It's relatively new. The basic idea is to bridge the gap between rental and home ownership: you don't need as big a mortgage to buy a share of a property, and you can benefit (proportionately) from any capital gains from the increase in value of the property. In that sense it's potentially more beneficial and opens up access to the property market; in practice it seems to help push up demand and therefore prices.

In recent years it has arguably been too lucrative to be a landlord which has pushed back against home ownership and pushed up values; that's changing a little bit. Shared ownership schemes are a band-aid over a more general problem.

Being able to verify that your program runs on authenticated firmware does not mean you can't modify the firmware or the software running or replace it with something else.

It just means that you can be sure no one else has tampered with your device.

Solar already hit a supply shock this year that has increased the cost of installation (it has been reliably going down before this). Solar growth is expected to be closer to just linear this year. I hope this is temporary due to all the supply shocks going on right now.

Looking longer-term there will be growth slow-down when wind/solar reaches a larger scale due to the intermittent nature of the energy unless we can figure out how to deal with this. Currently dealing with it requires lots of gas peaker plants, hydro (which has its own environmental damages) or batteries (the resources required to produce and continually replace these are not sustainable but hopefully the net carbon emission can stay low). Malaysia recently had to stop incentivizing solar because their grid couldn't handle it.

Don't. Just don't.

I'm assuming that the fundamental flaws* of GoCD haven't been fixed, based on the knowledge that in 2015 they (ThoughtWorks) still hadn't addressed them, and I think 5-6 years isn't long enough for them to be addressed.

*Pipelines, as modeled in GoCD, were so inflexible that any kind of flow resulted in having many, many, pipelines configured. To the point that the number pipelines you operate and maintain is actually the multiple of any fork in logic you need.

I can’t express how useful using Dhall as the configuration format for Spago has been compared to the standard JSON, YAML, or TOML files have been. Having typed configuration with function and can grab environment variables opens a lot of possibilities. One place that has been nice is changing target locale to build with an env var pointing to a different source folder for translations. Overriding packages is just merging two records. Normally this would have to all be handled in a in the build tool or using a non-terminating config language, as a result Spago and PureScript’s package system get to be much simpler.

The fact that Dhall’s aesthetics mirror those of PureScript (including Unicode) is a cherry on top.

It's not "common", but it's becoming increasingly necessary for some as prices rise far beyond what most people can afford, even on a high-interest mortgage. You're far more likely to see it in Central London than anywhere else in the UK, though.

Do people want to do it? No. It's a situation forced on people by property owners and the housing market. "Financial responsibility" can't be everyone's first priority when talking about housing.

SBCL 2.1.5 Released
My pet peeve is that I want a total moratorium on infrastructure improvements inside zone 1-2 at least, maybe further out.

Instead, what would be far better for London, would be a 20 year commitment to running commuter level trains services between a ring of zone 4-5 stations and nearby commuter towns even further out. The reason for such a long commitment would be to allow businesses to trust they can move further out and still have access to a decent talen pool in commutable distance, and for people to be able to trust they can move there. [Ideally I'd like to see a focus on investing in clusters outside of London entirely, like Birmingham, and Leeds-Sheffield-Manchester]

The more that gets invested into the centre, the more traffic it encourages, and it's far more expensive to add capacity in the centre than it would be to encourage businesses and people to move further out.

E.g. I live in Croydon. There's relatively direct train tracks between Croydon and Woking and Guildford and further afield, so in many cases you could create far larger commutable areas without even new track, just a commitment to running services at frequent enough intervals. Instead most times it's faster to go in towards the centre of London first.

Then change planning rules to allow dense housing by default surrounding the immediate station areas but tax underutilised plots heavily coupled with guarantees of pouring money into construction until house prices start sloping downwards.

Currently we're in a situation where the prices are exacerbated by developers just sitting on plots knowing prices will go up, and treating actual construction "just" as a final exit. We need to get to a point where developers lose money unless they build quickly, and where people stop seeing their home as a financial investment.

The explanation in the article (people are moving out of London and seeking bigger properties elsewhere in the country) doesn't match the data (prices are flat in London, up elsewhere, up overall).

A move from the expensive city to cheaper regions would generally decrease house prices: the rise in the regions should be more than offset by the fall in London.

So we have to look further for the reason. Perhaps the move is disproportionately driven by Londoners rich enough to have bought a second home, either temporarily or permanently, so there hasn't been selling pressure in the London market. Perhaps there's a worldwide asset bubble and low interest rates, and Northamptonshire houses are just one small part of that.

They don't mean anything - they're used to show the idea of pouring water 5 times.

Use B grams of beans.

Use W = 3 * B * 5 grams of water

Basic method:

1. Pour 5 times (p0 .. p4) each using 3 * B grams of water.

2. Wait 45 seconds before you pour again.

3. Allow the dripper to keep dripping for 3.5 minutes.

Adjust sweet/acidic taste balance:

p0 - δ grams, p1 + δ grams - sweeter.

p0 + δ grams, p1 - δ grams - more acidic.

Adjust strength by dividing the final 9 * B grams of water differently:

stronger - pour less water more times.

weaker - pour more water less times.

Studio monitors and HiFi equipment seem like different categories and use cases to me. .

Studio monitors can potentially be great hifi speakers, though generally not the other way around.

To get a good sound from studio monitors you need to be positioned well.

Modern studio monitors are often quite the literal opposite of this!

Thanks to the waveguide on the JBL 3-series and 7-series monitors, you get nearly perfectly constant sound over an unbelievably wide 120-degree swath. You won't find anything approaching this in the consumer hi-fi market segment. This is nearly as true for Genelec studio monitors as well. Check the dispersion graphs (the rainbow colored ones) for these models:

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/j...

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/g...

Which makes sense given the use case: you might have a few people sitting at the mixing desk and you'd like them to be hearing the same thing.

HiFi speakers should fill the room

Depending on the size of the room, studio monitors may or may not be able to fulfill this duty well. It does definitely tend to be the achilles heel when you try and use studio monitors for hifi. I've got JBL 306's crossed over to a pair of compact 12" subs in my fairly small music room and and they definitely get way louder than I want or need them too.

The P5 suffer from a disgusting design flaw: Under the magnetically connected ear pads, the headphones have a soft fiber-like material that's glued in. The glue will melt and leak between the contact points in a few months, which will stain white t-shirts etc.:

https://imgur.com/a/W2i0pPa

The importer first claimed they fixed this issue mid-production, they did not. I went through FOUR pairs. Every. Single. Time. the glue melted.

I wrote to B&W about them having a systematic problem in their manufacturing process, they advised me to contact the importer for a replacement pair.

Then came the P5 series 2 which the importer said would fix it. Finally... Except, it did not.

When I contacted the importer about the problem being still present, they flat out refused to replace the headphones, but instead offered a discount for PX headphones. I told them I would've annulled the purchase like the Finnish law allows me, had I been made aware it would never be fixed. I also told me I wouldn't pour another cent in B&W products.

Also I found an entire site dedicated to the design flaw in the PX, which I alas, can't find now.

To conclude: Do NOT buy B&W headphones / consumer loudspeakers. The company does still manufacture high-quality high-end loudspeakers, I've been satisfied with the CM1s and no complaints after 10 years of use.

> Try covering dynamic-sized image with an svg surface.

This isn’t difficult. Two reasonable approaches immediately occur to me on this.

① The traditional one: <div style=position:relative;display:inline-block><img><svg style=position:absolute;inset:0 /></div>

② Using Grid’s ability to put multiple things in the one cell: <div style=display:grid><img style=grid-row:1;grid-column:1><svg style=grid-row:1;grid-column:1 /></div>

> Try outlining a hovered element so that outline/shadow covers other items around.

On hover, ensure it’s on a layer of its own, and if its surrounds are also on layers bump its z-index above theirs. e.g. `:hover { position: relative; z-index: 1 }`. Definitely hacky, but not difficult, unless you want the decoration to render beyond the bounds of a parent element’s layer, such as if it’s in a scrolling area with 0.5em of padding and you want a 1em box-shadow around it—that simply can’t be done, layers are inviolate; but as consolation, other platforms almost certainly have the same limitation.

I suppose this depends on whether UBI is supposed to be a form of welfare, adding a buffer against unemployment, and greasing the wheels of the economy; or if it's supposed to be a star-trekkian form of post-scarcity neo-economy.

Assuming the former; I see a big problem in that the desired outcome: "people gain more bargaining power" as unlikely so long as UBI is only a monetary pay-out.

power is relative. Universal anything can't fix that. It's like saying "everyone should be above average". If everyone got more money, money will just become less valuable. The only effect will be to piss off those with mostly monetary assets (who aren't in a position to sell-off before the change), and increase the value of non-monetary investments.

Instead, the focus should first be on the pinch-points, i.e. the scarce assets that money is intended to buy. Government housing projects, for example: leverage the large amounts of capital the government has by buying large lots of land and rapidly developing it. Create a large supply of basic housing w/ amenities, and allow this to apply market pressure naturally.

AFAIK, this is the kind of approach China is taking: large social projects for core infrastructure, high-speed national railways; entire cities built cheaply from scratch in remote areas. The large amount of capital pays off when these cities develop into more desirable locations, and unemployment/poverty is decreased.

When I lived in the UK last century, there was rampant house price inflation.

It seemed to me to be at least in part due to the bizarre contractual setup where even after a vendor had accepted an offer, they could still pull out and sell to a higher bidder. This led to purchasers paying over the top, just in order to try and prevent someone else "gazumping" them.

Of course we bought at the top of that cycle, and a year later our house was worth only 70% of what we paid for it. 2 of the 4 owners in our little row handed their keys to the bank and abandoned their properties as they were well under water with mortgages of significantly more than their property values.

That scarred me for life and I told plenty of people along the way that prices can go down as well as up.

Though with the benefit of hindsight, that's rare and houses are usually ... as safe as houses.
