I thought the same thing, but I found it hard to find views of inside of the apartments I sampled from the article. A lot of the apartment websites just talked about the amenities. Some had a floor plan, but no pictures of what the inside actually looked like. For a $7mil+ condo I was expecting a little more, but I'm also not really the target audience of those condos either
On Linux.

The POSIX threading API accommodates many possible implementations, and so in Linux many of the bits that look expensive (and might be on other systems) are more or less free thanks to futexes, e.g. setting up the mutex in Linux is just allocating an aligned 32-bit value on the heap and setting it to some initialising value, but on some systems it involves an OS system call to get a mutex handle.

This is the true benefit of the futex. The typical scheme for using it looks almost exactly like a well known trick for speeding up conventional mutual exclusion features that have low contention, which you'd see in say BeOS as the Benaphore, or described in several books about high performance programming. But those tricks all imply the expense of first obtaining a handle from the operating system for every such mutex whereas with a futex that part is free and you only talk to the operating system at all once there is contention for it to help you manage.
Wouldn't it make more sense to retire in a place with higher taxes and more services, since your income will probably decline as you stop working and begin living off your savings?
I'm more curious if he was actually studying. A lot of people claim they can study for these absurd amounts of time when the vast majority of it is actually spent staring at a page or even rereading the same page.

Marty Lobdell did a fantastic talk a while back [1] that changed the way I used to study and I'd recommend it to anyone who feels like they aren't studying efficiently.

It's not politically correct nor polite to say this, but Japan's problem is their education and cultural system ingrains subservience to the point that Japanese people are subservient even to injustice. It's not just inefficiency Japanese people put up with, they don't do anything about corrupt and ridiculous politicians having their way through generations. They call it a tradition, but they are just afraid of speaking out because of peer pressure. It's like a mafia system. I know that I sound very broad and generalizing, but those who have lived in Japan for long enough would probably agree with this.

I have used CMake.

I added the dependency by writing about three CMake lines.

And after that, it just works, for years.

I may have to add from 2, to 5 dependencies for a project, instead of the myriad of dependencies in JS. And they don't become obsolete and need an update each week.

It's a difference of some orders of magnitude, both in number and in upgrade frequency. This is a huge part of dependency management for me.

And there are C++ package managers like Conan, which solve your requirement of adding a dependency by just using the command line.

I will probably use Conan if I have to write C++ again.

Oh wow, thanks ive been looking for it for a couple of days.. I had a suspicion I was wrong. Of couse as the button was moved,so my setting of not autoplaying was wiped everywhere making it a bit more confusing.

Been noticing a few suspicious changes recently. making adverts huge and in the place where you hold your phone in portrait. And many ads the skip button doesnt work (not no skip ones).

But then i never know if its me or not as apparently my sanity is unimportant.
I didn't have great luck with Discover Weekly either, but I also suspect that there was a familiarity bias in play -- Apple Music was the first service I paid for, so I stuck with it and found lots of things that I really liked. When I tried Spotify a few months ago for a while, it just didn't feel like it was materially better and I found the UI a little confusing (see: familiarity bias), so there didn't seem to be any reason to switch.

I have a suspicion that if I'd actually paid for Spotify and stuck with it for a few years, though, the reverse would be true. My gut feeling is that these two services just aren't different enough in practice to make switching between them worth it for most users, unless they want a feature in the larger ecosystem (e.g., AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect).

> there's a value to being able to live in single family homes

Of course that's true. Again, my view is that people should be free to build whatever they want. Single-family zoning makes the alternatives illegal, not the other way around! Proponents of single-family zoning get a lot of mileage out of the implication that urbanists want to impose their way of living on everybody else, but the opposite is quite plainly the case. Only one side in this debate wants to encode their preferences in law.

The Amazon river runs through the Amazon... I'm not sure if the land area got the name from the river or the other way around. I see some mention of the company name referring to the river, but I wasn't sure if that was apocryphal, and I always associated the river and land together as part of the same thing. I could be wrong, in which case the company is named after a river, and shares the name with a jungle.

Would it really? I have no idea what the dollar cost of that would be. I can see not wanting to pay for a feature most people wouldn't use, but I certainly think Google could afford it.

The biggest question would be what percent of pictures are loaded now and at what cost?
Relying on personal judgement of a small set of managers is the fastest way to kill any product. Plus, your example isn't really using the process correctly.

Improved feedback rating is a result, not an objective on its own. It could be filed under, say, "improve customer experience with the app". That objective would have many (3-5) results that you track, with improving feedback being just one of them. Others could be improving page load times (as you mentioned), adding critical missing functionality, or whatever else. These results can also be based on subjective opinions, but need to be somewhat measurable (otherwise how do you know whether you made things better?) Ultimately if you made good enough progress in each of these KRs, you can consider the objective achieved.
It kind of makes sense for waiting on a single object, if the program uses it as a replacement for a condition variable. E.g. multiple threads could wait on a shared work queue, and wait on an object to get signaled when work is available. Now ideally just one thread should be woken, but with a bit of imagination and naive coding its easy to imagine someone wakes up a lot of worker threads which then just go to sleep again.

Polarization has nothing to do with the craziness of ideas, but the lack of a middle ground.

Polarization has to do with the clustering of beliefs. If attending BLM protests makes you less likely to attend pro-life protests, that is polarization. The strength of that correlation is the amount of polarization.

Acceptance of Inter-racial marriage is a topic that was once far more polarized. That depolarization is exactly allowed us to make progress on the topic as a society.

Thus polarization inhibits cultural growth and change.

> If Alice values potatoes at 1.01 apples and Bob values apples at 1.01 potatoes, and they trade, maybe they've created 0.01 apples worth of value but they certainly have not created two, they started with two and ended with approximately two. If they change their mind and trade back, they've not created 0.02 apples worth of value, they've revealed that the whole thing was a waste of time.

Selling used goods often leads to valuations like this because human preferences change over time. Consider a used bookstore where people buy books they haven't read before, sell them back when they are done, and then buy some of them yet again much later to reread. The same physical items can trade hands multiple times and keep creating value.

> No, it's the farmer who starts with dirt, water, sunshine and diesel and grows the apples and potatoes who is creating value. "Efficiency of resource allocation" are a lot of big words that do little more than justify the speaker diverting a little of the revenue stream to themselves.

Isn't the farmer just efficiently allocating the solar system's resources? If not apples and potatoes, grass and trees would grow.

If the farmer produces value by directing 1KW/m^2 in a certain way then why can't Jeff Bezos create value by directing a company in a certain way?

I wholeheartedly agree. UML never really lived, and I will say the reason is that it doesn't solve a problem that needs solving.

It's supposed to be a universal (visual) language. Two problems, in the real world the way it was used and, more often than not, misused it was far from universal. I mean that deployment diagram is really kinda of more of an object diagram or class diagram, except for wait why are you using the open arrows there??? What? Guess what? I can draw things in visio too. If I want to describe a sequence, I can draw a timeline or sequence diagram-like without any ritually specialized visual nomenclature. And it would be a lot more universally understood because nobody really knows the fine details of UML in the first place.

The fact that what I mean by arrows and boxes is unique to the situation and not a standard does not in any way reduce my ability to describe and communicate a design with arrows and boxes. Communicating a design via words, language, OR graphics is an art and it is not helped by a crude "universal" visual nomenclature that is in reality widely misused.

Secondly, nomenclature isn't the problem in the first place. Design is. Communication of the design is too. UML is more of a hindrance to these than a benefit. It's like the difference between a fine art portrait and an Identikit in the hands of a random wage slave with bad taste.
You cannot trust the Brazilian government to make this judgement. It is a policy of that government to delay the approval of vaccines as much as possible, as if there was no actual pandemic going on. Other governments around the world have analyzed the vaccine, including Argentina and Mexico, and they're using it without any problems.
A counterpoint - if having style increases the variance of liking the property, then with increased variance, there will be more people who really like the property (and thus be willing to pay more).

Form factor basically same, screen the same, OS the same, yet somehow the qualitative feel changes with the new responsiveness. I don't switch to any Mac other than the M1 now except of necessity because of the instant ability to feel the downgrade.

I've used both on and off, for a couple years each. Ultimately what made me come back to Music was simplicity and ecosystem integration. Big fan of the social features in Spotify though, like the Wrapped "year in review" feature.
One great problem it solves is namespacing all of your styles. I don't have to worry about classname collisions because the bundle handles it all for me. Instead of having one massive global stylesheet, I have a bunch of small, modular stylesheets that fit entirely on my display without scrolling, and I can reason about the output much easier than before.
In my opinion, this is good news.

This is so wrong. The bulk of Accenture revenues don't come from PowerPoint consulting engagements (a typical strategy consulting trope), they have arms that compete with MBB and big for these engagements but these are like 500k-1m in size. The big money comes tech consulting and implementations, this is F500 companies upgrading SAP worldwide or and old non-tech company or government needing at app or moving infra to the cloud, now these engagements are 10-50m+. These are needed every 5-6 years when SAP or Oracle upgrades their ERP. The this is how Accenture is a 100bn company. They don't have the issues of the partnership structure other professional services companies have and are a shareholder darling.

Why does everything related to Japan has to be framed as exotic, ancient and mystical ? I've got a forest of beech trees behind the house with trees that have been shaped into poles for five or six hundred years. We don't call it the 600-year old French technique of growing sticks.

Something to keep in mind regarding the 12" MacBook: In 2012 Intel was telling partners that 10nm would be ready by 2015. In 2014 they pushed this back to 2016. It took until mid-2016 for Intel to admit that it wouldn't be ready by the end of the year. Ice Lake wouldn't end up shipping until late 2019.

It's crazy to think about, Intel 10nm was supposed to be available for the entire butterfly/touchbar era.

So dust kills a keyboard that is an expensive replacement and was such a fail Apple had to replace who knows how many keyboards for free. Epic fail. That's kind of my point.

> Biggest downside is that it got very hot during video calls

Exactly. It was too underpowered. Compare that to the Macbook Air (2010 onwards, not the earlier 2008 model). This was such an awesome machine. Relatively cheap and a good compromise of power and portability. It was actually amazing how good this machine was. For years no Windows hardware could compete with that price and set of features.

But it languished for years when all it needed was more memory and a retina display and instead we got the one-port 12" Macbook abomination. All for the holy grail of thinness.

Design is the art of compromise. The 12" Macbook shows you exactly what happens when you don't compromise.

> I'm guessing that they will probably end up bringing the form factor back with the M1 at some point.

While waiting for a Macbook Air refresh my heart sank as soon as they announced the 12" Macbook. Why? Because I knew there was no room for the (then) 11" and 13" Airs with a 12" SKU. And I was right. That mistake was corrected so I don't see the 12" model coming back anytime soon with the 13" Air here and on M1.

if anything, I think that niche has been filled with the iPad (poorly). I mean there's lots of things I like my iPad for but it's no laptop replacement.
