Philosophically, I believe the right to shelter is a more important natural right than any other property right.

I don't believe it should be legal to extract a profit from ownership of real estate.

I don't have any issues with handymen, gardeners, plumbers, construction workers, or even real estate/leasing agents receiving fair compensation for their labor. My issue is only with the idea that landlords should have a right to take profit.

> house prices have a fundamental ceiling, and it is determined by the size of the monthly payment that banks will allow the typical homebuyer to assume when approving a loan.

In the more irrationally-hot markets, why assume that housing is even being purchased on a mortgage by your average home-buyer, rather than being purchased cash-in-hand by a private or corporate investor looking to park wealth they've already generated? (Even if that isn't the majority of houses in those markets, the sales like that that do happen would still have an impact on property values in the affected neighbourhoods.)
I mean yeah if your culture or belief involves not treating people of different races or genders equitably, then the goal of the training isn't to change your mind. Swallow, follow, or get out of the way.
While this looks pretty cool I can't help but think of this as yet another procrastination project. It seems we are prepared to do just about anything but the actual emissions elimination. We already know all we need to know about who the polluters are and what to do.
Just start playing with your diet. Not only is information around diet not guaranteed, it is also specific to each individual. Probably even specific to a time in a persons life.

Try vegan for a few weeks, try keto for a month, see how you feel. I think shaking up your diet is as important as how you shake it up. I would lean towards some research and then diving in and tracking how you feel/perform versus trying to gain a deep academic textbook understanding.

I don't know the exact percentage of properties not in Zillow but in the MLS, but it is a very small amount. Zillow changed the game when it came to us non-Realtors(R) having access to housing price data. So much so, that some housing economist types have noted what appear to be permanent changes in months of active inventory (eg https://www.piggington.com, who analyzes San Diego's market)

I don't think it's hyperbole to say Zillow has more data on residential real estate than any other company in the US.
>That Energy Balance Model (EBM) seems to make intuitive sense: we gain weight because we consume more calories than we burn. However, as the authors note in the abstract, “Conceptualizing obesity as a disorder of energy balance restates a principle of physics without considering the biological mechanisms that promote weight gain.”

>Instead, in the Carbohydrate Insulin Model (CIM), they offer as an alternative, the types of food we eat—particularly excessive carbohydrates (including added sugars and refined grains)—change our hormonal balance in a way that makes our body store more fat, and that makes us obese.

this seems trivial to prove that theory. get a number of test subjects, calculate their BMR via direct calorimetry, restrict their physical activity and feed half of them a diet of supermarket garbage, and the other half a nice and balanced diet, then publish the results.

have any of the researches who seek to debunk the laws of thermodynamics attempted to do that?
He is not wrong. The cumulative effect of small ingroup preferences is segregation, see this little cute simulation https://ncase.me/polygons. To enforce desegregation you need to either suspend freedom even for small choices, or reeducate your subjects to exhibit unnaturally large outgroup preference.
> It doesn't even get into the modulation ballpark that Bitwig is playing in

I don't know if that's true. You can do a lot of modulation in Reaper directly, by chaining native LFOs or other modulation sources.

Bitwig's UI is incredibly sexy and beautiful, and Reaper is kind of ugly and crude, yes. That makes it easier in Bitwig to just see what's happening, whereas in Reaper you have to hunt down inside effects' parameters. I think that's the main difference.

But I don't think there are things you can do in Bitwig that you can't do in Reaper for a comparable amount of work. I'm not proficient in Bitwig, though. I would enjoy to see some comparisons.

He also served as the president of India and was by far the most popular president India had.
Wouldn't it be both? With a legal review I would make sure that we take into account any legal requirements in the planning stage, then at completion I'd still want legal to look at it and make sure those requirements were met. I don't see why this would be any different. Planning review: "Here's how we're going to make sure we get a suitably diverse set of faces". Pre-Publishing review: "Let's look at the data and make sure we have everything we planned on. Oops, looks like we missed New Zelanders somehow, better fix that before we publish."
Both. SSDs also fail (yes, it's true). I'm not sure why people seem to think they last forever or that they never fail. They do not last forever. They do fail.
And anonymity. See how many are active in VR community under their legal full real names. Some mention their IRL names on social profiles as footnotes, but if they did care, that person is not important in VR.
Based on a bit of reading, neither university, nor the professors, are being entirely honest about their underlying goals here. Each is working hard to adjust the narrative to be entirely in their favor.

The professors could proceed with this, without permission of the university; the consequence could be firing and possibly a lawsuit. But that would backfire spectacularly on the university (streisand effect). So, the professors are actually not proceeding, to make the university look as bad as possible.

Bad faith all around.

You know, it might be useful to do a little bit of extra work and turn it into its own exportable documentation so that people can't do that and have to rely on the script to get the documentation for it.

> But if someone makes my day worse, no matter how valuable they are to my employer, I don't want to work with them.

With all due respect, how do you define "makes my day worse"?

If proper communication in strictly professional use-case is present, nobody's day will be defined as "worst" or "better".

Friendship is cool, but is subjective and temporary form of perception. People characters change under pressure or due to personal internal or external events. As always there is exception of this rule, but in general building trust trough honesty and open communication is the better investment.

Respecting someone for knowledge, experience and abilities has long-term value in life and obviously in production reality.
I'd say Motif, and my favorite, Xaw3d, are two of the nicer UI toolkits out there. At least, that's true from the perspective of a user, having never programmed against their APIs.

There's a lot to be said for distinctive, beveled buttons for quick visual acquisition of interactive UI widgets. Modern fashion trends make them look dated, but I'd be willing to put money on them being quicker for new users of an application getting oriented and doing things.

Sure but the bigger issue was that the actions taken had set precedent that portability can be broken. Once precedent is set, you open up a hole for everybody with reasons to become incompatible. People felt that this precedent was bad for a distro that prides itself on compatibility so they forked.

Whether the results are the same is irrelevant to the difference in approach.

Thanks for sharing that story. Very cool.
I do not think automation is "premature optimization", nor do I that think everything needs to be high-quality; I did not say that. I do think, however, that everything you do should be of acceptable quality.

And for me, having configuration management is the minimum level of acceptable quality. It's simply not possible to have acceptable quality of a system without some form of configuration management. I can't recall a single instance where I (or anyone else involved) ever said "wow, this unmanaged mess sure works well" :P

In some cases, the management can be as simple as a comment in some script explaining some part of the process was done manually, or simply a periodic snapshot backup of the server that can be restored when the configuration is broken, but the point is that a process must exist and it must be consciously chosen.

Free-form documentation is not an alternative to configuration management either; if you can document your configuration in a wiki, you might as well put it in a git repository in the form of a script or a template.

When done properly, It's the exact same amount of effort, except when you use automation tools, the documentation is in a format that's not ad-hoc and can actually help do the things it documents instead of requiring a human to interpret them (possibly introducing mistakes). "Setting up" Ansible requires literally nothing but a text file containing your server's hostname, and SSH access, which you already will have.

Also, I don't know where you got the idea that I would somehow assume unchanging scope? I am the first person to throw away useless code and tools; I consider code my worst enemy and it's practically my favourite activity to delete as much of it as I can. If some piece of automation is no longer fit for purpose, it gets rewritten if necessary. Throwing away code is no big deal, because the tools I use allow me to get things done efficiently enough that I can spend time refactoring and making sure the computer properly handles the tedious parts of whatever I'm working on.

Your unbound example is something that is trivially solved with configuration management. After an upgrade, you notice your configuration does not work, navigate into your git repository, update the template, and then deploy your changes to any server that happened to be running unbound using that same template (because you might have redundancy, if you're running DNS). If you make a mistake, you revert and try again. There is no manual ad-hoc process that comes even close to allowing you to manage change like this, but it is trivially enabled by existing, well-understood automation tools.
That's mostly due to the popularity of Python in machine learning like projects. It's ideal for plumbing and Numpy/Tensorflow and CUDA bindings make it fast enough for real work.

I know your frustration and pain, but as someone frequently on the other side of the equation trying to seek out answers, it is often difficult-to-impossible.

Just this past week I was working through some infra setup challenges, I had to piece together half a dozen different documents, several README files, and a few archived slack threads. These sources often are outdated or even contradicted each other. Even after all that and some earnest trial and error I still had to ask for help.

It's fine to want to point to the docs, but when you do that you better have good docs you're pointing to. As an infra team, often your "API" is your docs and templates. Searching slack threads and piecing together bad docs isn't a scalable solution for every dev to repeat individually. But neither is pinging an individual with every question. Teams need to invest in good documentation.
Like 25 years ago I was writing software for financial traders back when trading was mostly done in open-outcry pits. What we had was very skilled human experts, so our systems were all basically supportive. Some larger rival, famous for their technology, thought they could do better by giving traders Newton-esque handheld computers that would receive new information via infrared networking. Then you didn't need smart traders, just monkeys who would do what the computer told them. Everybody was very impressed with all this high-tech gadgetry.

But one day we hit a period with high volatility, lots of price crashing and spiking. The handheld systems and the servers that drove them were too laggy to keep up, so the monkeys would get taken advantage of both on the way up and on the way down. It was a very expensive lesson for the execs who put too much reliance on the tech and not enough on the expert humans.

It seems so wild to me that not only are people making the same mistake, but at a much, much larger scale. Half a billion dollars lost. So far!

"We do not recommend writing modules that are just thin wrappers around single other resource types. If you have trouble finding a name for your module that isn't the same as the main resource type inside it, that may be a sign that your module is not creating any new abstraction and so the module is adding unnecessary complexity. Just use the resource type directly in the calling module instead."

from https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/modules/develop/index...

If you write different versions of the terraform modules that do some corporate specific magic, I think that would be okay under this rule. It's when you're writing a module that doesn't do any useful magic that they want you to stop and think.

In reality when debt/funding is exceptionally cheap, conditions exist for these sort of companies to be fine. Or to put it another way, when there's few options to park money and expect a reasonable return, risk threshold for unprofitable companies becomes lower.

So the market isn't really irrational. You might argue our interest rates and monetary policies are irrational. I would agree with you.

From the article;

> Hold managers accountable: one of the key responsibilities of leaders is to create positive change for their teams. Once you notice a situation where you think everyone is in learned helplessness mode, make sure to notify your manager and follow-up until the problem is addressed.

"Hey boss, I noticed that Bob and Joe are really helpless at their jobs and that you just kinda watch it happen."

Yeah what could possibly go wrong with that?

I'm not saying the thinking is wrong, but a little idealistic. Not everyone works at BigCo where it is impossible to get fired and you only ever get transferred. Nevermind most of the people in this position are going to have extremely short tenture.
You're making me aware of that larger point, though it may have been implicit.

And the thing is that I love Waiting for Godot, so I could make a strong pitch.

I've just read an interview with the writer, David Goyer:

https://variety.com/2021/tv/features/foundation-apple-adapta...

It's frustrating and I'm not sure why. I think it's because Goyer didn't realize that the 80's books were fan fiction.

Isaac Asimov was always his own biggest fan.

If you write an adaptation of the Foundation series that focuses on Gaal Dornick you're working with a prequel.

The only good prequel ever made is Godfather II, right?

Because a good story starts as late as it possibly can.

So in this case, self-referential or not, Goyer was doomed. He's basing the series on some very bad books.

> nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free open source web server

As a relatively young dev, the idea of a "web server" as a standalone binary that serves your application (vs a library that you use to write your own "server") feels strange.

Of course nginx is more than that- in my limited experience I mostly see it used as a static file server and/or reverse-proxy and/or load balancer. But I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the classic Apache-style paradigm was to have "the server" be generic and explicitly support certain application languages, which it knows how to load and interpret for handling requests.
Just in case you don’t know the leftist response to this, let me take a crack at it. It’s not that people would choose ‘wrongly,’ it’s that only some people would be able to exercise the ‘choice,’ leaving those who are unable to behind. And while I think the classism of this is bad enough in itself, it just so happens that the division between the haves and the have-nots largely align along racial lines in the US. And just in case it’s not obvious, the reason why this matters in respect to public education is that all children deserve opportunity regardless of where they were born or who they were born to.
