I've lost count of how many times this has happened.

In one case, I went through and read several dozen comments on an article. No exaggeration: all commenters (100%) said nothing whatsoever about the article's text. They were all just holding forth on their own opinions and experiences related to the headline.

It’s definitely annualized. That makes the most sense. And when you look at the case shiller index directly it bears that out. Also interesting is Feb to Feb was only 12% annual increase. But may to may was 17% increase so there was definitely an acceleration there. Some markets are insanely hot. We saw homes going for 30-40% more than the previous year in our neighborhood. A house almost exactly the same as ours sold this year in June for almost double what we paid for ours a few years back. Some real estate markets are more than just hot.

e: its rolling 12, which is what I meant, but yeah.. words matter :)
I completely agree. A thriving business with a poor quality codebase is the problem you want to have. Use the cash generated by business to pay developers to carefully refactor the offending parts of the codebase or architecture in a direction that reduces the specific business problems being caused by the poor code. Situation is not only sustainable but can be improved.

A business that is not thriving and running out of cash, with a high-quality codebase, is heading toward a terminal failure state. Situation is not sustainable with restricted options and time to recover.

> The other factor in code quality + business success is team size. With a big team and poor quality code, it spirals down much faster, each new bug/feature gets harder and slower to implement.

Slightly generalised, this a good rule of thumb for categorising different kinds of poor code and prioritising remediation efforts. Poor code that is stable that doesn't need to be modified and rarely needs to be read and understood by humans -- it's fine, no business impact, don't touch it. Poor code that causes production outages every week or that multiplies the time and cost of each new feature -- is causing an ongoing cost to business, can estimate business case of value in fixing it, worth prioritising for fix. Per your example, if the bad design is some architectural decision that impacts many developers or many teams each time any team makes a change: increased blast radius, proportionally larger drag on business.
Why not? We willingly breed with people who have extremely different physical characteristics than us all the time. Would a human and neanderthal from the same region back in the day be as different as, say, people of different races from the opposite sides of the world today?
If you are going to split hairs between "rational thought" and "critical thought", you'll have to elaborate because the two seem to be pretty much synonymous.

Generally, anytime you find yourself looking down with scorn on something, that is a great indication that there probably is something you don't understand and an attitude of contempt certainly won't help you figure out what that is.
And since we all know cholesterol and saturated fats are killers, we should ban butter and institute that everyone should have at least a tablespoon each of canola and sunflower oil a day. Except the science has now reversed to the point that polyunsaturated fats are being implicated as likely causes of obesity and metabolic disease.

You statement sounds far more confident than what the science would currently permit.

Apologies for the edited title, but the original title conveys nothing about the interesting content of the article.

TLDR; the author participated in a contest to design a "sustainable suburban development" in the Houston area. The competition was intended to be a showcase for "green" tech, but the author's submission demonstrated they could outperform all the high tech submissions (developing more housing and commercial than was required with less environmental impact) by simply adopting a traditional small town design (read: walkable and compact) and preserving most of the land as wilderness or light agricultural.
Are they really using the old rotary engines? The only DC3s I've seen still flying were turboprop conversions with noticeably different engine nacelles of course.

Except that your monthly payment is directly affected by the price of the home. If the fed starting selling bonds left and right tomorrow to get the rate to 5%, those home prices would sink.
I think it's a valid question. I often wonder what the cutoff is for how something determines whether another entity is of the same species (ie, something I have sex with vs something I eat). For instance, you could go off of looks, but then why would a german shepherd try to have sex with a pug? There seems to be some sort of ingrained biological threshold for what is a compatible mate and what isn't. Determining that threshold for various species is interesting to me.

China has never made a transition to capitalism. Roughly half of the workforce is employed by the State, it's at best state capitalism.

A transition to hard capitalism and a collapse of the government would absolutely bring economic disruption. And China right now is much less self sufficient than Russia was in 1991, and gets its foreign exchange from complex and vulnerable supply chains.

China is also much less educated than Russia was at the time, and would be even more vulnerable to corruption.
So explain why every single population adjusted chart of almost any metric out there looks identical to all the others. You'd be hard pressed to tell which graph is Florida and which is California.

If the only way you can possibly prove lockdowns work is some kind of meta study using fancy statistics and math in order to show any difference, it probably means even if it did work it wasn't worth the cost to society. If lockdowns were effective and worth the social cost I assert any fool off the street should be able to easily see the impact of restrictions. Thus far, that is impossible.
> There are clear signals that this vaccine is more dangerous than any other vaccine brought to market thus far.

You need to be more specific than "this vaccine". [0] lists 21 vaccines that are "approved", and an additional 89 vaccines in development.

From context, I assume you are talking about an mRNA vaccine approved for use in the USA, which brings the number of possible vaccines down to 2. Regardless, what signs are you looking at for "this vaccine" being the most dangerous one to hit the market.

Of the top of my head, the vaccine I would be most worried about getting is the one for small pox. This vaccine infects you with a live, not weakened form of the vaccinia virus. After getting the vaccine you are given specific instructions on how to care for the injection sight. Failure to properly care for the injection side can lead to the virus spreading to other parts of the patients body, or even other individuals. Even when properly cared for, the smallpox vaccine often leave a permanent scar on the injection site.

The second vaccine that comes to mind is the polio vaccine, which can cause outbreaks of vaccine derived polio in the surrounding population (although patient 0 typically does not experience adverse effects in this case). Currently vaccine derived polio is far more common than natural polio.

For polio, we have switch over to a less effective vaccine to help avoid vaccine derived polio.

Indeed, you can use Redwood or any other framework to build a SaaS. But, at the end, you need to set up:

- Authentication

- User dashboard

- Pricing

- Form management

- Stripe integration

- Infrastructure as code

- Type checking, linter, code formatter

- VSCode

I remember when my youngest sister was watching it in the late 90s.
My daughter started watching it in the last couple of years. I was a little taken aback that it was the same show.

There's at least one episode where a reference is made to the non-passing of time in their universe. We got some DVDs of the older episodes from the library. I found it interesting, and a little spooky, that technology in the "Arthurverse" updates while the ages of all the characters remained the same. It's like some kind of twisted "groundhog day" scenario.
I really don't think I agree with this. The thing that's always frustrated me the most is when someone new doesn't ask questions when they don't understand something or aren't sure if they're doing the right thing then powers ahead anyway only for me to inevitably have to come along and waste even more time fixing the problem than it originally would have took had they just asked first.

Whatever the work is, the important thing is that it gets done, usually as efficiently and as good as possible. If it takes me explaining the same thing 3 times in a row to get something done properly the first time I'd rather do that than have to go back and fix things later.

And honestly, everybody starts somewhere, the best way to learn is by asking questions. If someone is asking me questions, it tells me they recognize they don't know everything, care enough to learn and are humble enough to ask for help.

Such qualities are rare in people and i've found every time, the people like that make the best employees and coworkers.
Basically a wok is typically made of stainless steel and people tend to season those. So, yes that works. The main point with cast iron is that it is not stainless steel (i.e. it rusts). So, seasoning them is not optional. Well used stainless steel pans tend to get a bit of coloring on them that is hard to clean. That's basically a form of seasoning.

I'll happily burn karma to get the point across: Safari is not good enough for my needs, and it's starting to feel like MacOS is also not good enough for my needs. As Mojave continues to lose support in mainline apps, I find myself avoiding my Macbook for most things. Got some photos to process? Eh, I'll do it in Linux. Got code to work on? Who cares, it probably won't run anyways. It's that kind of latent frustration that drives people away from the platform, so people should at least be aware of it.
> Some of that floor area will go into multi-storey buildings but some will be provided by ever-expanding urban sprawl, which will leave even less space for wildlife.

I don't think we're ever going to erase this. We keep saying, time to tackle urban sprawl. I don't think we have the ability. I think the urban sprawl IS the reaction to density. It happens again and again. For every human that likes living in a city there's another one that hates living in a city.
Yes, you want a carbon steel pan. They are slightly less thick but just as heavy and good as cast iron pans. They season like cast iron too (after you remove an initial wax coating they come with from the factory to protect from rust). They aren't expensive either--about $30 or so for a 12" pan that isn't some boutique brand. Many commercial and restaurant kitchens are loaded with carbon steel pans.

An argument against racism is that the differences between different ethnic groups are only skin deep and that all researchers agree on this. This is an absolute truth for most "educated" people today but is it true though? We know that just one gene can do a lot and here we have up to 7 - 1.5 = 5.5% difference? What really IS the truth? And no, I'm not saying we should start treating people of African descent as sub par humans whatever that answer turns out to be.

I've often wondered what a non-uniformly distributed eating pattern results in from a dietary and health perspective. I wonder because I have spend many contiguous hours hacking all while growing up and into my professional career to the point that I barely have a 'sense of hunger' and have to remind myself to eat when/if I notice that I'm thinking really slow. For my first full-time job I regularly used to have breakfast, then pretty much coffee all day and late at night try to catch dinner before everything's closed.

Anecdotally I've always had trouble keeping weight on and have frequent blood-sugar level issues. Usually nothing too serious, light fainting/feeling -> drink some orange juice.

> you mean only data comparing outcomes in placebo versus vaccine groups?

I concede it may be the only data comparing death rates in two randomly selected groups, but I completely contest that I "[was] shown evidence that the original claim was correct". I came into this thread to argue whether "these vaccines had saved lives", and a point we used to as a litmus test for that was if "death rates [due to COVID] differed in proportion between a fully-vaccinated population vs. a partially or unvaccinated population".

Therefore, if you were to show evidence that the original claim was correct, you would prove that litmus test. Instead, two data points were provided: a Moderna study where 4/~15k people died in both a vaccinated and placebo population, and a Pfizer study where 2 vaccinated died and 4 placebo died in a population of 20k. In the Pfizer case, it is especially unclear to me these deaths are related to COVID at all in either population [1];

I certainly have conceded this is a piece of evidence towards your argument, but I continue to believe the onus of "proof" in this case continues to fall to you, as multiple large pieces of evidence point to drastically better outcomes when infected as a fully vaccinated person vs. an unvaccinated, alongside other pieces of evidence showing reduced transmission to and from infected individuals. Therefore given the high infection and relatively significant mortality of the disease we already have these attributes to tell us that as time goes forwards it is virtually guaranteed that "deaths in unvaccinated populations will rise to a level proportionate to IFR and population size", while that outcome seems not true for vaccinated populations. Therefore it seems clear the null hypothesis is that the vaccine saves lives, because it would defy our intuition and known population effects were that to be false. Therefore two data points on small populations in the relatively distant past without associated mechanisms are not enough to prove the original claim correct without significant amounts of further evidence.

I also concede that perhaps in some sense these studies should have continued, and that it may be easy to take this discontinuation as a signal of dubious value of the vaccines; I personally hold that given the other data points at hand they became completely unnecessary and don't show anything statistically significant at all talking about total death counts on the order of 10.

Let me know when you can do proper software engineering, with unit/integration tests and deterministic performance testing/scaling on them.

A previous company forced devs to switch/add a no/low-code tool. We were given 3 to evaluate: dell boomi/mulesoft/some other crap.

Most devs were gone within 6 months of that mandate coming in to effect.

Horrible, immature, limiting tools.

Do you think the A team devs are building these no-code tools after their initial prototype? No, they're being farmed out to design and development by middling product managers and devs - which never ends well.

Fear is a very common emotion in those afraid of the virus however addressing these fears is frequently thought as wrong. Fear is encouraged it seems, as it works as a motivator.

One obvious example is panic buying. This was caused by fear. Another example are healthy, young, people completely isolating themselves indoors and not leaving the house for exercise.

Addressing these fears is seen as not a good thing to do, sadly.
> Yet, for some unknown reason, natural infection is NEVER talked about anywhere.

Because early on in the pandemic immunity became a political issue and those who suggested you could get immunity were seen as right-wing wackos. To this day there is some level of immunity denial out there.

Not to mention there is a vested interest to promote vaccines, which boosts revenue for pharmaceutical companies. Vaccine promotion is one of the reasons I think the CDC hasn't straight out said kids aren't at risk of covid. If they did, nobody would bother getting their kids vaccinated (because quite frankly they don't need to!).

I honestly think most of this crap doesn't make any sense and doesn't really add up because most of this is fueled by hysteria, non-stop fearmongering and politics. A small fraction of what we are doing is actually sound disease mitigation. The rest is just humans running around like chickens with their heads chopped off.
Also, there will always be limited supply. COVID-19 and remote work changed that a little bit, but there's other reasons people want to live close to population centers: Restaurants, entertainment, shopping, schools, and friends, to name a few. Most people will always want to live not very far (but not too close!) to some group of other people.
