folks who thought Beanie Babies were a sound, long term investment seem intelligent. If I'm going to invest in a digital currency, EVE ISK has more sound backing than crypto.
