"The surprising exit, announced with pedestrian quarterly profits, thrashed shares in another rough trading session Tuesday, a day after an analyst said two-thirds of the homes it bought are underwater."

The fed chart shows almost hockey stick growth in housing prices this year. How can the Zillow properties be underwater, did they just massively overpay up-front?
Thanks for your post. You understand my point, these disgusting processed foods are nothing but junk food with no animal produces no different from oreos, crescent rolls, and rice-a-roni which will not inprove your heath but it will taste good. Seeing it from the corperate side isn't suprising, its just embarassing how people fall for meat is bad, so this heavily processed food that costs more and has worst nutrition and is less digestable is better.

Companies Can Now Search Encrypted Data with New Cloaked Search Product
What was the last movie you saw? Do you remember any specific color from this movie, like, idk, the color of the car the hero drove or something like that? If you didn‘t make a mental note of that color while watching the movie, then how would you re-call that information now, without visualizing it in your mind? Can you give us an idea?

For example, what is the color of the laser beam of the death star? Do you „see“ the colored beam in your mind? I do, and it‘s the only mental mechanism I have to answer that question. Without that, I would have to look it up via Google Image Search or whatever, make a mental note of the specific answer, and would have to recall the answer instead of recalling the image, I guess…?

The USS Connecticut weighs about 10k tons. A container weighs maybe 10 tons. That sort of collision might or might not even cause damage. But by the law of inertia, the sub would, in even the worst case scenario, barely slow down and you wouldn't have 10 injuries.

The USS San Francisco was going maximum speed. The Connecticut can do 35 knots but judging from the injuries almost certainly wasn't.
Congratulations to Microsoft for finally shipping a fully-fledged Web Browser! It's been a long time since they made one that wasn't hamstrung to a single OS.

> More like you aren't going to get promoted for automating someone else's toil.

Lots of people were promoted for automating these things. They built easy to use services, got extra headcount since they became important and climbed the ranks. So not sure why you'd think that.

It may be different at other companies, but at Google building stuff that many other engineers depends on is a major way to get promoted. Of course if you automate something and nobody uses your automation tooling then you wont get promoted, but if your work gets used by basically every new engineer you'll climb the ranks quickly.
That's the metaverse we wish for, yet it's not the metaverse FB wants to build. It is the metaverse only in name, but it's just another proprietary sillowed plateform built to milk users.

A metaverse should have an HTTP-like protocol, with the goal to interconnect, to give power to the client, while allowing an ecosystem to build, because it would be defined as an open standard.

Unless it's all encrypted with the user's own password: sure, you can always invoke the admin powers and override the password field in the database or whatever. But the default mode should be that an account is only accessed by the person it belongs to.

Even as a security firm we have some exceptions in our company (disk encryption password for a physical device in the office is in a shared vault, for example), or support might do a remote control session with the user present, but it's definitely not the default setup procedure for a new employee to have shared credentials for example.

> People are hearing actual voices inside their heads?

Yep, and pretty much constantly. Mostly my own, but if I think about someone else speaking - like, say, recalling a conversation or even something from TV/film/radio - then I hear the voice of the original speaker.

My own voice, especially during a period of mental ill-health, gets so fast and/or loud that it can drown out everything else. I've been to gigs while depressed and literally "not heard" entire songs because I was too busy inside.

> Can you all hear things like music and other sounds too?

Can't speak for "all", but definitely for me. Music comes and goes throughout the day; if I choose (or otherwise have cause) to think of a song, I can hear it clear as day. I can be rickrolled just by seeing a line from the song.

Visually I am considerably more blank, however. I can recall things like walking/driving routes, views/vistas, the order of shops on a street, the layout of an airport terminal, etc etc - but I can't legitimately claim to be able to see these things in my mind's eye. They're just somehow there. But it's only a past tense thing - I can't do any active visual thinking about things that don't exist. Ask me to think of an apple and I'll recall one, not conjure one up. But ask me to imagine what a room would look like painted a different colour and I absolutely cannot - even with a swatch of paint already on one wall.
"Because what does it mean for a name to be meaningful? "

Are you optimizing for someone who already knows all the project lingo, or someone who doesn't know any of it?

Are your engineers native English speakers?

There are a whole bunch of things which make the perfect variable name frequently less than perfect, and putting project insiders in charge likely yields the opposite result.

Take: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/khugepaged...

If you don't know what a vma, pte, pfn, compound_page, young pte, huge page, lru, etc your going to be unable to even begin to understand what that code is doing, despite those all being pretty reasonable variable names and actually fairly industry standard concepts. It gets worse as you move to more esoteric topics. Expanding pte to PageTableEntry might help some subset of users, but at the expense of those that work on the code daily. So who do you optimize for? Is it readable if the only people that can read it already know what it does?

الحل السحري لعلاج مشاكل الشعر والبشرة قولي وداعالها واستعيدي جمالك
التقليدي في دول العالم العربي، فهو ذو فوائد عديدة تعود بالنفع على صحتك البدنية والجمالية، فما هي أهم استخدامات الصبار؟
استخدامات الصبار
نقدم لك أبرز استخدامات الصبار التي تتمثل فيما يأتي:

1. علاج اضطرابات الجهاز الهضمي
قد يفيد تناول الصبار في تهدئة الجهاز الهضمي، وعلاج أمراض المعدة، بما في ذلك متلازمة القولون العصبي (IBS)، والإمساك، كما قد يساعد في منع نمو البكتيريا الملوية البوابية (Helicobacter pylori) التي تتواجد في الجهاز الهضمي وتتسبب في الإصابة بالقرحة، وهذه تعد من إحدى أهم استخدامات الصبار.

حيث يمكنك الحصول على فائدة الصبار في علاج اضطرابات الجهاز الهضمي من خلال تناول ثمرة الصبار، أو شرب عصيرها دون إضافات.

2. شفاء الجروح
غالبًا ما يستخدم الصبار لعلاج الحروق نظرًا لخصائصه المهدئة والمرطبة للجلد، فإذا كنت تعاني من حروق الشمس، أو حروق خفيفة اخرى ضع جل الصبار عدة مرات في اليوم على المنطقة المصابة.

لكن تجنب ذلك في حالة الإصابة بالحروق الشديدة واطلب المساعدة الطبية قبل تطبيقه، حيث ظهر أن تطبيق جل أو كريم الصبار على الجلد يمكن أن يقلل من وقت شفاء حروق الدرجة الأولى أو الثانية.

3. التخلص من الهربس التناسلي
إن تطبيق جل أو كريم الصبار لمدة ثلاث مرات يوميًا قد يزيد من معدلات الشفاء عند الرجال المصابين بالهربس التناسلي.

4. منع تقرحات الفم
إن استخدام غسول الفم الذي يحتوي على جل الصبار لمدة ثلاث مرات يوميًا لما يقارب 12 أسبوعًا، أو تطبيق جل الصبار مرتين يوميًا لمدة 8 أسابيع يمكن أن يقلل من الألم المرتبط بحكة الطفح الجلدي في الفم، ويقي من الإصابة بتقرحات الفم.

5. خفض نسبة السكر في الدم
يمكن أن يؤدي تناول ملعقتين كبيرتين من عصير الصبار يوميًا إلى تخفيض مستويات السكر في الدم لدى الأشخاص المصابين بداء السكري من النوع 2، ولكن يجب على الأشخاص المصابين بداء السكري، ويتناولون أدوية لخفض الغلوكوز توخي الحذر عند تناول الصبار واستشارة الطبيب قبل ذلك.

طرق استخدامات الصبار
تتعدد طرق استخدامات الصبار من أجل الاستفادة من أبرز فوائده المتنوعة، والطريقة الأمثل في استخدامه هي تناول الصبار مباشرة.

ومن الممكن أيضًا استخدامه وتناوله كمكملات غذائية على شكل كبسولات، أو مسحوق، أو حتى بصورة سائلة.

فئات عليها تجنب تناول الصبار
لا تتناول الصبار أو تشرب مستخلصاته إذا كان لديك إحدى الحالات الطبية الاتية دون استشارة الطبيب:

البواسير.
أمراض الكلى.
الفشل الكلوي.
أمراض القلب.
مرض كرون.
التهابات القولون.
الانسداد المعوي.
داء السكري.

Fundamentals seem solid, gotta get me some of those shares!
What's funny is that some of these technical details are irrelevant now (some bugs have been fixed, some components decoupled etc.). But at that particular point in time, you had a very strange situation where one crucial system component was being completely replaced by another without supporting both for an extended period of time. Normally it takes years like with Xorg and Wayland etc. Once the new kid on the block gets mature, everybody is switching anyway. All that drama was totally avoidable with some imagination.
yes, “less than a picture but more than words” seems like a good way to put it!
That's implied. Optimisation is not premature when obvious.
Last year they were trying to hype XR (eXtended Reality). I guess that didn't fly and now they're trying to see if Metaverse will interest the target market.

I think there's a wide gulf between predicting the entire course of the collapse of a galactic empire centuries out into the future, and being able to anticipate a meteorite impact fractions of a second into the future.

While they may have the second foundation refine this ability and be able to predict things out over longer time frames, as of yet there is no one who can make predictions in any way comparable to psychohistory. Whether or not there is a need for this really depends on where the story is going, which is at this point unclear but definitely not the direction of the original books.

No it is equal. Everyone can marry according to the definition of what a marriage is (was). It is just that some people have preferences that don't align with that. But it is no different than if someone polygamous want to marry several women. Their preference don't align with what marriage is defined as, but they have exactly the same rights.
If, for example, the dataset only contains white faces and is intended to train facial recognition then yes, it needs to go through some kind of DI review.
I have no first-hand experience with what it's like, so I cannot comment on the veracity of what people have told me or I have read about it since learning about aphantasia. However, my wife assures me that it is in fact like a real, hi-def movie playing in her mind, and I have since read a number of accounts of artists who literally just draw or paint exactly what they see with their minds' eye(s), and talked with plenty of people who have varying degrees of inner vision.

I take you at your word for your experience. I likewise have no reason to think my wife, for example, is exaggerating to me. My wife has a photographic memory, and she can literally recreate stuff down to almost absurd details. I think it is possible you may be underestimating what other people see in their minds. :)
Dunno, I expect antialiased font rendering in modern software. Talk about overselling.
If MBAs and financial models can predict slowdowns, we won't have them at all. If anything ML models will exacerbate the situation IMO and they probably relied on them too much and bought more than they should. Of course what I said is also a projection (without even an ML model), so that is not accurate either :)
I have to agree, at least on the "modern" part. I compiled it from sources last summer to run on a retro-style Linux LFS I was putting together for fun. It was fun and nostalgic to see CDE running again, but there were parts of the build that didn't work at all (eg. help viewers and documentation), and support for Xft antialiasing was still pretty spotty.

It is still receiving patches AFAIK, and maybe these issues are fixed by now. But I also couldn't help feel it was probably a ticking time bomb regarding security fixes etc.

As a member of a core infra/"foundation" team, the biggest drain on my soul is the number of other engineers that are helpless, or never learned how to find solutions on their own. They never search wikis, look for similar posts on internal groups, or even read the error message from the tool that tells them exactly how to fix the problem they're asking about. When the culture has become "google everything", but you can't google for internal tools/tech problems, suddenly folks have no idea how to read error messages, debug a stack trace, or solve any problem without hand-holding from a senior engineer. I've been at BigCo for nine years now, and it has only gotten worse as the size of the company has grown exponentially.

On windows, there are APIs for setting color that could be ignored if STDOUT isn't a terminal.

On posix platforms, there's an API to check if a given file handle is a tty or not. https://github.com/corasaurus-hex/isatty/blob/main/isatty.c is an example of using the API, in a Janet context.

I assume that .NET's support for Linux/macOS is using that API decide if it should strip color codes or not.
> could you substantiate it with something from a serious, non-partisan economist?

The fact that printed money is fueling the housing market does not require an economist to see; it is obvious from comparing two simple observations:

(1) Americans expect to be able to get 30 year mortgages at rates around 3%.

(2) Americans expect to be able to invest their retirement savings in stocks and bonds with a long term rate of return of 8% or more.

This state of affairs would be impossible in a free market with a money supply that was not being manipulated; in a free market, nobody would be crazy enough to lend money for mortgages at 3% when they could invest the same money in stocks and bonds and make an 8% return over the same time horizon. The only reason #1 above exists at all is that mortgages are made with printed money from the Fed.

> rates have been very low for a long time

That's because interest rates are not determined by a free market; the Fed has its thumb on the scales (see above), and has for decades.
