City centers and interesting spots in Portugal are now huge informal hotels. Most house owners moved and made a living from it. The rest (renters and youngsters) were kicked to the least interesting places and even there houses doubled or tripled price since AirBnB. Cheap interest makes the situation more palatable. Let's see till when.

I believe this is the norm everywhere. It's the collateral damage of travel democratization.
Well, if my bio 200 class taught me anything, it's that we don't have bodies that are created with cells all united to single goals or purposes.

Our bodies are microservice hell :D. We have a bunch of cells all performing their complicated jobs and duties working together in a crazy complex distributed system. Even the internals of the cells are a bunch of horribly stitched together glue code that just happens to work because of billions of years of pruning off the glue that doesn't work.

It's an incredibly complex chain of chemical reactions which has been selected of eons based on which chains of chemical reactions produce more of the same chains. It's madness.
I love this so much. It's everything I want in a practical typeface. It's only missing a couple little things. Can we get an alternate 7 digit with the line through it, and 1 digit with the bottom horizontal line?
Niall Ferguson's Square and the Tower - power is all about your network. Wealth can most definately buy you a network quick, but those networks are more fragile than established entrenched ones.
Exactly. UK is a democracy with a pretty good justice system that follows the law, so I was very surprised to read so negative comments about the outcome of the case.

Do I feel sorry for the person - yes, but breaking any injunction from court has extremely predictable outcome! I'm thinking it could have gone way worse than the 8 months in prison for him, especially if he were in any other country (including USA).

Sad to see this unfold, but extremely predictable outcome of breaking a court injection... courts take very dim view of it!
I feel like this would be heavily biased by the culture of the people in their training set and the culture of the medalists. Different cultures have different facial expressions for happiness.
You mention React and Elm, which - as I said previously - both rely on other people's actual GUI work (the various browsers' rendering engines + DOM, the various platform-specific UI SDKs, etc) to actually put anything on the screen.

I can't speak to ReasonML, as I have not used it, but my impression also is that it takes advantage of other people's GUI libraries considering that I've heard Revery compared to Flutter (and Flutter outsources its rendering to Skia as well as relies on rather imperative RenderObjects beneath the functional reactive layers). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would be very interested indeed to see a GUI framework built from the actual ground level up in an entirely functional reactive manner. Do you know of any?
Can you give an example of what you mean by 'synchronous actors'? Blocking on what exactly? The point is surely that elixir/Erlang makes it difficult to write concurrent code with lots of global shared state in the first place no?
Quick -- someone with epidemiology/virology experience -- can we get a summarization for the layman? How concerning is the concern noted in the title?
I agree. This is likely a result of central bank policies pushing rates down for so long. I bought recently because rates are so extremely low and the govt has committed to keeping them low for a long time. Rates went up very slowly after the Great Recession and this time will probably be the same. Add to that a growing population (here in Canada) and housing prices will probably keep going up a lot.
What part of the title is misleading exactly? The title doesn't say he is going to jail because whistleblowing is illegal. But he is indeed going to jail for things about how his whistle blowing was done. I think it's misleading to call the OP's title misleading

When I first moved to USA from Denmark, back in the late 90s, the chemical, sickly syrupy taste of Coca Cola made me gag and I was very surprised in terms of how different it was from the European version. Then I found out that in Europe, they use sugar rather than corn syrup. It's amazing what the Americans will put up with.

> it can just be building a minimal chess quickly using methods/frameworks that are not easily extensible to future requirements related to chess.

You should not build something you do not need if you know it is wrong and you will not need it.

That is just wrong.

Many engineering managers do this to “show progress” but this is because they are bad at their job.

On the other hand, if you need it so the UI team has a mock to work against (so that they can explore what interfaces they really need), it isn’t debt at all.
> I do see a lot of people extrapolating from what is essentially individual customer support up to company customer support. It's not far off extrapolating from a bad experience as an Amazon customer to AWS being a bad option – a comparison I don't often see being made.

I think the difference with Amazon and some of it's competitors is that Amazon has made customer service a core business tenet as evidenced through "Customer Obsession" being their first leadership principle. It's ingrained in their culture, and it inspires confidence.
So I calculated mine. 5% YOY over 35 years.

You can do 10% YOY during the first decade, maybe even the second. It gets harder after that. 10 years experience makes you much more valuable than a first-year worker, but 30 years doesn't make you that much more valuable than someone with 20.
A few reasons, but one of the primary ones is there needed to be a way to securely store the session or identity of the user on the client side. There are a few ways of doing this on the client; storing it in memory, using browser web storage, etc. But the most secure way (for users using a browser) is storing the data securely in a HTTP only cookie, and it's this aspect of the responsibilities that this library looks to handle.

It's been an ongoing debate I've had with some Aerial users, but I agree with you. Most if not all are real time or barely slowed down (latest beta I've put a slider to speed a video up/down partly to try and settle this).

They definitely are massively stabilised though and Apple used to update videos from time to time, tweaking stabilization, colors or sometimes length and pushing new versions. They haven't done that in a long while though.

Some seem shot from fairly high altitude and may use planes instead, and at least for some videos, I've heard they used 3rd parties to shoot them.
This is a very biased introduction into intelligence research. Part "Iq tests today" creates whole narrative based on "some researchers says..." who is interested in what some researchers say? We want consensus view not some researchers opinion.

I have a Synology NAS. All cloud files sync to it (Dropbox and Gdrive, the latter using "real" files, not just their .gdoc format), all backed up nightly to Synology C2 in the cloud, encrypted.

Photos, which are in the "absolutely irreplaceable" category: all of the above but also have Mylio running so have external drives and 2x desktops with this data on them.

If only playdate games specifically (and even more specifically, potential future playdate games) weren't something so unique and revolutionary that one could be entertained by other, competing, more reasonably priced alternatives.
You're responding with an argument that says "he pissed off the government so he was sent to prison" - but he actually was convicted of violating a court injunction (in India, that would be contempt of the court).

It's hard to connect contempt of the court proceedings with pissing off the government without also alleging that courts are in the pocket of the government... which is a very serious connection to draw here. This happened in UK!
"How's this?" meant "How's this for an example of acknowledging timing and luck?"

One of the things that surprised me was that linear search on optimally laid out data was frequently faster than binary search with frequent pointer chasing.
You're completing ignoring labor costs, capital expenses, building rent, franchise fees, equipment maintenance, etc.

A single soft drink may not cost much in terms of raw materials, but running the business has lots more costs involved than just raw materials.
Did you read the post you are replying to?

Linus says to ignore the design mistakes like segmentation.

Then he says:

"the baroque instruction encoding on the x86 is actually a _good_ thing: it's a rather dense encoding, which means that you win on icache."
For me, your number 2 was the biggest disappointment. That Bitlocker doesn't use TPM session encryption is a big failure in my mind.
This is not in fact an EU court. It's the court that interprets the European Convention on Human Rights. It's part of the Council of Europe where the U.S has observer status and Russia as well as the UK are members.

And a traditional scalar architecture is more flexible still. The trick is to pick the correct set of tradeoffs for the targeted applications. I claim that for most array style workloads vector/GPU architectures are flexible enough, and offer better perf/watt and perf/chip area.
I mean isn't it obvious? Third place is great because you narrowly avoided winning no medals, but second place isn't because you narrowly avoided winning the first place.
Linux took over the server market, and Matrix looks like it will take over the chat/VOIP market. Even if that requires top-down investment, it's still a win for FOSS.

There are so many serious connections to draw these days that it's no longer such an argument against it.
It seems very full features with lots of options. My initial reaction was that they didn't do enough to distinguish between I and l which is a deal breaker for me.

The Codeless Code #83 - Consequences http://thecodelesscode.com/case/83

is a good read on that... or rather, its a spot to start thinking from.

It ends with:

> A nun of the temple whispered to Jinyu: “This problem has several solutions, but I dislike all of them.”

> “Therein lies its value,” whispered the abbess in reply. “For we are all of us doomed in this profession: our designs may aspire to celestial purity, yet all requirements are born in the muck of a pig-sty. I trust that this monk can succeed when the stars align in his favor, but when they do not, how will he choose to fail? By cowardly surrender? By costly victory? By erroneous compromise? For it is not he alone but the temple that must bear the consequences.”

There are also a set of "topics" hidden with a mouseover at the bottom that can waste a day away without difficulty.
Spot on. It’s all about trust, which in this context means getting the offering honest scoping & pricing, completing work as promised, and doing quality work. Contractors who deliver that trusted experience already are usually booked up and hard to get hold of when you need them.

We’re betting that more contractors can achieve those same standards in our structure, and we can deliver better availability and consistent trust to homeowners.
I agree, this is in my opinion a strong point of Xamarin Forms over the competition, the native experience.
In theory, this could provide dramatic performance uplift if the splay is done along lines of an aggregate value function over the node contents, and the contents of the node are selected such that their aggregate value function is well-defined & ordered relative to other nodes. I've got an implementation I might try this with. There are a ton of directions you could take this in depending on specifically what you are trying to optimize for.

Looking at this from a mechanical sympathy perspective - If you are unable to batch tree operations for whatever reason, increasing fanout is a good intermediate answer since you can make your storage system do more effective work per I/O. You can't ever read or write in units smaller than 1 storage block, so maybe shoving more logical items into each block is where you need to look.

Practically, this is probably not feasible in a wide number of use cases. GUID/UUID keys (non-linear) would break this scheme in my mind.
I guess they wanted their app to look the same as other apps on that platform.

Nicely stated elevator pitch. Big CSP / Communicating Sequential Processes[1] / process-calculus feel, from the lots of little parts working together description you have! We're somewhat re-primed to move in this direction from having done serverless "lambdas"/functions-as-a-service, too, I'd say.

Yeah I have no idea what the author is getting at there. One obvious way to put a topology on the space of binary streams is to think of them as binary expansions of real numbers in the interval [0, 1] (the notation is supposed to indicate that we include 0 and 1) and inherit the topology from the normal topology on the reals in which case the answer is yes [0,1] is compact.

In this representation 0 is included as the binary stream consisting of all zeros and 1 is included as the binary stream consisting of all 1s.

This isn't entirely clean as a bunch of (rational) real numbers in [0,1] have multiple different binary expansions, for example 1/2 can be written

.10000... (the zeros go on forever)

or

.01111... (the ones go on forever)
A lot of companies have scrum-masters but practice something other than scrum (agile). They also may be called agile-leads, but in my experience they are identical roles.
If the restaurant owner has to close up because he can't make enough revenue to be profitable with the accessible floor plan, who has benefitted? Not the owner, not the normally-abled customers, and not the disabled customers. I guess you can say that everyone got the same outcome though.
The particular complaint mentioned in the article is Java <=> Mono transitions in Xamarin.Forms and if your focus is on Desktop that's not a concern on any of the desktop platforms.

.NET has long been rock solid in C/C++ <=> .NET transitions and WinRT <=> .NET transitions. (System.Windows.Forms does a ton of it and .NET 5 seems to have the expected performance from all those transitions.) The new interesting transition that it is still too early days to tell how well it will perform is the new .NET approach to Objective-C <=> .NET transitions/projections (which is more like the modern WinRT projection techniques) that is also different from the Objective-C <=> Mono transitions in Xamarin.Forms. (Though the article points out that the Objective-C <=> Mono transitions were fine and the new .NET approach on paper should be even better.)

Also, from what I was reading, a modest version of the architecture change that the article was lamenting needed to happen to reduce Java <=> Mono transitions in Xamarin.Forms is supposedly happening in MAUI and they were trying to reduce the surface of "managed Renderer" code that transitioned in/out of OS level services. I don't know if what they are doing would be enough to satisfy the article's writer, but it apparently has been something on their radar.
Algorithmic bias bounty challenge

No, I don't think so. The radical extremes give energy to each other. They're a problem for centrists.

It's been interesting to watch the center attempt to embrace enough of the (further) left to address the legitimate concerns (and remove fuel from the fire), without swallowing the poison.

It's also been interesting to watch Trump et al conflate the radicals with the center. They say nonsense like "Nancy Pelosi's far-left agenda", and people believe them. What absurdity.

Everything Is a File
This fits my personal experience very well.

I was once a volunteer at the world championships of a team sport. At the podium sceremony my job was to lead the team to the spot where each player received their medal. The bronze medalists were super happy and smiling. Almost all silver medalists that I led to the podium were literally crying.

No sophisticated facial recognition was needed to ascertain who was happier.
The Problem with Prioritization Frameworks
It's a much bigger problem than than merely content promotion and aggregation.

There are countries where Facebook is the entire internet. Maybe they tried to make it happen and maybe they didn't - but however it happened, they are effectively the Ministry of Information now for that country. They probably shouldn't be. Everyone agrees on this, even them. But like the child-kings of history, it is still the situation. Avoiding the job is simply doing it badly.

Google, Twitter, others, are in a similar boat. They find themselves effectively running branches of government now, not of countries but of the world. Nobody has ever done that before. Nobody knows how to do it correctly, least of all people that mainly want to make money on a website.

The censorship is not because they're evil. It's because one of their subjects approached them saying their stuff is getting people killed and they were like, "Aaugh, I'm just a web site! I don't deal in such matters! Get it off me!" Because they think they're a web site. A political philosopher or an expert statesman would weigh philosophically how to maximize freedom and minimize harm while understanding that freedom gets some people killed, with an eye towards avoiding atrocities. Facebook isn't thinking about the historical risks associated with censorship because they still think they're a web site.

They don't know how to drive this thing - nobody does - and they are going to drive it straight into wars and catastrophes and atrocities. At least, that's the risk. There are countries whose actual ministry of information communicates matters of public safety primarily through Facebook. Or hosted on Amazon. Or whatever. And that company is going to make some minor change intended to protect transgender people in Wisconsin or something, and accidentally massively empower an oppressive government in Africa. That's the problem space. You think you're miserable because people in California are currently effectively setting policy in Arizona? Imagine you live in India. Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown, and this might be one of the biggest crowns ever made. It would be nice if we could find a way to destroy the ring. I definitely don't see another serious answer. In the mean time, the situation is what it is. The rest of us are idiots if we sit around criticizing them for not being perfect. We should be figuring out how to help!
> the real “Amanda Knox saga” would make for a much more interesting movie: what is it like to have your roomate murdered, your life destroyed, and your identity robbed from you by the global tabloid press? That’s the real Amanda Knox story.
