The US market is far from the invisible hand. There is a massive hand with a club attached called the Federal Reserve, which has artificially held down interest rates resulting in a major manipulation of the housing market.

Additionally, there are numerous governmental restrictions on minimum square footage, sometimes onerous building codes, impact fees, and zoning restrictions to name a few.
When I was 'shopping' for a loan (in Sweden) I got an explicit price list. As in "our base rate is X%, if both of you move your main account here we'll offer you Y% and if also you move your home and car insurance to the insurance company we own then we'll offer you Z%"

Noted Survived Top 3 on Hacker News – How Did It Affect My Homelab?
Maybe you just know subconsciously you would be working more efficiently with the frameworks you do already know, so you have no incentive to learn a third (other than unwillingness to change jobs).
Stupid question... is the problem with not enough land (eg. if you want to live in manhattan, you literally have nowhere to build, unless you demolish something else),... or is there enough buildable (physically) land in "near-enough-to-commute" locations, but the government doesn't allow people to build (large enough) housing there?
They probably went like my previous client through a cycle of starting with a single text file of bad words --> to integrating with one proper swearing service (pottymouth, cleanspeak, etc. --> to several services in fallback mode in several languages --> to realising with their traffic that costs a bomb so to back to static files again. Hopefully i18n bundles but probably as you say just in a couple languages.

Thanks. Signed up to my group tennis lessons again. In the past (also living as expat in other countries- USA - and Denmark), I have made a point to attend local Meetup events and ended up building my own social circle after a while. COVID times made that impossible and I didn’t realise the value of what I did by luck in the past.

I don't know, I opened nl.aliexpress.com in a private browser tab and immediately got the NSFW suggestion on first try.

The class of the div where the suggestions are placed is class="hot-words", so I would say this is the result of someone spamming the search box with nasty terms and AliExpress just showing them based on 'popularity'.

The learning process builds structures and systems in your brain to process information.

It's the difference between greenfield and brownfield development, only you can't demolish the old structures: you need to work around them.

That's the thing with the brain, there is no "delete" function. You have read and write capability, but no control over "forget".
I'm confused here. So from my understanding, Stripe plugs into the APIs of banks who already have them (like every other aggregator), then relies on existing aggregators for the 95% of banks who don't. In addition, your pricing is "in line" with "the market".

My question then, is: what is the upside here, then? As a hypothetical fintech developer, why do I choose Stripe for my use case over the established competition? Why would I want my end-user's credentials in transit between multiple companies, for the same price as the rest of the market, with no improvement in performance or uptime?
Yes I forgot that. But just building seems to be not as straightforward either as construction cost and regulation make building non-luxury housing difficult to justify economically. At least in denser urban areas.

This reminds me of another translation Aliexpress (used to?) make for the Dutch version. In English, "China" can mean 2 things:

- The country

- The ceramic material

In Dutch these have 2 different words("China" and "Porselein"). Aliexpress translated "China" in the "Shipping from" section to "Porselein"(so the ceramic material).

Obnoxious Co-Workers? Meet the Shut App from Mike the App Creator
Mike Ron from how2app, who goes under the name Mike The App Creator, was working in a coworking space and encountered an issue and issue with a coworker's being obnoxious and not mindful of others. Mike at first decide to ask coworkers to be quieter and noticed it wasn't working and how adverse the effects were and the negative vibes it put off. Staggeringly costly were the distractions and time lost. Instead of being rude to other people and making concessions, Mike decided to challenge himself and launch an app aimed at solving this exact issue. Meet the Shut App.

Shut App is designed to automate shushing other people and people were more responsive to the sounds coming from the App without involving Mike according to his YouTube video below.

Mike noticed a significant improvement in the appliance to be quieter in the co-working space. His app also got recognized in Shark and Mike raised more capital.

Sorry folks, if you are an IOS user, Mike didn't have the patience to develop an app. You are going to have to sit this one out—we know it's a complete bummer. A completely rad idea though. We look forward to seeing the app being launched to the IOS community.
Nothing is happening. Tried in both Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks!

That being said, I just played around with it for a few days. Some people praise it, after having gone through a few years on and off:

> I wasn’t convinced right away. It took a few years. But after the usual stumbling around and frustration, I began to realize that this language was the easiest, most elegant, least imposing language I had ever used – and not by a small margin.

I also explored the language landscape, and Clojure projects on GitHub seem to have a low density of commits matching "fix OR fixed OR bugfix":

It's also on the brevity-popularity Pareto front of my bug-ridden analysis:

So I plan to look at it some more.
I suspect that the nuclear waste at Fukushima that they intend to release into the ocean is of that category very-low-level nuclear waste. 2.1gram of tritium diluted in 860,000 tons of water. Not sure how many Becquerels/gram that is, but I would be interested to know if its actually higher than the 0.1 of the banana.

Is there a minimum level for what can be called very-low-level nuclear waste?

(As a minor side note, someone should update wikipedia since VLLW does not seem to exist there as a category and waste with less than 100 kBq/kg is explicitly defined as LLW).

I have a theory that to answer the question “where does X come from?” you need a viewpoint outside of X. Since we're presumably incapable of attaining a viewpoint outside of space, or time, I wouldn't expect any answers beyond more or less educated guesses.
TL;DR - your expections are too high!!

You have picked up a hell of a lot of knowledge over a long period of time,

your expection or wish is to get to the same level of expertise in this new framework. So you're pushing yourself and become disillusioned with the speed of progress.
I think parent comment is about the blog, not Aliexpress.

There is no 100% safe anywhere. Does your JS code handle out of memory errors with try-catch? No, it will abort as if nothing happened at all.

Sure, there are bugs in every code but unexpectedly panicking is considered a bug in a library so in my not too extensive experience with rust libs, these are not the norm at all. So simply writing code where you yourself don’t panic should give you quite a high chance of not hitting this case ever.
I don't think Aliexpress sells fornicating women. I have no clue why anyone would type in that - if anyone is looking for adult-oriented entertainment, add "dvd" or "film" (both have exact same spelling + meaning in dutch).

Aliexpress is (as far as i know) a place where you buy things. This suggestion is not abuyable thing.

Maybe the price is guaranteed not to increase past $0.10? But over the long-term, computing cost should fall, otherwise something is seriously wrong.

There are actually several programming languages based on languages other than English, although I don't think any of them have ever been used for serious projects:

Just here to note that I also had a little smile about this.
What has kept me from trying fly.io is that you need to sign up with a credit card before trying out the service. So when evaluating a bunch of options for a company, I ignored fly because I'd either need to use the company card (a hassle) or use my own card (another hassle especially if having to deal with expenses). Yes it was supposedly "free tier" but there was no indication of whether it was possible, even accidentally, to exceed the free tier - for example leaving a forgotten app running. Gave me bad AWS vibes.

All the other services (heroku, render, railway) let me try out at least a toy app without having to use a card. That allowed me to evaluate whether the service was compatible with our needs without any further commitment.
It annoys me when they compare countries and don't consider income tax - you don't pay with pre tax income...

If you earn 150k in High Tax Euro Country you're losing 50% of that. In low tax US state you're closer to 33%. Thats the difference between 75k and 100k.
> > It says the UK media largely ignored the Snowden leaks due to a D-Notice

> The Guardian might have been "crucified" for their reporting, but they did report on it.

a few things;

1) "largely ignored" does not mean universally ignored, 1 outlet reporting on it does not mean that the "large majority" of british media didn't ignore the leaks.

2) Guardian didn't ignore the d-notice either, they made a choice to die on that hill, and they were dragged through the coals for it. D-Notices' are supposedly voluntary, otherwise there would be more outrage.

3) this serves as a warning to the other outlets.

4) the guardian was already in reporting and disseminating the contents directly with Snowden before the d-notice was issued.
It’s not incorrect, either. I phrased it carefully, to indicate that I don’t know for sure. It describes my grandparents’ house, in Liverpool (I assume it was a “leasehold.” I never knew the official name). I know that my mother did not inherit their house, but there may have been other factors, involved.

Technically, I guess I don’t “own” my own land, either, but I pay (significant) taxes on it (because I “own” it, according to the taxing authorities. They don’t tax the bank; they tax me). The taxes are assessed on the total value of the land and the building, and location^3 is a fairly significant coefficient.

Land is a weird (but frequently lucrative) investment. You can’t lock it in a safe, and, if your neighbors start a hog farm, you can’t just pick it up and move away.

There's a lot of land. New Zealand is about the 2/3rds the size of California. It just has to do with lack of development. About the same size if you include the habitable land / non desert.
I wrote my first program in 1967 or 1968, so yes I can program without the internet. Programming for a couple of decades before the internet existed got me into the habit of relying on manuals (like IBM 360 Principles of Operation [1]) and books (for example, Daniel McCracken‘s A Guide to Fortran IV Programming [2]). To this day I rely on books more than my colleagues.

Although I can program without the internet, I much prefer having the internet at hand—-programming with the internet is a much better experience. So, my large library isn’t really necessary for the task.

Ah, but are the fruit fly eggs on the banana peel or in it?

I do have a friend who insists on washing a banana before peeling it, and washing an avocado before cutting into it. At first I thought it was silly, but it actually makes sense.

You're probably going to touch the banana with the same hands you got dirty from the peel, and the knife could push anything icky on the outside of the avocado peel into the delicious fruit.

Frankly, I love Java's checked and un-checked exceptions differentiation even if the standard library is confused about it.

Make logical exceptions (depending on purpose of interface) into checked-exceptions. Make system exceptions into un-checked exceptions. Document in javadoc with `@throws`

A higher level module can wrap and re-throw into the appropriate exception if needed.

Error handling can be done in the desired place instead of scattered across the code.
Which programming language are you using to write your LaTeX replacement? There are PDF libraries available in most languages (granted, there is wide spectrum of them with respect to how much/good they implement the PDF specification).
No, 5G have lots of range. Its no worse than 4G, it just depends on the frequencies that the carrier have rolled it out on.

If its rolled out on 26ghz its bad in range.
Sub 6 GHZ 5G rollout is as good or better than 4G on the same frequencies.

My carrier have rolled out 5G on 700 MHZ and I am seeing better coverage than their 4G network.
> I use the Caddy webserver

I used to love Caddy. Not so after the move to 2.0 when they got the json formatted config thing going on. Of course there is still Caddyfile but most of the time I'm bashing my head on their json focused documentation page to find out how can I do that same thing from a config file. I'm pretty sure there might be somewhere but I don't want to read a book I just need a nice quick web server that runs from a single binary like v1 did.

You're proving my point. Any criticism must be an attack (e.g. suckerpunch in this case) and must be met with heckling and banning. Zig is no wonderland, but I haven't experienced things like the creator of the language personally engaging in almost every drama and banning community members.
New Zealand has lots of land available. Zoning can be an issue. That said we have very low density housing.

I think compliance costs and times don't help. Neither does our building code. We should allow the use of materials that have been approved in more advanced countries like Germany.

The real cause has been low interest rates. People borrow as much as they can. At sub 2% rates they can borrow a lot and are pushing prices up.
But you don't even have that choice. I'm OK with running binary blob drivers on my Linux machine (if they work).

And since I'm running a reasonably recent GPU, it could be conceivable that all decoding is done on the GPU itself and sent directly to the monitor, which supports HDCP.
UK produced shows are going the same way though. Inter-racial families, asian/black detectives and police chiefs, people living in million pound homes despite having average income jobs, etc.

For me VB6 was the pinnacle of GUI design/rapid prototyping.

I know that many people are going to say I'm wrong and that VB6 was a cancer, but hear me out:

o Drag and drop GUI designer

o action oriented language

o surprisingly advanced integrated IDE

o It was easy, simple and reasonably fun to learn

I know why QT/GTK and various other GUI systems use a HTML-y grid layout, but for me personally, I always struggle to make nice looking, well laid out, functional GUIs with them.

You had a depressive episode, and you recovered.

It's not getting older, but the fact that time heals most brains just like exercise and antidepressants do. About 70% recover within 12 months [1]

[1] - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12204924/

Edit:

OP said "Was depressed that [...]" and also mentions death of a loved one. Even if I'm wrong, personally I really wish someone mentioned MDD as a possibility to me earlier.

I felt similarly, and I thought all my focus and motivation problems were because I was lazy; but it was quite the opposite, I was fighting depression very hard.

I lost so many years of my life reading about death coping skills, optimizing diet and exercise, learning how to be less lazy (?) when it had absolutely nothing to do with any of those.
It does fit my experience and you'll find me as a lurker in the discord. Though I'm not surprised you haven't noticed this. The mod in question is a master in gaslighting. I'm not sure I would have noticed if I didn't have personal experience with this level of manipulation.

It's not a coincidence you see the same name pop up, every time someone gets bullied out of the discord.
I fully agree with this: to generalize, it’s useless to look at just prices, you really need to take performance and other parts into consideration too.

For example, we rely heavily on storage (with deployments in the 100TB - 1PB range), where we have a lot of churn in data and as such require a lot of throughput. AWS’s GP3 EBS volumes offer 1GB/sec throughout each at a really attractive price, there simply isn’t any comparable offering for this at Azure at that price point (only the ultra premium SSD variant, which is more like IO2 EBS).

Does anyone know whether there are any real in-depth studies and comparisons between performance of cloud providers, on the level of, say, the STAC benchmarks?

I drive over 100 Km daily. My '15 Impreza would get bugs on the windshield, but my '22 Model 3 is covered with them every evening. The first thing that I do after plugging it in is to clean the windshield, headlights, and other front-facing parts every evening. I'd do that maybe once every week or two in the Impreza.
What you're talking about is 5G mmWave. Previous longer frequencies remain usable with 5G. Last I looked into it mmWave was a tiny portion of 5G deployments, as it only makes in very dense urban areas due to the reasons you noted. Of course those mmWave stations presumably still support the longer frequencies because why wouldn't you if the goal is to fit tons of clients onto one station.
