There's currently a vast number of people renting who are not "choosing" not to own. Many of them want to own, but lament that no matter how hard they work, prices are out of reach and rising faster than they can ever hope to save.

Some pray for a price crash, after they saved for a mortgage deposit but prices went up so it's not enough any more. Meanwhile rent is a substantial part of their income, and often costs more than a mortgage for the same property would, so they would choose a mortgage if they could, but can't get one.

Many of them live in poor quality conditions too, unable to improve or repair the property they are in, and at constant threat of eviction on the landlord's whim, and face difficulties finding a similar place to rent when it happens.

For most of them, the work they are skilled in either cannot be done remotely, or is low paid work (eg remote call centre worker).

There is also the not entirely trivial problem that moving to a completely different location with low prices and higher supply typically means low wages and fewer jobs, along with losing all your friends and family network, which is crucial if you are already struggling, and doubly so if you have a young family.

This increasingly affects more older people approaching retirement age, who worry about how they are supposed to pay rent when they are too old to work. The pension won't cover it. They are not choosing to not own.
> Note inflation.

Inflation has been exceptionally, historically low for over a decade.
> The media keeps getting this wrong by underestimating the skill and prescience of some of these meme-stock investors.

That is because it's a self-fulfilling profecy. AMC and GME were "undervalued" because a large enough group of people thought they were undervalued, and kept buying them at higher and higher prices until the undervalue was true in retrospect.

In some ways the stock market in general works similarly, but at least there are some sound financial groundings for that, with stocks being the value of expected future dividends.

Enough people memeing on a stock and playing a game of hot potato will make the value rise, but doesn't really make those analysts wrong in their initial analysis.

GME is a bit of an exception of this because some people saw the short pressure and decided to mobilize WSB to take advantage of that, but for the rest which stock would be memed on - and thus would rise in price - had almost zero relation to the actual performance of the underlying company.
Unfortunately zsync is a bit old and needs some updates for modern HTTP (doesn't support HTTPS, hand-written C HTTP client. We had to patch the header parsing and mime handling to get it to be compatible with our test server...)

If it swapped to libcurl as a backend, it would be much more flexible and stay up-to-date, since the idea is solid. That being said there are many spiritual successors to look into:

- zchunk

- casync

- desync

- bita
Indeed, why really do you think cars have actually gotten so much cheaper? Since it's not inflation.
Thanks! Am checking it out, sounds cool~~
> Why don't we choose to use our rare skills for our own profit (as everyone else does), and instead many of us give away immense value (and power/leverage) by open sourcing our work?

This is an interesting question, but effectively not only do these things work as a force multiplier for the whole industry, but those that give it away often find themselves gaining leverage and opportunity from it.

This also assumes that Open Source is only produced by hobbyists and is given away by people in their spare time. In my experience that's not really true - a lot of the good stuff is developed by paid engineers, but the company that's paid them has decided to open source their work. Which is great!

You're ignoring the part about the impact the psychological toll will have on your ability to perform and the fact that you can't use your manager there as a reference since they've intentionally railroaded you and have fake peer reviews on file that do the same thing.
It's almost hilarious that the safety requirements for cars keep getting more stringent yet it's perfectly fine to sit on top of an engine and two wheels and drive down the road at any speed without any safety equipment at all.
Counterfactuals Are Not Causality
In my country they aren’t planned around anything
Yes, but parent poster said 2009. I asked the country because not every market gets modern safety features in all cars; for example the original VW Beetle (as the "Volkswagen Sedán") was sold in Mexico until ~2003.

The startup times have improved a lot in version 1.6, the latest release, and are I
Proving again in the next upcoming release candidate.

Are you hitting the startup time very often? If so, you might want to try some things to keep one julia session open and sending code to it like a daemon instead of constantly closing and opening sessions.

This package makes that workflow really easy: https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl
No, far from it; I'm not HR, nowhere close, but I am senior enough that people sometimes listen to me. I'd like to make things better for people if I can, and part of that is "knowing where the problems are". Believe me or don't, it's no skin off my ass, but that's the opposite of my goal.

Someone mentioned 3d printing homes which I think is going to be amazing especially as more of the construction can be done automatically rather than just the walls.

Another totally different take on this is information systems. For example, what if there was a single system where you could see a map and analyze all of the unoccupied homes in the us along with the homeless and housing-deficient?

I am afraid to mention decentralized systems because that usually gets my comments buried, but for a large scale project like keeping a database like that up-to-date I think they would be useful.

What I am suggesting is, what if there were a aggregate information system that allowed us to know exactly how many people needed more affordable homes, how much their income was, what unoccupied buildings there were in each city and area, development plans, etc. And there were a way to identify each person and allocate them housing credits if necessary. Instantly. Such as a cryptocurrency.
There's also the fact that these chips are prone to failure, partly because they presumably are sensitive to static electricity and partly due to the design of theC64 which offers little protection.
Although I agree with OP, I also found this ironic:

It's not a UFO. If you don't know what something is, and equipment/sensors are a possible explanation, it makes more sense to say "UAP" (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) rather than "UFO".

This is not pedantry but an important distinction. What the pilots saw were images in their retinas that they interpreted as an object.

Claiming the unidentified phenomenon is an object is begging the question; we need to prove what the phenomenon is before we can rightly categorize it as an object.
I wasn’t sure whether you’re asking for resources about options trading in general, or info about the GME situation specifically.

Presuming it’s the latter, I would start here: https://reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nwqaj0/gme_moass_th...

That’s a link to a comprehensive beginner’s guide covering the GME saga so far, and offers plenty of supporting research in favour of a further potential squeeze. I hope it’s a useful starting point for you, assuming that’s what you were asking after!
It's almost like car drivers and motorcyclists have different consumer preferences for safety and that carries over to how they lobby their politicians on traffic laws.
I agree, I was once the on the implementation side of this. It was lovely. All day writing pure, terse, bug-free logic. Until that utopia started to itch...

But the experience helped me to look for the SQL patterns in the logic of the codebase I am working with.

Often there is very little. Mostly meaning that the rest is just an annoying heap of plumbing. It is not like I can magically make it go away, but it still seems unnecessary to me.

Thanks for the relevant comment - it must be intriguing for anyone who is not used with hearing about the “real world evidence” term in medical sciences.

Usually the highest level of evidence is attributed to randomized controlled trial studies. As the name says, they are performed in a high level of control, to evaluate in a more “insulated” way, the effects of a drug/intervention in a given outcome (reduce death, cure a disease, etc). Unfortunately, we can’t always relate these academic studies with the “real world”, due to an almost infinite number of confounding variables, or in the worst case scenario, if a scientist is manipulating the experiment environment (e.g. selecting a patient population with more likelihood for the desired effect).

This is one of the reasons why you will see with increasing frequency the terms “Real World Evidence (RWE) study” in reputable journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, or The Lancet.

These studies occur taking data from epidemiological surveillance, or patient medical records, and usually do a “reality check” on data found in these trials.

A lot of these RWE studies are famous to find problems that trials missed. Here is a classic example https://thalidomide.ca/en/what-is-thalidomide/
Same for me. Ported my calculations to Python from Julia. Even before Julia has started python was done. And Julia also did jit compilation in runtime. A function call could take seconds on first call.
I have considered it. I don't see the pattern widely, and I'm watching for it. I've seen teams implode because of it, and other toxic patterns, so it's not that they're not there... they just seem to be in the minority. There are teams I won't send friends to work for, for sure.
The little schemer is great, especially in understanding recursion and tail call optimization (pass an accumulator to track the result as a parameter). However I was never able to understand the chapter that builds the y combinator (and I actually was never able to understand that concept)...

Ive been dreaming up a TS SQL library that would use the new template literal features to implement a full postgres SQL parser in the type system. I imagine this would allow you to define a series of db migration statements (alter table, add column, etc) and the net result of that series of migrations would be rolled up into a schema definition as a type.

Then you could take this schema type and feed it into some function as a generic to generate a raw query executor that could again fully parse the SQL and perfectly infer the result type.

I believe all this is possible but I don't really know where to start.
Right. It's almost as if giving people freedom to choose might be a good idea.

Outrageous idea in a wage slave society of course. What? Freedom to choose, for slaves? What nonsense. Big daddy government and big daddy corporations know what's best for you - here, choose coke or pepsi every 4 years, you are free to choose, you are free.
So long as your method is able to travel through HTTP, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=residential+proxy&ia=web are quite prolific. I have heard more than one time that those exit points are why a lot of VPNs are "free of charge"

I also recognize that it might take some additional effort to ensure subsequent requests exit from different IPs, but given the number of vendors in that space, I would guess it's not ludicrous, either
It's understandable that the client schedule seems like an immovable object, but in truth it simply is not. Of course, I recognize that it is immovable by you. But imagine they applied the same mentality shift that we're discussing for the work week. Asking "why does it have to be this way? maybe we could try something different".

Is the deadline it tied to something else that truly can't be changed, like a holiday? Then what if the project was started earlier? Or if not, then what if we were in the world where it takes N+3 weeks instead of N, but the people doing it are happier and more productive?

I agree that it's not a small step to get to that reality, but I wouldn't say it's a dream; more a vision.
> holding off for a few more years so that there's additional electric

Ditto. I'm in a condo and I suspect it'll be at another 5yrs before they support installing chargers. Right now: nope.

Probably a good burgeoning opportunity here i.e. install the charging infrastructure in condo garages.
> If the brand new vaccines using a brand new technology are low risk, is really a matter of opinion. Basically it comes down to how much you trust the authorities and the how much you consider any given research or studies to be unbiased. (Particularly when the full data for the said studies remain unpublished)

That's the nice thing about science though. It's based on (readily available, well recorded) evidence. Deciding that an individual is smarter and/or doesn't believe in science (aka the entire anti vax movement) may be a matter of opinion, but the actual data and risks are not.

No, the lying part does.

I have also recently been playing around with Julia coming from numpy/pandas. I found that 1.6.1 felt way smoother on startup and import than 1.5.x. Might be worth trying to upgrade if you haven't already. At the very least it's encouraging that it seems like they're making progress in that direction.

The problem is that this is a "factory worker" mindset applied to creative and IP based work.

When a factory worker makes a chair, company does not profit from it indefinitely.

When a developer creates code he or she gets paid once, but company profits forever.

So even if they fire a developer, they still are profiting the from work they did. Question is, why developers sign IP transfer and royalty waiver in their contracts?
I think most people who care know that birds are dinosaurs. What purpose does being pedantic serve? Is there a single word term that more effectively describes all the large fauna that went extinct as a result of the Chicxulub impact (without delving into further pedantry around that)?

I don’t have the time or energy to write a full explanation, but my life has been consumed by this topic for the past two years. I became very ill after a stressful life event and it became clear to me that it involved mitochondria and inflammation, even though that was bizarre and inexplicable at first. I have been lost in the metabolic rabbit hole ever since. All I can say is that if you have a disease that is tangential to this issue, endogenous ketones will almost certainly have some kind of effect on your symptoms — for me they are almost a complete cure.

Take it from someone who’s whole life has revolved around this topic for years: this is a huge deal, it’s real. There is a medical revolution in the pipes having to do with metabolism and inflammation. This article isn’t a scam.
I'm pretty sure we had covid in March 2020, and my wife has since then been extremely tired - like needs a 2 hour nap every afternoon and in bed by 8pm - and brain foggy. She's had concussions in the past, so I haven't been sure when one brain fog ended and the other fog started, but I do wonder if it's post-covid related. I just don't know what to do about it though. Doctors are finding nothing.
2004 sebring. Traded in in 2018 after 235k miles - I'd had reasonable maintenance on it, but last couple years was getting to be a bit more each year. Last 6 month my mechanic said "it needs engine work, but I can't tell you how much it will be until I take apart the engine, and... that's probably going to cost more than a couple thousand all told.". 235k miles wasn't too bad. I got a 2016 car for around $12k with ... 7k miles on it, getting around 40mpg now, and it's doing fine. I don't want to keep it another 12-13 years, but suspect I could, given how it's holding up so far and how much I drive.
Repair cost exceeding the value of the vehicle is still cheaper than getting a new car. A new car is almost always a bad deal.
Ok?

But the model I had didn't, and didn't anywhere it was sold. Do you think I'm mistaken about my own car or something?
I believe Eigen has similar problems, but im not sure.

However, there is work happening for large stack allocated arrays in julia. StrideArrays.jl can create stack allocated arrays that work on any size that will physically fit on the stack.

This package is work in progress though and has some rough edges.
My honest uninformed sentiment: The device has very little utility so it will have no maintenance cost. ;)

I joined Amazon and was soon put on the devlist (i.e. preparatory chopping board) by a new manager.

I only knew that I was at risk of losing my job after 4-ish months, at which point the secret deadline was very close.

That period was extremely stressful and honestly left some scars (that have mostly healed).

I saw friends with families and fresh mortgages get fired instead of me. I was essentially fighting against them (who were unbeknownst to them also on devlist) to showcase my deliverables to leadership and demonstrate I pass the bar.

After that I moved to a team in AWS that I love. Management puts focus on our health, invests in operational improvements, and people work normal hours. Senior SDEs are vocal about taking it easy and taking care of ourselves when we need to.

Hunchentoot is the most popular as a server (and I suspect most people wrap their deployment with either nginx or apache) though two frameworks listed on https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#web-frameworks worth checking out depending on your preferences are Radiance and Lucerne. Link also has other related web stuff; like many things it's hard to say something is the "best" in its class, there are just options and some are more popular. On the front-end there are a few projects floating around that look to be aimed at replicating some of the concepts and workflows from the ClojureScript world for SPAs but I don't think any of them are really ready.

I'm not sure it's worth it unless you just want to write CL almost exclusively. It's cool though to have more variation on different deployment (or even "do it in production") workflows available to fit your tastes, from something like PHP's/CGI's copy/edit files loaded each request, to a more conservative shutdown-deploy-restart cycle, to connecting via SSH and then inspecting/debugging/editing the live program through a forwarded REPL socket in your favorite editor just as if you were doing it locally.
