If that was true I would expect power-user browsers with unchanging UIs to have a larger market share than they do.

This is backwards. If society gets more expensive because we no longer oppress certain groups in the same ways, then it should have been the case that people from these groups were the ones getting cheap housing in the past since they were “buying” a shitty social experience.

But that’s not the case. It was straight white families who got cheap housing while at the same time holding minorities back.
Having lived in Europe for almost twenty years, with a spouse teaching in a European secondary school, and with the utmost respect to my European colleagues, please allow me to assure you that this is not even remotely the case.
Not defensive, apologies if it came across that way. I try to explain how Ionic is different because developers often aren't thinking about some of these non-technical/support things, but their boss or team leads might be. Everything is very "free" on the client-side of mobile but that has also created a situation where teams building really important apps aren't able to get any dedicated support or guarantees around maintenance, so we're trying to fill that gap.

We've made our pricing more transparent recently and have added special plans for indies and startups that qualify as well. In particular we're trying to make more of our enterprise native plugins accessible for startups: https://ionic.io/pricing

> There's little worse than a friendly but incompetent teammate

What about a very competent but toxic personality who ends up preventing contributions from other team members, because when they contribute they get belittled or bullied?
My experience is that the team captains were usually the most experienced players, and were often friends with the best of the rest.

But everyone knew who was good, and they were picked first regardless of actual friendships, since games would feed into decisions about who made the school team, particularly captain.
I don’t think that’s an opinion held by someone who actually worked with/had to manage the combination of “slightly unfriendly + extreme confidence” before. That is how you get Prima Donnas, temper tantrums during technical discussions and other fun stuff.
That is indeed how I learned about the Ministry of Silly Walks.

One that already shows up in a browser a few minutes into the meeting, even though I used the native app to connect to it. I consider it an ad for the program I'm already using, which is just bonkers, so I close it reflexively. I'm using the paid version, but if I weren't I would still close it as soon as I see it, so the ad would be wasted on me.
"Infrequent" is not the same as "casual." If anything it's the reverse because you avoid using it unless it is literally a matter of life or death.

> Stocks have grown too over-valued? Move to housing, a gigantic market that people require to survive.

This is kinda what happened in the 00's housing bubble. Tech crashed and people looked at housing as the next big investment. It feels like we just have groups of people going from bubble to bubble.
I am a big fan of Ubiquiti. I live in an 1850s farmhouse that has a tremendous number of nails in the walls on the first floor, so Wi-Fi waves don't penetrate well. On top of that, when they worked on the wall between the kitchen and the wood shed they put a layer of metal foil in so that the penetration through that wall is close to zero. We also have an armoire with a mirrored back that blocks waves from the rest of the house.

We have 4 access points.

In summer we move an access point from the kitchen to the woodshed (with a powerline internet adapter). Tablets work in the kitchen but it would be ideal if we added one more access point to the bedroom above the kitchen.

It's no accident that Apple is not making a WiFi access point because "just works" is an impossibility. If you believe in the apple aesthetic you probably also feel entitled to install your access point at whatever corner of the house your cable box is installed, despite what physics has to say about it.

The awful truth is that different WiFi chipsets are just barely compatible with each other, high-end access points are chock full of workarounds for flaws in WiFi clients, and companies like Cisco and Ubiquiti have lots of patents on those workarounds. They have a "mutual assured destruction" policy that they don't sue each other, but they make sure that routers from companies like ASUS work only occasionally.

Powerline internet adapters are your friends. Their weakness, relative to modern switched ethernet, is that all the devices share a common bus. For best performance, use just two powerline adapters to make a "point-to-point" link to support one far-flung location.
I had the same worries as someone who with some luck will graduate in his 30s.

I went back to college after dropping out when I was in my early 20s. Someone told me "You're going to be X+4 years in 4 years anyway, why not try achieving that thing you want. Time will pass either way"

Surprise: Right now I enjoy college VS before when it felt like a chore I had to go because was the "right thing to do".

It's great to share a space with people who share the same interest in a topic of science/humanities as you do.

Being an old dude in college, allows you to be less worried about late-teenage problems like drama in relationships, in my case being hot-headed, dealing with parents' expectations, or the chronic stress from failing tests thinking it's the end of the world, etc.

Plus, being the "old dude" from the class, hasn't been a problem at all, people are respectful most of the time, and if you're friendly, they will even seek you for mentorship.

As long as you're not behaving like Chevy Chase from "Community", nobody will give much importance to your age.

Yeah, there is a lot of things that are just bureaucracy to create false gatekeeping that I don't like even now.

But from time to time, I find lectures about topics I didn't know existed... and I have that feeling of being a kid again, and finding something new from 0. And that's 100% worth it. So I get why the dude, would keep searching for a PhD even in his eldery years.

I am fortunate enough to live in a country where college it's free. But if it's too expensive, you could get a lot of the value from distance Coursera, and online courses/communities.

Comparable doesn't mean identical. It means they exist on the same scale, or are of similar magnitude. Obviously that's subjective to an extent, but a factor of 3 is only half an order of magnitude - sufficiently similar that "enormous lie" seems a rather unfair description.

You're 100% right about this rule benefiting the pitcher. Parallel to this you have to do something to reduce his advantages. Famously, they lowered the mound to do this.

I'm curious how the 61-foot mound in the minor leagues is working out.
Depends i guess - if you've got a teammate that is plainly and repeatedly careless/incompetent in his doing you're not exactly going to throw your hands up and think "This is fine, the research says it is", right?

Anecdata: colleague of mine at least twice a week reboots production servers during the day, sometimes by themselves, sometimes along with their ESX-hosts...

His response? "Oops."

Does he ever learn from it? Doesn't look like it...

I mean, i'm not exactly working at a hospital or something - i.e. no peoples lives on the line, but try to explain for the n-th time to someone whose last hours work was lost because someone couldn't be bothered to check if he can reboot that server now or not?
A national average is about two months, from what I can find, depending greatly on where you are and what you're selling. That standard deviation can be quite a pain. It's certainly challenging to plan around an unknown and potentially unbounded number of months. The ability to make that into a known number might thus be valuable to some people in some situations.

You're absolutely right, of course. There's no shortage of stories about markets moving fast! That said, it's been my personal experience that people don't generally share their stories about a house or condo moving slow. Perhaps complaints and stories might not be an ideal guide to reality in this instance?
It's a very well-executed April Fool's Joke in that regard. But it's still a joke. And 0xDEEPFAC is apparently very committed to the idea that it's a real thing and not a joke. Just look at the commit dates if you have any doubt (and the fact that there haven't been any since then).

I don’t think it is unreasonable for someone watching an adaptation of a book to expect that the central themes of that book to be central to the adaptation, or at least not have the main themes of the adaptation be a direct contradiction to the source material.

I think it is. Directory hierarchies are trees, tags are graphs. Trees are great when you need to optimise the physical retrieving time, but don't map well to stuff like pictures. For example, tags of who is in the picture are way better than making folders by person. Same thing for places.
The level of conformism in typical corporation is really hard to digest. It reminds me of communism (the implementation not the design).

He mentions his house is near a street named Baltimore. And he said he's near DC, not in DC.

One possibility is University of Maryland in College Park.

The main street that runs through campus is Baltimore Avenue. And it's just a few miles outside of DC. It's close enough to be on the DC Metro.

There's a Megamart a few miles away. A Lidl supermarket is just north of campus. And there's a very small Target with a nice sized grocery section with fresh fruit and vegetables, etc. right in the middle of campus.

If you're walking from the middle of campus, Target is your best bet. Lidl is a possible walk, depending on exactly where he lives, but a little further. Next would be Whole Foods, two miles south of campus. Maybe he hasn't discovered that yet?

It was really hard to resist the tidal wave of commodity x86 hardware at that point in time. Nobody did, not even Apple. And the server market got eaten by Linux, Solaris had no serious advantage anymore despite being a quality product.

It really is a different story now, though. There's room for more diversity, though they'd probably have to have made the switch to Linux.

Open sourcing Solaris earlier on before Linux ate the whole market -- or embracing Linux, or taking some hybrid approach, could maybe have kept them relevant.
I think these returns to scale/density are somewhat intrinsic.
Agreed, tab groups are the main thing I miss after switching from Chrome recently. Hoping they come soon.

Most of the guns carried by such security are very old design lee-enfield rifles, some version of the AK-47 or sten guns. The police in India traditionally had 6 shot revolvers as standard issue for the officers. These work well as a visible deterrent when most people you are guarding against dont have guns. These guns are rarely fired by the private security guards. You will also see double barrel shot guns used by security personell at banks and atms.
For a probably over a year now I've been using Edge because I was making a half-hearted attempt to de-Google myself where possible (yes I know it's Chromium, but it's a start)

Finally yesterday I got so sick of Microsoft's incessant prompts to try Bing, and shoving news and ads in the new tab page, and integrating Bing rewards, etc. that I said I was done and moved back to Chrome.

First thing I did when I opened Chrome was to go into the settings and update it since I hadn't opened it in I-don't-know-how-long and I was surprised to see it was already on the latest version. Great to know it was wasting system resources to update itself without me knowing even though I wasn't using it, and don't even have a process indicator for Chrome in my system tray
Interesting, you use EdgeDB but not GraphQL instead of gRPC? I looked in to EdgeDB and GraphQL seems to be a big part of it.

With gRPC and UI side of things I think there is some issues, like no standard way to handle validation errors (e.g. email field has incorrect value), so everyone reinvents the wheel.

Edit: Also this EdgeQL seems like nice way to interact also from UI. gRPC is not mentioned in the EdgeDB at all.
Safari was also buggy for me for some of our service web pages like Ambari - for some reason Safari took 1 core to 100% and internet stopped working everywhere. Only solution was to kill the process. With Firefox, everything seems to be working perfectly (albeit Youtube loads slower). I also find the redesign delightful and visually appealing.
It would be nice if you could run Homebrew in a mode where dependencies were statically linked if possible. On my system, "brew list | wc" shows 200 installed packages, and "brew leaves | wc" shows that I actually only intended to install 32 of them. This is a huge dependency tree full of junk I don't even know if I actually need. Static linking would save a lot of space and make your list of installed packages simpler and more understandable.
Leave it to California to fuck up an industry with regulation. Seems that leadership wants to have their cake and eat it too.

You can either destroy the illicit market or you can make insane amount of money off regulation, pick one. Destroying the illicit market will require making dispensaries competitive with illicit shops so taxes and other regulations will have to come way way down. California seems to have chosen the latter option of just making a ton of tax revenue off the industry rather than using the industry as a way to crush the illicit market.

No one in the legislature must have taken economics or they must have a "Dan Btlzerian" outlook on business, because all they seem to want to do is milk the industry for everything it's worth.

Pretty soon they are going to have neither, because the solution was crushed under the weight of everyone wanting to have their hand in the pie and take their share. California leadership is still under the delusion that they can just keep taking and taking from this industry but somehow that industry will still stay afloat and thrive.
We have 1) inflation and 2) population growth. Given the limited amount of resources, land, and labor, why on earth would house prices remain steady?

You'd need at least one of these factors to be reversed, or demand for standalone housing to go down for cultural or economic reasons, before you see long term downward trends.

In general though I agree with the poster above that the affordability "crisis" is really an expectations crisis. Everyone wants to live in a nice neighborhood with great schools that is close to the top employers, but there's simply not enough space, so this results in high competition and therefore prices. For some reason nobody wants to move to the rust belt where houses are nice and cheap. People don't want houses, they want the BEST houses.
> We really don't have any direct, past precedent for this type of situation.

Unfortunately we do have precedent. Through all of history almost no one owed their own home. It was by extraordinary government intervention in the 20th century through loan programs, incentives and building, and impediments to speculation, that made it uniquely happen in our era.

As the government steps back from continuous intervention favoring individual home ownership and low to nonprofit housing, the more profitable rental economy will re assert itself: it is always more profitable to own a property to rent out then to live in it and the market will reflect that if left to itself.

Price fluctuations (eg 2008) do not change the fact that land price increases have far outpaced wages for decades. So yes, it is rational to be very concerned.

And note that Zillow is not selling these 7k properties to would be homeowners but to investors.

> Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently-used order. Just like Cmd+Tab. This feature is wonderful and is easier to access than Chrome’s Shift+Cmd+A.

This is one of the main reasons why I still use Firefox. Also in my experience Firefox address bar does a better job pulling urls from history based on the words you typed.
I think you are being sarcastic but, unfortunately, this is an all-too-common viewpoint among the so called "woke".
> What does “vote them out” mean in this context?

I suppose it could mean voting in people to write a law that makes it exceedingly unattractive for institutional investors to buy single family homes. You could probably even do such a thing "neutrally" since people really only need one home and if you own more than two you're almost certainly investing in some way. Apply some onerous tax on each unit owned above 100, and all these investors will flee the market.

Edit: IIRC, the companies that buy up all these single family homes are large corporations. I'm pretty sure you could write a law like I described that they wouldn't try to use some cheeky corporate shell game to try to bypass (e.g. in their tax filings require them to declare how many single family homes they're the beneficiary owner of, regardless of any intermediary shell companies/special purpose entities, and tax them for that). Require the auditors to sign off of on the number. If they lie, everyone's subject to even more onerous civil and criminal penalties (e.g. blow them up like Enron). Large corporations will stretch the law as far as they can, but it's rare for them to deliberately venture into fraud and other kinds of illegality (for the pedants out there, note I said rare not never). The systemic issues can be solved if they're made to comply, even if some relatively small fish still don't

Extreme competence, not confidence.
I agree B) isn't being employed by only malicious companies. We're talking about a huge market and tons of competition. It would take a lot of effort to keep honest companies from making money also bringing prices down if there was artificial price inflation.

I've definitely not studied the market extensively, but it seems rather intuitive to me that if you artificially give everyone access to the best loans in any market, you'll see prices continue to inflate until everyone in the housing market is educated and capable on benefiting from the subsidized loans.
