No. I can't get fired, and I actively choose to try to make my coworkers feel comfortable. Is things like flagging "landlord" a big goofy? Maybe. But there's a ton of unconscious biases that go into language, and I'm always happy to have things flagged so I can make a decision via an opt-in feature.

If you think people are only being inclusive and non-inflammatory to not get fired, I think maybe you simply just don't understand that some people are genuinely caring and empathetic.
You make this claim as if this happens to every company sooner or later, but if a company the size of GitHub can still do without (

It's frustrating that on one hand you want to hit a decent amount of sodium per day for the optimal operation of one's body, while at the same time if you go over 2500mg of sodium per day, you increase the likelihood of building kidney stones.. there's no way to win, from what I can tell. Is there a trick here or is that just the way the human body is built, and that's that?
I've frequently (more than once a year) seen "Free pound of bananas" coupons as part of circulars/loyalty coupons at supermarkets I've been to (sometimes not even requiring further purchase). I've worked in advertising and marketing for checks watch years and am familiar with all sorts of different offer types and sales models. Free or Nearly Free bananas would seem relatively reasonable, and if I didn't frequent the store enough to know they always have a "cute" sign with nonsense prices, I would still be livid if the price wasn't honored.

Not just that, but our lifestyles have changed entirely. How many outfits did people own? How many cars? How often did they eat out? What kind of entertainment did they enjoy, and how often?

People could generally meet their basic needs because those were the only things they spent money on. Life was exceedingly bare-bones. Houses were small. Your life revolved around your job. You cooked all your own meals. You entertained yourself. The list goes on.

All of that said, house prices are alone just bad example. If you went somewhere with cheap land and no red tape, you could get a 70's house at 70's prices (adjusted for inflation) still.

By some interpretations, sentience is the original sin (or at least the consequence of it.) Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, after all, and if you take the serpent at its word, the knowledge was to "be like God, knowing both good and evil."

Then again, the original sin is more likely to be disobeying God to begin with. Although that leads to a chicken and egg question of how it was possible for Adam and Eve to be talked into disobeying God to begin with if humans didn't have the capacity to sin at the time.

That's good but not good enough. Because many foreign buyers are Canadian in name only. So the measure will not succeed.

The Astronaut families(1) need to be cut out of the housing market. An Astronaut family is a privileged family where typically the husband works in Asia for high income and low or no tax, while the wife and children live in Canada. They don't declare their foreign income (2).

>A revealing new “super-diversity” website created by a University of B.C. geographer, Daniel Hiebert, shows nine of 10 recent Chinese immigrants arrive in Metro Vancouver with enough money to immediately buy homes. But only half hold down jobs during their first five years in Canada, while four of 10 report they’re surviving on low incomes.

They are eligible for low income benefits, free healthcare, subsidized education at world class universities (3). They make money in a low tax, low social safety net jurisdiction and live in a high income tax high safety net one.

They are taking advantage of an income/tax arbitrage that needs to be closed.

Many disadvantaged POC immigrants want to come to Canada to improve their lives and the country. But the privileged families take away their spots, increase housing prices, segregate themselves, and contribute little.

> more luxury housing can make an area more desirable

Depends how big the "area" is that you're thinking about. The effect of increasing housing supply is well-studied. Demand can only grow as fast as the population does. If one area experiences increasing demand, then another area will have decreasing demand, comparatively.
If this is left unchallenged, G docs and MS docs will soon prevent you from using certain words, be it the word 'master' in the US or 'Tibet' in China, then the censorship will advance to browsers, so Chrome and Safari will have a strong opinion on what you can write on HN, then it will spill onto phones, so your private chats over sms or whatsapp will be censored by your phone.

Ask HN: My process only gets scheduled on M1 efficiency cores
Not sure where else to post

I work on some CPU intensive software written in C++ and multithreaded with with OpenMP. This software has not been scaling how I would expect on my M1 Max MacBook. Notably, when I use 10 threads I see in activity monitor that the process has the expected number of threads but only seems to be getting scheduled on the the two efficiency cores for long runs. This is not ideal.

I’m not sure where to begin diagnosing this issue. Some relevant information:

* I’ve been using the llvm-13 toolchain packaged by home-brew since the toolchain included with macOS does not support openMP

* Simple OpenMP for loops behave how I would expect and seem to get scheduled to all cores. The issue seems to be for long-running processes.

* For the project in question, the runtime bottle neck of the code is the OpenMP accelerated solvers from AMGCL, and this is where I get hit with the only-getting-scheduled-on-efficiency cores issue.

\* https://github.com/ddemidov/amgcl

\* There doesn’t seem to be any unusual OpenMP primitives in AMGCL

* Using OMP_NUM_THREADS to use less than 10 threads (like 2 - 6), the process sometimes gets scheduled on performance cores, but this does not seem to be a guarantee.

What are some tools / leads for diagnosing why my the simulation process tends to get scheduled onto efficiency cores? What are some options for changing how my process get scheduled?

Is this satire, are you really advocating building houses with an expected life-span of 40 years? So if i buy a new house when im 30, i should expect to have to buy new if i live to be more than 70 and I havent moved.

If we assume your idea of close to perfectly recyclable houses comes true, i think people would have to really dial down their expectations and standards. No more drywall, particle boards everywhere. Tiles.. forget it, kitchen counters made by reclaimed wood etc

> Instead it seems like a buzzword (?) for a weirdly niche way of running things that someone with a 4 Euro/Month nginx instance that hosts 10 websites will probably never understand.

That's exactly it. It's a way to intermittently run a piece of code in a managed environment. You're basically guaranteed that the environment is setup, and that the code will start up and execute. That is basically it.

People are extremely enamoured with it, for no apparent reason. The only usecase I've found for myself so far is running small analytics BigQuery queries to look for easily detectable anomalies once a day and send a Slack message if something's wrong. This way you avoid etting up a separate Kubernetes job etc. Makes no sense outside of GCP.

No, not "most". It's 30% or 40% of people. That's not "most". In particular, it's not enough to dominate the statistics.

Let me say very clearly: It's far too many people. I don't care if it's less than a majority, and I don't care if it swings the overall statistics. It's still too many people that are being economically destroyed.
Your D&I consultant is saying this because those words make certain demographics less likely to apply. They aren't trying to police language; they're trying to help whomever hired them increase the diversity of the people who apply.

Strange argument to switch to. If your day to day life is better because you live near where you eat and work and obtain healthcare and what not, isn't sort of hard to argue against? Where's the downside to this efficiency? It looks to me like an entirely win-win situation for the individual and society. Sometimes efficiency translates directly into resiliency. In your argument, proximity and density makes urban populations easier and cheaper to deliver to.
> Title insurance for very expensive homes in NYC is around $10k. Closing costs were much much more.

That kind of makes sense, though. Isn't that insurance against the possibility that you bought the property from someone who did not actually own it, so basically insuring against a total loss?

IIRC, a Torrens title would deal with that possibility, but my understanding is it as a consequence introduces other issues.

Understanding Michael Porter by Joan Magretta and Co-opetition by Barry Nalebuff and Adam M. Brandenburger are the two best books I've ever read about business and strategy in my life... and 20+ years in tech tells me these are relevant in any industry - even fast moving ones. The five tests of a good strategy in particular, from Margretta's book, are amazing and are about building sustainable competitive advantage in positive sum competition.

Porter has written a lot and five forces was originally in a very different context, but the real thrust of Competitive Strategy (the giant book) was about taking the time to do the homework. And that hasn't changed. You still need to do the homework. Porter was never, in any of my reading of his work, about destroying the competition... at was all about creating and capturing value.

And these books aren't easy "how to's" they're mental models for approaching things. Like von Clausewitz or Sun Tzu your mileage will vary with the creativity you apply in the comprehension and then application. There is a lot more creativity in competition and strategy than most people realize.

"Japs" is a slur.
There's a path dependency problem. In principle, had you just been building housing like that all along, investing in housing is not appealing as you shouldn't see significant gains in general. However, now that it is appealing, the investment itself pushes up demand, which pushes up the appeal of investing because now prices are going up, which pushes up demand, etc.

Again, in principle, if you just keep building, the market would eventually sort this out. Of course, in the process, you'll overbuild housing proportionally to the investment demand. Once the investment demand leaves, the market will crash, which isn't necessarily a great plan either. And we are talking about a lot of finite resources being misallocated in the meantime, while the market forces figure this out.

If you'd like to resolve this problem faster than the market would naturally sort it out, and harness market forces to do so rather than naively fighting them, it makes sense to cut out the excess, artificial investment demand in the meantime. Sure, it would be better to have not created that problem in the first place, but, here we are.

Extrapolating this line of thought: Let us say, two identical twins are brought up the exact same way. Can we be certain they will have exact same longevity?

Their genetic make up might be similar but there are trillions of stochastic processes happening every moment at the cellular, and each one is capable of a cascade effect in the long run. I think it would be reasonable to assume that scale of precise personalized prediction / recommendation will be a distant possibility, if ever it is even possible.

We might get capable of creating extremely good probabilistic models however, with less than a quarter of the modeling resources by quantifying the different parameters of life taken statistically (e.g. average calorific intake, medicine dependence, exercise etc). That might actually get very close to examining the uncertainty about health & longevity.

Anecdotally, in Glasgow, it is still far more common to hear “I’m going out for a fag” than “i’m going out for a cig” - maybe 5 to 1-ish more common.

That said, smoking is pretty rare these days, certainly compared to ~20 years ago when the indoor ban was introduced.

There’s plenty of the population here would draw a blank and look at you confused if you tried to use the word as a slur - they’d eventually get what you mean but the slur term is not really used here, it’d be jarring to hear someone use the word that way.

One person’s view of Glasgow… YMMV.
> It also supports multi-boot functionality, allowing you to install more than one operating system and choose which to run at startup.

That's cool! Although I don't personally multiboot, I love the idea of phones moving to close the gap with regular computers in terms of potential and functionality. I hope Ubuntu Touch (one of the supported operating systems) grows and it encourages other operating systems like OpenBSD to support phones as well. In the future it would be so cool to connect a full keyboard to a phone, write code in vi, cast the screen to a TV. Or connect a mouse and do some graphics work with GIMP. Then unplug and keep using it as a phone for calls and texts. There's no reason that new phones can't be used as general purpose computers - just think of them as sort of a Raspberry Pi with a cellular modem and an attached touchscreen. Today's phones are pretty powerful and we should dream big about how we can use them in new and interesting ways.
The rate of income property ownership is the same across all federal caucuses (including the NDP). Singling out one party for the transgressions of all parties does not prove any point other than maybe a personal partisan bias.

The fact is the party political system in Canada is heavily biased towards the wealthy. Heck, in Ontario MPPs don't even get a pension so you you have to not only be wealthy to join the game but already self-supporting into retirement to be willing to consider it. You can only rely on politicians carrying through on their virtue signalling to do the right thing for the rest of us, so I'm not willing to criticize any of them for it.
