To answer the question of the headline: Not at all. Once a house is built, the cost of building is a sunk cost.

> if you could reduce the costs of construction, housing costs would fall as well.

Why? What drives prices down is competition. Lower costs of construction might help with that, but only slightly, and I would guess that it will only help enough to shift the prices if construction costs are lowered by a magnitude or so.

This whole argument sounds like arguing that we must reduce wages across the board in order to lower prices of goods. This never works.
Thanks for the support. Yup someone else pointed that out too. It's because The Onion where I get 'fake' headlines from have some articles where the headline is true but the text is satire. Need to find a way to categorize those properly.
What if you explicitly target it with respect to the money?

Most of the crap on Google is going to be monetized sites. If you just block/downrank all the sites with e.g. ads, then the profit motive for spam goes down - the more value you extract, the less value you are able to extract.
First of all, EHLO (and HELO) are nearly non-essential to proper SMTP operation of email delivery but more about a rudimentary authentication factor of “please confirm who their mail server domain name is”.

If you trigger enough mismatched EHLO from their expected mailing domain name, into the spam dustbin, your IP address goes. And if their mail server is beefy, into the blackhole list (RBL/DNSBL) too!

It's not about the memory use. It's about the insane complexity.

An old grandma is looking for a little city car to take her to the neighborhood store. Solution: Use an Airbus A380. The fact that the engineers have made the plane weigh only 50 times as much as the city car is great, but it doesn't really change the fact that it's a crazy approach.
That's not defence. It fails the principle of least-surprise. If everyone's experience is that fsync is flushing then why would somebody think to look up the docs for Mac in case they do it differently?
how do you expect the producers of the content you consume to continue putting out the content you want to consume if they're unable to monetise that content?
The problem isn't that the default case is unsafe -- the problem is that the safe case is so extremely slow.
> existing Ethernet jumbo frames

9000 / 1500 = 6

> Enabling a packet size of 185,000 bytes

185000 / 1500 = 123.3

Jumbo would give you [up to] 6 times less packets for the same bandwidth => 6 times less overhead on the packet processing.

BIG TCP could give up to 123 times less packets (only theoretically, of course) but surely would dramatically lower the processing overhead for the big payloads.

Without reforming zoning, it is largely useless. Sure it might cause some improvements in places underutilizing their land but I think most places are using their land for the highest value thing it is zoned for.

If I have a SFH zoned for SFH in the heart of manhattan next to skyscrapers, the value of the land isn't based on the skyscrapers, it is based on what you can put on it and you can prove that by selling it for which nobody is going to pay as if you could put a skyscraper there.

> There is no way around the idea that education, like everything else, costs resources, time and money, that can be spent on other things. It's a totally valid thing to wonder whether it's the best use of that money there is.

Judging the benefit of education only on the financial bottomline is bound to underestimate its real value.

For example, a democracy can only function if citizens are able to process complex information to base their voting decisions on. Therefore it is in the interest of a democratic country that citizen have access to education, and that they can afford it.

> when education is subsidized, you're implicitly making the decision that it's more important to pay for that education than to pay for e.g. more help for the homeless, more money for healthcare, etc.

Education is correlated with health and longevity. Also, educated people are more likely to make sane life decisions and plan ahead. Therefore, by subsidising education, one likely reduces the number of homeless and the cost of public health.

But none of this is expressed in the calculation that measures the "value" of education by the personal financial gain an individual can achieve. Therefore I argue that this measure is not suitable to measure the value of education.
Use #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/bin/bash.

The former searches the user's PATH to find the bash binary.
The latter assumes it is always installed to /bin/ which can cause issues.

And the former assumes that `env` is installed in `/usr/bin`, so I am trading one assumption for another.
After reading that function, I know why I stay the heck away from bash programming.
only valid at the individual level.
There Is Too Much Stuff (2019)
That’s because when this country was still being settled, standing trees were an obstacle in the course of productively developing all this land, which, at the time, meant mostly agriculture. Before big machines arrived on the scene, getting rid of all of that heavy garbage was a lot of labor, and since there was a lot of trees around, and shipping them far away was way too expensive, there were few buyers, all of which made prices low. When all local trees were cut, land had been developed into farms and towns, and lumber needed to be shipped from further away, prices started going up.
So its basically implementation specific, and macOS has its own way of handling it.

Seems strange, there is no fundamental reason why a transaction should have to fit inside a single packet at a lower layer unless there is some nasty leaking of abstractions going on.
The way I solved this was by squinting a little and realizing that every time a div instruction happened, then a certain number following it needed to be 0, depending on the value of certain constants embedded in the code, and also on certain other fields in the input. So instead of starting with an input number, it is possible to calculate the min and max values the fields may contain right there, as long as we embed the field positions in a stack.

As this is only going through the input code once, this is virtually instantaneous and ended up as the day that was fastest of all days to compute.

I guess the solution could be classified as meta-analytical.

Accusations of 'greenwashing' by big oil companies are well-founded, new study
I think you are missing a subtlety. You are quite right that the cost of housing is determined by supply and demand. However, neither side of the equation is fixed. You can create more supply by building more houses. However, construction has a cost. This effectively creates a floor price below which supply will not increase. You cannot realistically drive the price below this floor unless demand is falling.

Well, taking it to absurd levels it would be something like if Spotify were to claim they are 'selling' songs to people who are currently listening to them and they are 'returned' when people stop, with Spotify just paying royalties over the difference.

The situation with audiobooks is far less extreme, but there is a cost attached to lenient return policies. Though you'd expect Amazon to be losing more money on it than the authors, so it's more like the authors disagree with Amazon's business model.

The same argument applies if you pick a different alternative, though. Money you choose to spend on education (with all its knock-on effects in homelessness, public health, employment, and so on) is money you can't spend on street cleaning, road maintenance, whatever, but also the investment you're making via education in the future homelessness problem is money you can't spend on acute homelessness problems today that can't be reached by education because it's too late for the people involved.
You can still fire people for incompetence. Its also just as important to do root cause analysis with incompetence as malice.

In the cop example, if everyone is turning off their camera because the interface is terrible and if you don't do it just right - that problem requires a very different solution than if they were intentionally turning it off. If you assume it must be malice the fixes will be wrong and not accomplish anything. That doesn't imply that malice is impossible, just that you shouldn't assume it without investigation.

Maybe I shouldn't pick a battle with someone that has that handle .

But, in all seriousness, you're right - you're making a trade. The question is which side of the trade is more portable. I use NixOS which doesn't have bash in /bin. So, I've had to ask people on my team to replace the hashbang. The /usr/bin/env hashbang has yet to fail on any machine so, anecdotally, it seems more portable.
how can i compile microsofts code? and there are easily systems which are so complex if you compile them the wrong way, you get other behaviour or more bugs.

and it may be also human error, not a conspiracy theory. if you do not have the source code and the recipe to build it yourself than you can not guarantuee that the inspected sourcecode (which was given to you either by disk or by a datablob over the internet) is the binary which you are currently running on your windows.

hell, perhaps they shipped an update which broke an security measure, and the update was shipped after you inspected the source.
And I keep my SSH agents entirely down and disabled too for many security reason.

Stick with the publickey and more so the SK certificates.

As a kid, Visual Basic allowed me to write my first shareware, ship it and get sales (not a huge amount, but I think I made about 6000 USD total, which was great as an high school student). I'll agree that it was not a great tool, there were many limitations, very stupid bugs (Visual Basic had very weird behavior in non English Windows) but it got the job done and introduced me to programming.

If you are referencing property taxes funding schools, you should know that it actually only funds about half of total school funding. The other half comes from federal and state governments and the way they give out funding is to selectively counteract that misallocation such that 47 states actually allocate more per-student funding to poor areas than to wealthier ones and according to this article [0], it has been this way since at least 1995.

So if you actually informed people that the wealthy areas don't get more funding, I don't see why it would be an issue.

The general theme of the article is too many choices in shopping, however this connects with the general psychological concept of Overchoice[0][1] whereas it can be more difficult to make a decision when you have many different choices and very little information to use to pick between them.

From the shopping angle I think this is relevant to modern times due to the supply chain issues and questioning on do we need a lot of the crap available to buy.

On the overchoice angle I think you can connect it with many things, a couple that come to mind is the increasing homogenisation of world culture, particularly in the western direction, and people becoming lost on the internet because there is so to speak too much there and no way of knowing what is good to pay attention to and what is not (there was a thread on this recently here).

I hope this may provide some stimulating discussion.

Making AltspaceVR a Safer Space
The building code certainly allows homes to be built with 3 foot brick walls, but home builder building 100 cookie cutter homes on a plot of land are in it for the money (despite saying they are in it to build peoples dreams in their ads).

They build using the cheapest methods allowed by law, see the choice to build with fireproof cladding (£24 psm) vs flamable (£22 psm). Building codes are about setting a floor in the construction quality, not a ceiling (pun intended).
I remember this post[0], here, a while back.

I’ve been shipping (as opposed to coding), for my entire adult life, and I’ve learned (the hard way, of course) that “ship” is always at least a couple of clicks back from “bleeding edge.”

I’m in the home stretch of an app that I’ve been developing for the last year and a half, or so.

The backend is written in PHP, and the frontend is a “classic” UIKit/Storyboard/MVC app, as opposed to a SwiftUI/Combine/MVVM project.

It’s fairly ambitious, and, when I started, I was not confident that “the bleeding edge” would work (it might have, but I didn’t know that it would). There was no question that the classic patterns would work, so I picked them.

It’s coming along great; far better than I had originally envisioned the project. It is ultra-high-quality, fully native, with only one small external (meaning that I didn't write it, myself) dependency (the backend has zero dependencies), has many capabilities that have only appeared in the last couple of OS releases, is easily localized, conforms to multiple device configurations, dark mode, accessibility features, etc.

I read (here), about a well-known app that had been a highly successful classic native app (probably written in ObjC) that was supposed to be rewritten in SwiftUI, but the project failed, and was eventually shipped in Electron. That’s kind of my worst nightmare. I suspect the developers had to put clothespins on their noses, for much of the project.

I will be releasing software, using more cutting edge tech, but all in good time. It’s unlikely to be “cutting edge,” by the time I use it. I like to give the stack enough time to smooth off the rough edges, before I rely on it for ship.

I know that many fairly well-known applications for Apple platforms, are still written in Objective-C. Even Apple still uses it, for some of its internal tooling.

I will admit that one gamble I took, was jumping on the Swift bandwagon, almost immediately, but there were multiple signals that it was not another OpenDoc[1], and that I could trust it. I’m fairly conservative about bandwagons. It’s earned me more than a few sneers (especially since I’m an older chap), but -and this bears repeating-, I’ve spent my entire adult life, delivering finished software. It’s not always been great software, and it has not always been commercially successful, but it has all been “finished.”

There was a post here, some time back, where the author challenged the reader to mention three projects in their career that they had finished. My comment was that I could mention thirty, and point to the repos. This was met with incredulity, which shocked me, as I have known many developers, far more productive than I. I guess times have changed.

Thank you good list, and yeah I get that it's a closed source system but wouldn't it be cool if the FOSS community was able to reverse engineer it?

I respectfully disagree. Like I said in the article, transmitting the password, rather than some form of token, means that this approach is exactly as insecure as HTTP basic auth over TLS, and how many serious enterprise apps use that?

>> we'd probably be better off using some sort of PAKE protocol

Yes, that's my whole point. This problem has been solved, there are tons of libraries, it's not that hard. Why have a weak link like this?

If everything is secured correctly, this is not a vulnerability, but how often are things 100% secured properly? TLS is fine, but many people use a self-signed certificate, which means a MITM attack is often possible. It's bad enough to have someone snoop on your connection, but to have your password compromised... And if your client is not Windows, it often has to use database authentication.

This just stinks. It's especially surprising in an enterprise-class system like SQL Server.
