> Homebuyers will make purchasing decision based on their monthly mortgage payments, instead of the home price.

That isn't entirely true. For most people, the amount you need for a down payment is a pretty important consideration as well, especially for a first home where you don't have any equity in an existing home that can be used to purchase your new home.

I've known people who saved up for years to buy a home, then interest rates dropped and prices went up. The mortgage might be roughly the same with the same percentage of down payment, but they don't have enough cash to make the necessary down payment.
I haven't seen this commented on, but I find it really intriguing the button at the bottom to buy the data for $19.95 USD. Pretty interesting form of side business.
If anyone has experience using self hosted GH Actions at scale, I’d love to buy you a virtual coffee and hear about pros/cons for a parallelized CI flow currently running in Circle.

Why would I want C? All of that to avoid writing Assembler for simple things?
Definitely a cool idea. I've thought a lot about this idea as I'm sure many others on this post have. A protocol for just HTML/CSS (and a lightweight bridge) could be cool to see. This desire was why I was initially on board with AMP (before I saw the bigger problems with that format.)

I've also thought about a JSON-only protocol. In my mind this would make it simple to do AJAX-type interactions for loading content (the core benefit of JS to me) while still excising JS in its entirety, but I haven't thought it through very far admittedly.

This is the first time I'm hearing about Gemini and I'm really intrigued, especially how it's handling input and identity. There's potential here...
My Going Maskless Is Different, Says San Francisco Mayor
Software, like anything with money involved, tends to suffer from cargo cultism, but I think there's much more to it. Language ecosystems tend to be self-reinforcing in a cycle between developers and supporting libraries/tools.

Once Python got the edge in certain areas - particularly data processing - it was an upward spiral. The same can be said of JavaScript for webdev over Ruby and Python, with its special place at the heart of every browser.

I'm not entirely sure why Python got its initial edge for data processing. I think Google probably played a big role by sponsoring Guido and making it one of the key languages used internally and on App Engine. Ruby also had its share of drama and not everyone appreciates its "More than one way" (TMTOWTDI) philosophy.

He used a private jet to travel to the Bahamas even though travel was restricted due to COVID. There is video evidence (uploaded by him) of him and his collaborators, all from the US, in the Bahamas and not wearing masks. I'm not going to link the video, because he doesn't deserve the views, but you can find it yourself on Google.

He might have recovered from Covid before traveling. Either way, he posting a highly-publicized video in which he used his wealth to skirt international travel restrictions during the first months of a global pandemic. He did this mere months after posting a video about how easily such viruses spread. This is irresponsible at best.

> You can't test economic theories with the scientific method because there is simply no way to create a market vacuum to test.

The scientific method doesn't require laboratory controls; statistically controlled experiments are just as consistent with the scientific method.

Now, there are branches of economics which are, more of less overtly, not empirical science but essentially theology, the Austrian school being the most well-known, overt example, and they and their practitioners tend not to be distinguished from those of empirical economics when covered by the mainstream media...
And in most C-style languages that don’t have labelled blocks like this, you can use an infinite loop to achieve the same effect; for example, in Rust where labelled blocks aren’t yet stable:

'label: loop {
break 'label;
}

And if you want to go one further on that, you can break with value because Rust is expression-oriented:

fn main() {
println!("Hello, {}!", 'label: loop {
break 'label "world";
});
}
and give law enforcement full access to unencrypted messages woohoo!

Now get that list of different implementations going.

I’ve been thinking of something similar, and this is a good list, but is it “exhaustive”? What would such a list look like? Is there an objective way to explore all the various challenges of building UI?

Here’s one example: Very large forms. This is not covered, and can be quite challenging, especially when different parts of the form show up at different times. Even vanilla React fits this poorly (this is where Flux came into being, which ultimately spurred Redux, Recoil etc).

But also a CLI. A flow chart. Notebooks (Jupyter). So many types of UI to cover.

In Germany, you must put your phone number on commercial websites. A few people called me before I put a note not to call me next to the number.

In my case, I write TFM, so phone calls came from people who didn't RTFM. Emails require more time to write, so people do their research before asking.

I do learn a lot from those emails. They help me write better documentation, because they're direct feedback. You get to know what confuses people, and what situations they find themselves in.
If there were no threat from USSR's 3 letter agency, Yelczin wouldn't have to arrest his own bodyguards with aid from the army, break down the KGB, and Puga (the MVD head) wouldn't have shot himself for nothing, and Kruczkov wouldn't have tried to flee the USSR in tears, with soiled underpants, few tons of gold ingots, and pleading for mercy when he was caught.

I think it's all very simple, and clear how it came to CPSU collapse, and who was who at that time.

Maybe they were just investigating PCC vs Greenhills or it was a cross thing, or they built PCC with Greenhills. who knows?!
True. Renting has other risks though. The Landlord can increase the price dramatically at least as often as you renew your contract (usually a year in the US), or force you to move out because they sold the property, or really almost any reason. And because moving has such a high transaction cost, landlords can often get away with treating tenants pretty badly, because putting up with a bad landlord is often less bad than having to relocate your home.
> However, it's still a lowest common denominator solution with respect to what codec is being used. The broadcasting "peer" has to send using a codec that every other peer supports. Essentially that means you're stuck with the lowest common denominator codec.

This is correct, though I wouldn't call them "inferior codecs": all WebRTC capable browsers support both H.264 and VP8 as required by the specs.
These examples are very reassuring to me. Sometimes, after a long day of fighting whatever trendy JS framework my current project uses, I may be tempted to advocate for a "back to the basics" approach with vanilla JS or even jQuery.

Anything after the temperature converter example makes it painfully obvious that it would not be a pleasant experience.

I can't speak to the Ruby details but I used to use the same author's node-packer, which was the same concept for Node.js. It uses libsquash to store the script source and replaces the REPL entrypoint to run the embedded source from the internal squashfs.

The node.js binaries were about 50 MB which sounds large for hello world but the size would stay practically the same for a full featured application since everything is baked in already. I'd imagine the Ruby version is relatively similar in size but cannot say for sure.

Those improvements in the safety numbers (e.g. "Since Amazon installed Netradyne cameras in its vans, Miller claims that accidents had decreased by 48 percent") are surprisingly large. I don't really trust Amazon to study and report them properly, but if they're real and if they correspond to significantly fewer serious or fatal accidents it justifies the system a bit.
> He used a private jet to travel to the Bahamas even though travel was restricted due to COVID.

He had recovered from COVID and was not subject to any personal restrictions on travel. Commercial flights has been suspended at the time, while private ones had not.
He didn't skirt any travel restrictions, and AFAIK he didn't use his wealth to do it (it was a Discovery Shark Week project, and Discovery hired the jet.)
> Not everyone is good

Actually it really depends who is the subject of the "good" judgement. Everyone is doing what they think/feel/sense is good for them. So in this sense there is no good or bad: it is just acting out on self wants/needs.

The good or bad makes sense when changing the frame or point of view from self to someone else. So good and bad appears only in relation with other people. In this sense it is subjective and history is a proof of this.
And to balance that out, also from your link:

>"The affordability gain from increased house-buying power, however, was offset by the third component of the RHPI, nominal house price appreciation, which reached a record 19 percent compared with a year ago, eclipsing the record for price appreciation of 17.5 percent set in 2005."
There are plenty of non-exogenous causes, they just don't have the same cool-factor for publication as things like leaded gasoline. For example many people were released from institutions during the massive de-institutionalization push that started in the mid 50s [1], going from ~340 institutionalized people per 100,000 in 1955 to about 60 per 100,000 in 1980. One can even argue that the sum of incarcerated and institutionalized has averaged roughly constant (about 450 per 100,000) with a dip during the period of increasing criminality from the 1960s to the 1990s as the incarceration rate had to climb from ~100 to ~450 per 100,000 to make up for the mass de-institutionalization.

The cited study is pretty interesting:

"The juxtaposition of these trends and the current high incidence of severe mental illness among those behind bars begs the question of whether the mentally ill have simply been transinstitutionalized from mental hospitals to prisons and jails. A related question concerns the extent to which the unprecedented growth in incarceration since the late 1970s is driven by a reduction in public investment in inpatient mental health services. Past changes in sentencing and corrections policies are currently under heightened scrutiny as state prison populations are at record levels and many states are seeking to scale back correctional populations with an eye on the fiscal benefits of doing so. To the extent that the run-up in state prison populations was driven by deinstitutionalization, the current focus on sentence enhancements and the evolution of the U.S. sentencing regime may be misplaced."

> RISC (reduced instruction set) has a few characteristics besides just the number of instructions

Many (or all?) of the RISC pioneers have claimed that RISC was never about keeping the number of instructions low, but about the complexity of those instructions (uniform encoding, register-to-register operations, etc, as you list).

"Not a `reduced instruction set' but a `set of reduced instructions'" was the phrase I recall.
Will they, really? Their workers would not work at Amazon if they had other choices.

The real problem is that there is no Amazon delivery and logistics equivalent. Workers would leave for it. There would be price competition on wages.

Perhaps antitrust split of Amazon should divide the company down the middle in each state, creating two logistics and delivery companies nationwide, evenly and randomly splitting their assets.

The problem is going from results on curated datasets - usually with at least a little implicit overfitting, since even if you reserve test data, it's typically chosen in the dataset creation process - to data in the wild. BabyTalk had that cool result in 2013, and there have been great papers following up in that area, but there's still not, e.g., a website where you can upload a photo and reliably get an accurate description. It's not because nobody's tried, it's because it's hard - neural network vision methods are still generally quite brittle to unexpected variations in data, and "accurate description" is actually a very loaded term that typically needs some sort of in-the-world contextualization to unpack.

Yeah, there are several giant dictionaries (variously class to function, string to class, etc.) in just the project I’ve worked on most recently that fit that description.

Though considered from that perspective, it’s actually a bit of a disadvantage that the new match statement is a part of the language. It’s nice to dynamically extend (either as a first party developer or third party user) that sort of dictionary, effectively adding new branches to the implicit switch statement. A match statement is going to be fixed as written. Probably a readability and consistency win to remove spooky-action-at-a-distance, but at the cost of a bit of (ugly, pragmatic) usability
