The cause of the problem is that companies are claiming an outsized share of productivity growth such that the house is simply worth more to them. There’s more money in the investment class than there is among homebuyers, and the investment class needs somewhere to put their money that won’t depreciate.

This is what happens when real wages stagnate for 20 years but the economy keeps growing and consolidating. Eventually it catches up to you and you end up with a decade of stagflation while the imbalance corrects itself and a competitive market is re-established. Unchecked free-market capitalism has its drawbacks in the long term; we fucked around and we’re about to find out.

I absolutely love terminals. But, just about the time I could have learned curses, I switched to GUIs. Now I've switched back and uses curses to make UIs (so I can ssh into remote computers with low bandwidth and CPU). It's so funny how terminals are controlled and all the edge cases of each implementation.

You come across very defensive in this post which indicates that I maybe hit a nerve (or I’m reading it wrong).

I would happily pay you a monthly fee to get access to plugins that are better than the community dross available but you’re not interested in my business.

I think Capacitor and Ionic are great, sadly Ionic the company leave much more to be desired.

This is incorrect. Currently Truth is still internal software not available to the public, AGPL requires distribution of source code alongside the distribution of the program or service. Because Truth is only made available internally, the modified source code only has to be made available to their own company. This would change once the service does go public.

AGPL can also not be "permanently revoked". It's not individually licensed to each user like proprietary software often is, it's one license addressed to anyone. Furthermore the AGPL is explicitly irrevocable. They can change the license to a proprietary one but this does not affect existing copies under AGPL.

Last I'd like to touch on "antithetical values". If Mastodon were to discriminate against persons, groups or fields of endeavor in their license they would no longer meet the definition of open source, but rather become a source available proprietary product.

Your hunch is correct: Britain absolutely has more cultural variation than America. You see it in the accents the most. I never expected to have difficulty communicating with other native English speakers, but I was comforted by the fact that other Brits from different parts of the island struggled to communicate with each other a bit as well.

I have been working in RoR for a long time and, yes, it is being surpassed by other languages/frameworks, particularly python and, obviously, javascript.

However, I think we are turning the corner on javascript-everywhere movement and that html-driven development is poised to make a big comeback:

https://htmldriven.dev/

With the adoption of html-driven tools like hotwire, unpoly or my own project, htmx, the choice of back-end becomes more open ended because any language can produce server side HTML, and usually pretty well.

My hope is that, with this development, platforms like RoR, php and even haskell[1] will gain new life in web development.

Then what is the point of using a license if you're just "inspired by"? The producers could just say it's inspired by sci-fi classics and do whatever they want, including not respecting the spirit of the original work, which should the primary goal in an adaptation.
Homebrew project leader here: I hope you're able to find a package manager that better fits your needs and I'm sorry that Homebrew is not currently doing so.

---

Homebrew upgrades dependencies and dependents of those dependencies (which, admittedly, can feel like unrelated) on installation and upgrade. As mentioned in other comments, you can customise this behaviour with `HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE` or `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE`.

Homebrew does this because the alternative is sometimes breaking things. An example:

- you want to install `virtualenv` that depends on `python@3.10`

- the binary package for `virtualenv` you want requires the newest `python@3.10`

- this upgrades `python@3.10` on installation

Now, Homebrew has a choice. Either we upgrade _everything_ that depends on `python@3.10` that you have installed or we knowingly break some of the things you have installed that depend on `python@3.10`. We choose the safer option by default.

The more time left between updating/upgrading, the more likely to have more dependencies updated which requires more dependents to be updated.

Regardless, I appreciate this is a problem and we're still figuring out potential solutions for this problem. A reminder that we're a volunteer run project so it's not always as easy as we'd like it to be to get these changes out quickly.
I hate my job.
I wouldn't be too quick to claim that the myth of institutional house buying has been dispelled. Zillow isn't the only company out there buying real estate, and they are planning to sell most of the properties to other institutions and landlords, not the open market of owner occupiers.

It appears they made some errors in their calculations and temporarily bought too many houses at too high a price but the article says they are only pausing purchasing for the rest of the year and there's no mention of if they are revising their plan to purchase up to 5,000 homes a month by 2024.

So, looks like without evidence of a market wide cessation or significant long term reduction, significant institutional real estate actors remain a factor in the market.
I think that's a good idea (edit: i can't see why it's bad). FB are caught between a rock and a hard place. Damned if they censor, damned if they don't. Offloading the problem to the nearest government is more beneficial to everyone involved. FB was never about protecting free speech - it was about being a profitable enterprise, and why not?. The sooner this illusion falls away the better.
I don't consider any of those "replacement meats," they're foods in their own right. Falafel fits the bill as well, maybe mushrooms.

The real problem is scale. We're much more likely to develop a microbial or fungal nutrient sponge that's far easier to manage (and probably better for you + the environment) than develop some sort of highly advanced fake meat extruder.

One of the biggest issues really is momentum. It will be 20-30 years before a technology can compete with a guy in muddy jeans on a tractor. We are disrupting the fossil fuel industry, but that industry is only really about a hundred and fifty years old. The agricultural industry is nearly ten thousand years old, and it's experiencing its own renaissance with the advent of IoT.

Great article. Terminal emulators / shells are an area where we haven't seen much improvement for years. I can't help but think there could be a much nicer command-line-esque interface other than a classic psuedoterminal and shell. At the same time, I doubt any improvements could really be large enough to gain adoption.

> Convincing, nutritious, cheap artificial meat could turn the world vegetarian. This would have radical effects on the environment, the climate

Way less than replacing fossil fuels. Unless you're against killing animals for moral reasons, artificial meat is not "the most important thing anyone could be working on right now".
This is old news, they already fixed it.
What does low tech means in this context ? It's still a computer, with complication on top: solar panels, battery.

All the hardware they use requires some energy to be built, the network consumes a lot of energy too.

How does this compare to a VPS server at a cloud provider or using the grid electricity (no solar panel) ?

I'd expect individual VMs to use less energy compared to a decicated computer.

Is it really greener to stop using the grid electricity but instead buy a small solar panel ? Surely that'll be less green than the grid 20 years in the future.

The article contains many sources but doesn't compare other solutions. 2.5 watts is impressive, though.
Those movies are outstanding on multiple axes, but in terms of story I hate what they did to the source. Yes you need to mess with it to make a movie that works as a movie, no that doesn't mean your Aragorn can murder an emissary on a parley. These changes aren't just unfaithful, they're standard modern Hollywood tropes, subtracting rather than adding interest.
As someone selling to Zillow, they do retain a certain amount ($x thousands) from the seller for repairs and cleaning, at least for relatively new construction. I imagine it's a larger number depending on how old the house is and how much repair they think they need based on their appraisal/final walkthrough.
I think the simplest way to put it is they FOMOed into a very illiquid asset class in a very high risk market and now need to close the position quickly, which is going to cost them. I’m guessing they see a residential collapse on the near horizon.

I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this Q. Back in the day, UK universities, and in particular Open University, often let you take as long as you liked to finish a Phd. I knew someone who in the 1980s got a lecturer job at Cambridge Uni with only a Masters, and over a period of 16 yrs got a Phd part-time. But it seems this got clamped down, and now unis don't like to see anyone take longer than 6 yrs to complete a Phd, thus restricting opportunities for those working full-time / raising families at the same time. Does anyone know of some exception to this? I quite fancy doing a Phd myself one day, but I assume I'd have to do it in "stealth mode" unofficially for a few yrs without a supervisor first, getting quite far down the line then approaching a supervisor when it seemed like could complete it within 6 yrs, and that whole approach seems potentially to have pit-falls
Yes-- Also unless you're buying some type of financial vehicle, "buy & hold" doesn't encompass the full picture since they are physical assets with IRL needs. Unlike a security/stock/bond etc., in real estate unless you have tenants paying rent then even if the asset value remains the same, you're losing money due to costs like property taxes.
Kubrik made the film Lolita based on the screenplay Nabokov wrote in adaption from his novel.

The narrative frame and structure for the screenplay is quite different than the novel, but more suitable for a visual medium. I'll leave it to you to decide if it is a great movie, but the proposition that slavishly transliterating a novel into a movie is usually a bad idea seems reasonable to me.
Most of them died off.
One the one side yes, the current differences are getting mixed up, but with a multi planetary species, complete different traits could appear and show differentiation. May be larger differences in tallness, depending on gravity for example.
But will they stay low for the next 30 years? Probably not. It's not a good idea to justify ones house buying decision with an all time low interest rate.

> I disagree. By this logic, any fetch-like interface should be decomposed back to fetch(createRequest(new RequestHeaders({…}), …, …), …, …).

This is a weird example because fetch

1. Is constrained by HTTP semantics and has limited control over how it deals with optional values.

2. Has still somehow conflated at least two functions (idempotent reads like GET/HEAD/OPTIONS vs writes)

That’s really all of the point I was trying to make with 3. The optionality of Request.body is a signal that fetch is actually expressing multiple functions.

And I chose the word “consider” deliberately. If fetch were being written in a vacuum without consideration for HTTP or historical complexities it was meant to address, I’d probably argue for breaking it up. But I would consider those other factors as well.

> Big interfaces are there for a reason, and the reason is that we, as developers, are users as well, and we deserve simplicity in our daily work, because there is no deficit in complexity.

Big interfaces may or may not provide simplicity. Big coherent interfaces which express the whole of one thing are totally different from interfaces of any size which conflate different things.

> Why it’s okay to have ls/find/curl/etc in a shell, but having it in the source code is bad, and we have to write pages of readdirs, Regex-compiles and readyState handlers, increasing a mistake probability?

I’m not arguing for consuming small individual functions with a single responsibility as if they’re the final interface. What those small functions allow is composability, and at least a chance to make invalid state unrepresentable.

> I know what your rationale is, and I agree with it: god objects and functions are hard to debug. But nothing stops you from splitting the complexity into simple, testable chunks under the hood

But those interfaces are hard to debug for users, and

> knows how to combine them by following a simple set of options

If you know how to do that, there! You’ve defined another function! Now your user can call that higher level function and ignore your lower level units.

> Whether you’re writing more than one function or not then becomes an implementation detail, which doesn’t land on shoulders of a user of that interface.

Of course. That doesn’t necessarily mean your end user interface is one function with every argument that could possibly be used to influence the behavior of the underlying implementation. That’s just leaking your implementation!

> This definitely happened for cable TV

I keep seeing this, but in the US this isn't really true. Cable TV was originally sold as a way to get all the surrounding broadcast TV stations in to your home with near perfect signal quality without needing an antenna. This meant you would get all the ads those broadcast networks aired. Sure, cable networks did not inject additional ads, but there were still ads. It took a while before premium cable-only channels arrived, some of which touted being ad-free. But even then many of those premium channels had advertising from the beginning.

Ads were on cable TV since the get go.
As I understand things, Zillow's approach wasn't a corner, but rather an attempt at arbitrage/value-creation. They were pretty sure they had an edge at price-estimation and had enough capital to be able to simultaneously offer sellers execution speed and offer buyers a price they would accept. It is a market-making play.

My impression here is that Zillow has re-evaluated some part of that calculus and decided to pull back. I hope that they'll be able to retool and revisit the approach after learning expensive lessons, as it is my impression that there should be real value here for all concerned.
Some people, like me, might actually be bad.
As luck would have it: it's inferior in most aspects. Security, Usability (UI, responsiveness), Performance, Defaults (Privacy)...
Classic example of not understanding the gap between theory and application. If your home is overvalued by Zillow, you’re much more likely to sell than if it’s valued correctly or undervalued. E.g. Zillow overvalues my house because it’s algorithm can’t factor in our weird parking situation. I’m much more likely to want to sell for a high valuation than someone whose house is valued correctly by the algorithm.
They should be able to do it. Otherwise they don't actually know their products, right?

UPA is fascinating.

Think about the differences between an early Disney feature and something like Hanna Barbera or The Simpsons. The latter two are examples of "limited animation," which is usually a cost saving measure: draw fewer things, take less time, spend less money.

UPA was a pioneer in limited animation, but as an artform. They leaned into their constraints and created something beautiful from them.

There's way more here than I can write in a comment, but if you have an interest in animation, art, business, or working within constraints, you may find it interesting to spend an hour or two learning about UPA. (I haven't read it, but the linked book sounds like a good source.)
