I wonder what is actually looked at or calculated for number of bedrooms and services offered. In my opinion, people's preferences for more stuff/room/services are what drives housing prices in general, especially location.

It seems racist to call people who are concerned about the project racists. Some of them may be, but some of those people concerned about traffic may have legitimate concerns. I've seen it for fancy developments too.

Yep! It was an easy kill for sure!
Which applications are affected by this? For example, when the user runs `docker rm`, does that even trigger a thread kill signal? Or perhaps a different mechanism initiates container death.

Does Docker use one host process per container?

I can imagine a scenario where a Web server recognizes that a thread is unhealthy and needs to kill it. Though green threads are becoming more common these days.

Another thing that is becoming more common these days is running long lived services as Kubernetes pods, where the service automatically restarts in a better state if needed, including when memory runs out.

Perhaps some drivers or kernel components use threads and need to manually deallocate their memory? But most applications are still single process, single thread these days.
> With this heatmap, the center 4 squares are the best place for your first shot

Surely the right strategy is some kind of mixed strategy. If you always go for the centre squares on your first shot, your opponent can exploit this by not placing ships there.
A key point of this seems to be assuming that the other players place their ships at random, which obviously isn't true when humans are playing. For example, "hiding" a ship on the edge is super common behavior from people I've played against, despite the author's heatmap suggesting edges are one of the _least_ likely places.

I guess this could use a bit of context (author here). This is part of a series of PGP advocacy articles [1]. There was a post of "Seriously, stop using RSA" on here yesterday that prompted me to look at my article again. A better article was possible so I rewrote it and posted it.

So, yes, this is very focused and partisan by design. There is a larger discussion about RSA that I chose to ignore.

Yeah, sure. We got all these smart people in a room. They can't be wrong. /s

I'd actually say the opposite. These researches are probably making hiring worse.

There's a lot of misinformation in the comments posted here. Maybe this bit of information will help.
The phrase "terahertz radiation" refers specifically to the band of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between 0.1 THz and 10 THz. The boundaries are arbitrary, and not well agreed upon. Some people say 0.3-30 THz, instead. But the basic idea is the same: it is the realm of the spectrum that lies between the region of microwaves and the region of infrared. It has historically also been called "far infrared" and "submillimeter waves" (submillimeter refers to the wavelength). When people say "terahertz radiation", they are NOT referring to visible light (which has a frequency of hundreds of terahertz).

My evaluation of the text of this article is that it is mostly accurate, although sometimes some concepts are skimmed over a bit quickly. There is one blatantly false comment about the propagation distance for terahertz radiation in air being limited to "a few dozen meters" - that's just plain false. But other than that, everything he wrote is reasonable.
Are you really advocating people take sick days to interview for other jobs?
My understanding is that pointer types all use dynamic dispatch in practice, because they share the same "gcshape" under the hood, today. Obviously this is very coarse grained.

However, the article points out this will likely change in the future, since the compiler now has enough information to do so. The Go team made a good call imo resisting to optimize this. Now, they can observe how generics are used in the global Go community and then optimize using real world code.

In fact, optimize is an understatement, because dyn dispatch vs monomorphization is a trade-off between compilation time + binary size vs speed (as C++ and Rust programmers know too well). Optimizing early based on microbenchmarks would likely have given an advantage in favor of monomorphization, but may not be suitable for average-to-large binaries in the a generic-heavy future. I assume the team wants to find a good balance for the 99%, and avoid compiler flags, hint-syntax, profile guided optimizations and so on if they can..

That inefficiency was created at a time when the US was the only significant industrial power.

We no longer have extra factory capacity from the second world war or armies of returning GIs to work in those factories or buy those products. We now have to compete on the world stage against other economies we're poorly matched to beat.

Unless of course the luxury housing gets periodically torn down and rebuilt or remodeled making it even higher end housing. If the core neighborhood is already high-rent and or desirable real estate, why would high cost real estate buildings somehow allow themselves become low rent?
Probably because it doesn't meet the preferences of renters/owners. It seems preferences drive housing cost in general. There certainly don't seem to be many (any?) new Craftsman 800 sqft houses today. Although this article seems to be more about high density apt/condos, the resource utilization of the dominate preference (larger, fancier, sfh) can affect the overall housing system (material, local labor costs).

Edit: why downvote with no reply? It seems this topic must be highly political with all the unexplained downvoting with no debate.
> When they did Google Maps, did they have 7 interview processes?

Actually, the original work for Google Maps was done by three companies that Google acquired:

> Google Maps first started as a C++ program designed by two Danish brothers, Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen, and Noel Gordon and Stephen Ma, at the Sydney-based company Where 2 Technologies. It was first designed to be separately downloaded by users, but the company later pitched the idea for a purely Web-based product to Google management, changing the method of distribution. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google Inc. where it transformed into the web application Google Maps.

In the same month, Google acquired Keyhole, a geospatial data visualization company (with investment from the CIA), whose marquee application suite, Earth Viewer, emerged as the highly successful Google Earth application in 2005 while other aspects of its core technology were integrated into Google Maps. In September 2004, Google acquired ZipDash, a company that provided realtime traffic analysis.

Android was also acquired:

Some of the things that Google is best known for were not invented by Google employees.
This reminds me that Dr. Todd Gureckis, a researcher at NYU, has some work looking at inferring which hypothesis-testing strategies people are using as they play (a version of) battleship. The three strategies he and his colleagues identify are a 'naive' or 'positive-testing strategy', an 'label entropy reduction strategy' and an 'information gain' strategy.

The work is described in "A preference for the unpredictable over the informative during self-directed learning." It is an interesting paper. If you are interested in this post, you might like it:

I remember working at Compaq doing server support, clocking off at 5:30, and someone would fire up a Quaker 2 server. Roughly 20 people in the office would stay back to play for an hour. The mods were awesome. Someone had a Homer Simpson skin with about 10 different vocal samples for various damage. Best LAN sessions I ever had, I think.

I think the best commercial arena shooters were Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament 2004. Played the hell out of those at LAN parties.

For years I didn't game. I was never into solo play. However, about a year ago while working at a small start-up we decided to have a quick daily Deathmatch and settled on Xonotic (similar to Q3/UT2004) and I've actually been playing it a few times a week since. Absolutely love the fast pace arena stuff.
>no one who isn’t(crazy) is going to feel calmed or feel their anxiety relieved by amphetamines.

This is false. Pretty much all people will experience a higher level of focus, calmer(less racing thoughts) on amphetamines.
Even though we know our computers are "all electrical" in nature, don't we admit that there are software/state problems which can exhibit themselves even if every part of the computer is functioning correctly as an individual electrical component? You cannot find the broken part to fix which will resolve the problem that emerges from an unfortunate set of values stored in the circuits.

I think that is the metaphorical mapping intended by the earlier poster, that a problem can be cognitive rather than chemical.
I started making mashups using Sony Vegas (Windows) in early 2013 as a byproduct of creating videos. I did this for a few years and made 100+. At the bottom of my music page (link in bio,) there is a YT playlist of some that I re-hashed last year.
It's also hard to untangle from other things. For example, car drivers are subsidised heavily by road infrastructure being paid for by general taxation.

However, those same roads also allow rapid and fine-grained transport of almost everything physical that anyone in society uses: food, clothes, furniture, building materials, most industrial materials, machinery and components all probably were moved on a truck at some point. Probably the only thing that likely didn't is water, and even then the treatment chemicals did. Even if goods moved from ports to regional hubs by train (which they probably should), you still need to move them by road from the hubs (and again if they are used to produce other goods). Much as I love trains, they're no good for delivering 1000kg to a specific urban building, and much as I love bicycles, neither are they.

So, much of that road that counts for the cost of the car drivers would still exist even if the cars didn't. Even in the suburbs you will still need houses to be visited by vehicles sometimes, even if only for construction or emergency purposes.

Moreover, because the vehicles that would be left are physically large and heavy (heavy goods vehicles, emergency vehicles, public transport and construction equipment), the cost of roads would not substantially decrease even if you deleted every car, since it's those vehicles that dictate minimum road strength and that wear roads most in the first place.
Good idea! I should learn about the conventional sections in repo documentations.

> Anybody up for an argument that the government should have custody of and raise all children?

That's either a bit strong or a bit already true, depending on how you look at it; the state sets boundaries and responsibilities on the relationships parents have with children, and if they violate those boundaries or fail to live up to those responsibilities, the legal relationship between parent and child can be terminated.

I'm for it is a more practical way. It is the state's responsibility to be good at raising children, because some children will have no family to take care of them. We (at least in the US) horribly fail at this, which is a clear signal that our society is selfish and irresponsible. This should be changed. People with shitty parents should be jealous of state wards. If we can't be successful when we have complete control, we shouldn't have much to say about how well parents are doing except in the cases of gross neglect and abuse.

We can't figure out what to do with constituencies that don't have lobbyists.
Light IS an electromagnetic wave, so to say it has similar properties to EM waves is kind of like saying that pizza has similar properties to food.

Also not sure what you mean by "needs a vacuum to make it possible" seeing as we generate terahertz radiation in air all the time, using a variety of techniques that use off-the-shelf commercial products.

As far as I can tell, the article doesn't say very much that is outright false, although for sure he glosses over some fairly complex concepts with very little detail in a few cases. His statement about "a few dozen meters" of propagation range is outright false, but other than that he more or less got the facts right.
>but that was never actually an economically viable product

It is the most economically viable product, which is why they dominate.

>for four to sixteen units that seems like it could be fine?

Those costs have also skyrocketed because now you have additional requirements like fire, egress, additional structural when going over two stories, etc.

It's why most new apartments are "luxury" apartments. The costs have grown so out of control that the only way to break even is to make them outrageously priced.
If you don’t build new luxury housing, then the top end goes to the next best thing, and the next to the next best, and so on. Building more helps increase total supply which alleviates pressure everywhere.
If a stock I own ever doubles, I sell half and put the proceeds into an index tracker. Knowing that I've got the money back and it's (relatively) safe makes it much easier for me to be rational about how I treat the remainder. Obviously that might just be my own mindset...

This type of super-specialized infrastructure always fascinates me. Clearly there is a lot of value for forensic investigators to have a dedicated site for this kind of research, but there is a fairly limited amount of demand too so there will never be a lot of these sites.

It does not say that we can't produce terahertz. It says that there are no consumer products that make use of terahertz, because (among other reasons) producing it is more challenging than, say, producing microwaves. That statement is correct.

When people say "terahertz radiation", they do NOT mean visible light. They are referring to radiation between (roughly) 0.1-10 THz, which is much lower frequency than visible light.
Context: I have a PhD in genomics

The label “junk DNA” was one of the biggest mistakes in the history of genetics. A lot of high school textbooks still reference this term and it’s worse than misleading.

In many ways, non-coding DNA is just as important as the parts of the genome that code for proteins. Non-coding DNA determines expression levels, genome confirmation (shape), and replication efficiency among other things.

The term junk DNA misleads students into thinking that these sections of DNA play little part in how a cell functions. Quite the opposite, the “junk DNA” is responsible for orchestrating the “non-junk” bits.

What is going on in this thread, I cannot explain.
My guy, the parent commenter has been suffering for decades. It’s not unreasonable to try new ideas at this point, nor is it unreasonable to assume that mainstream medicine has done what it can. The cost of the test is relatively low, and the risks of taking SAMe or L-methionine are low as well. The only risk here is that to the bottom line of the AMA cartel.

The test I linked is the same one that I had taken, don’t judge a book by its cover.

It’s not a catch all for everything, that’s why I suggested a $200 test, not a $20 supplement.

> Extending that to be a wide-scale affliction of the population is the mistake.

The very real pandemic of not-my-problem-itis is what led to this, with Obamacare making it into a gasoline fire. Good for profits, bad for life expectancy.

> the medical community unanimously agrees (see my references above).

The whole premise of that Cleveland Clinic article is based on the idea that genetic testing costs thousands of dollars as it does under the AMA cartel prices. Mayo Clinic for example charges $7000 for a few dozen generic markers. The genetic test I suggested is $99, and you get the entire part of the genome that has variations among humans. I would agree with the article that you shouldn’t pay an arm and a leg for a single genetic marker, but that’s not what we are talking about here.
A test that never fails is a slow comment.
