My buyer’s agent could be replaced by giving me access to MLS and lockboxes.

My seller’s agent, on the other hand, was super useful and irreplaceable except by another smart human. I felt like he got us top dollar for the house based on how he renovated, staged, photographed… much more money than we expected.

Also, my experience was I set a budget, put my stuff in truck, left my house a dirty mess, handed the agent my keys, and left town. Then he did all the renovating/etc, posted it, collected offers, and we got paid.
A couple of years ago I gave myself two evenings to setup and start to learn Ocaml. I gave up due to the tooling. Nothing worked, many things weren't obvious or explained. This is much better with Haskell, Rust, F#, ...
> The logic of most prominent programming languages, such as Python, is based on English vocabulary and syntax — using terms like “while” or “if not” to trigger certain actions — which makes it that much more difficult to learn for non-native speakers. Furthermore, many of the most popular educational resources for learning to code, including Stack Exchange, are also in English.

It seems to me that the latter is a much bigger problem for Spanish. Programming languages have relatively few keywords. I imagine English keywords might be a big problem for people who doesn't know the latin alphabet though.

I had literally never heard about this until I saw a high school friend of mine posting on Facebook yesterday about the urban turkeys in S.E. Minneapolis. I moved away from Mpls in 2003, so I assume this must have become a thing sometime in the last 19 years. Any idea about the backstory?

It's also not on the same planet with tooling pain points.
I can’t speak to what the current sitch is, but when I was there you had to be onsite for 11 weeks over four-five years. Quite a few Americans would fly in for it
I would never fuck with a goose, and turkeys seem to outweigh them by a good margin.
It seems really funny but I've personally witnessed a turkey attack a friend. She ran to the car and got in, and the bird chased us as we drove away.
Is there a manual for these hidden features though? I’d really like to read something exhaustive about available gestures!
Turkeys can be very aggressive and are not to be reckoned with. They could really hurt somebody.

(Especially if you fill the fryer too full)
I browsed through the guide a bit, but it seems to be anything but comprehensive, rather it's quite similar to comment threads like this where there's a smattering of less-well-known hidden functionality among the more obvious stuff.

> I still agree on the discoverability part but I can't think of a way that would be better.

In Emacs, C-h m runs `describe-mode` which goes through the major mode of the current buffer and all the currently active minor modes, and puts their descriptions and all the mode-specific key/mouse bindings into a new Help buffer.

It would probably be incredible overkill, but I'd adore an overlay view in macos where each screen widget / distinct region had an outline or different shaded color overlaid on it, and when you hover each widget it shows you all the "keymaps" / event bindings for it. Give me all the knowledge; I use Emacs by choice for crying out loud.
You shouldn't have to work 3jobs just to get by. I don't care what you do, working 1 full time job should be enough. If that makes me a socialist, then yeah OK.... I used to think John Lennon's 'Imagine' was such a scary thing, funny how now at 40 I think it is anything but scary.. Oh and it doesn't matter what minimum wage is, they need to start a maximum cost, minimum wage just raises the cost of everything else.... It's all an illusion, we are owned, and they got us right where they want us... Lol but hey, let's keep fighting and arguing with each other.

Reality is not that simple, if you worked in this industry you would know. For example I was building a web scraper years ago and the WebView would crash since is C/C++ , instead of doing it's job and show a web page or a broken web page it crashed my entire program,. The solution was to split my program in a parent program and a child program so this bug does not bring my entire thing down, and I can crash the issue and record the bad url that crashes and try again or just skip it.

I would hate to use Rust libraries that would crash my entire program if they for some reason are bugged. In my experience I found bugs in many popular libraries. So in Rust if I import a say library to resize an img and say the img is corrupted and library is shit it will crash my entire program? I would prefer a higher language where I can try=crash the image resize function and if shit goes wrong I can show the user a relevant message , or fallback to some other resizing method.
Workers coops are neither labor market nor necessarily communists. If everyone democratically operates the company and shares equally in profits, there's no wage labor being performed.

Libraries are where unsafe belongs. Having unsafe be an explicit feature is immeasurably better compared to every line in the entire program potentially being unsafe.

Opting out of safety is fine, but safety must be opt-out to be effective, not opt-in. A standard, enforced way to tell readers where the dragons lie is super helpful.
Fair is the key word. The present government enforced scarcity is neither a free nor a fair market. A free market lets participants take the economically optimal choice[0]. A fair market cannot require kowtowing to the arbitrary and capricious whims of a planning board.

Ergo I hold that the respective governments and their zoning/construction policies are trampling on the individual right to a fair market and worse are creating grotesque amount of economic inefficiency, and by extension social damage, in the process.

It's not exactly all about supply and I talked about that in my original comment but maybe that needs clarification. Yes the prices are high because supply is limited, normally that would drive construction but because the prices are so extremely high and interest rates so low almost everyone has to buy housing with credit. One of the many problems with this is that lenders get to be picky about what exactly people are allowed to buy and one of the things they don't like is people financing new construction. The result is people who could otherwise afford to construct new housing (and construct it in more efficient ways) for themselves in less populated places being forced to compete for the already short supply.

If pop politics is something considered "insincerely-held" then how can the viewer/audience decide if something is pop politics.

I got into an argument once with a few people a while back about gay rights and they dismissed my points as pop politics but it's hard to argue that you're being sincere when they don't believe you. And there isn't much nuance that you can give to the topic.

Land area hides the true scale though. The oil fills vast volume under the ground.

Solar panels may take up more surface area, but the energy output per unit of material and volume should easily out-class oil.

There is also no shortage of area on land or sea that is otherwise useless to us.

Better to yell when the car diverts west when it really needs to turn south immediately to get to the destination. Otherwise you end up all the way west and that’s the biggest waste of time of all. This is where being friendly is not optimal (or even correct).
The whole idea of representation was that minorities were unable to enjoy media because it didn't contain characters that looked like them or that had life experiences that they could relate to.

So Hollywood bent over backwards to shoehorn in representation everywhere they could and now they find that the majority of people don't like these shows and movies that are all about people who don't look like them and have experiences they can't relate to. This is surprising somehow?

Personally, I never had a problem enjoying a good story regardless of how different the characters are from me, but it seems a lot of people only want to watch things about themselves. The studios also seem to put a lot more emphasis on checking the correct boxes rather than telling a good story.
"Nearly every case" is very wishy washy, I assume you have some specifics, what about trashing a property, who absorbs that cost?

Living where one has historically lived is interesting, take London - you're implying it should be a birth right for natives - what about the immigrant flow into such cities, how would you reconcile the "right of natives" with human capital?
I would leave the bananas out on the counter, let them get very very ripe, and then harvest the energy of all the fruit flies flying around the house.

---

This leads me to a serious question. We all know you will have a house full of fruit flies if you leave ripe bananas out. But where do they come from?

Are they already in the house in some latent form, just waiting for ripe fruit that they can lay eggs in?

Or are they swarming outside looking for that whiff of ripe banana gas, and they sneak in when you open the door?

Where do fruit flies come from anyway?
Why on earth would anybody build apartments or rent out property under your scheme?

RAII was invented before C++ considered exceptions.

Back in MS-DOS/Windows 3.x, and Mac OS, CFront/UNIX days, RAII was used for file handles, network connections, other sort of OS handles, and naturally data structures like dynamic strings and arrays.

When exceptions came into scene, RAII was already established as pattern.
Rust has syntactic sugar to help you coalesce error handling into returning a single Result. You'd have to check and make sure the library you use doesn't call unwrap willy nilly. As crazy as that sounds it is actually common practice in the Rust community, there's tools that reveal use of unwrap and unsafe in your dependencies.

In the end you don't use Rust because it's so easy and nice to use (unless you come from C/C++). You come to Rust because you want meticulous control over performance, and you don't want to sacrifice safety to attain that.

If that's not why you're using it, I agree you're probably better off choosing Java, it's plenty fast and comfortable to use, especially if you pick modern tooling.

I don't see any reason a language needs to be simple, as long as the abstractions are close enough to zero cost. Since Rust can run on even 8 bit microcontrollers, it should be able to replace C in a lot of places.

There might be some set of tools out there that will make C++ as safe as Rust(It seems like some are talking about borrow checkers but finding it near impossible?), but Rust is designed for safety from the ground up.

Plus, even if your linter catches 100% of bugs, your libraries probably won't use those standards, and may be full of bugs.

Not that you'd ever do a JS-level amount of reuse in C, since the lack of standardized package management sometimes makes it not even worth it to use a library, almost like they actively want to discourage reuse.

Rust has a problem with some things being community that should be stdlib, but standard practice in C++ seems to be to reinvent way more wheels than other languages.
Good luck with writing code without being connected nowadays. MSDN from the 90s is all .chm's and you can find anything there. Win32 API, Sockets, DirectX, all with explanations and example codes. Fast, searchable, available locally, lightweight. Everything was there.

As opposed to todays MSDN library that is primarly online. You can export it to pdf document but it's computer generated and you can see a lot of thinking/work didn't go into that process, plain get headers get text and dump it into pdf.

Another one is to download MSDN library/documentation via visual studio, which has some information, but is incomplete and you still bump on some topics that redirect you to the online version. And not nearly content-rich as it's 90s version.

Cut down home ownership to max 3 homes per household. Otherwise rent from someone else.

I think people wouldn't have so many issues with this if it didn't feel so patronizing. Sometimes castings feel more like HR checking all the boxes than representing a demographic, and on top of that the marketing will still typically put the white character's head front and center with the token characters on the sides. Los Angeles County where most stuff is filmed and produced is majority latino now. Let's see some movies where the cast is entirely that demographic vs. just one character in the swiss army knife of a cast demography for a change.

> 1 litre of oil is equivalent to about 3 days of human energy output (at 3,000 kilocalories/day).

Working 8 or 24 hrs/day?

So, is oil really worth $100 a barrel? Another way of looking at it is to compare oil to a horse. A horse laboring a standard 40-hour work week (eight hours a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year) would have to labor for more than one year to produce the energy in a barrel of oil. Do you think a horse could be fed and maintained for a year for $100? Not likely.

Human labor is even worse. A fit human adult can sustain about one-tenth of a horsepower, so a human would have to labor more than 10 years to equal a barrel of oil.

This has been argued and debated often on TOD, mainly in response to some of my own quotes in media about 1 barrel equating to 25,000 hours of human labour (12.5 years at 40 hours per week). Ultimately the answer to this question depends highly on assumptions - but we can arrive at a good approximation. 1 barrel equates to 6.1 Gigajoules (5.8 million BTUs). Depending on the 'job', humans use roughly 100-700 Kilocalories per hour (Computer work requires an estimated 119.3 Kcals/hr). 1 kilocalorie (Kcal) = 4,184 joules. So 1 barrel of oil has 6.1 billion/4,184 = 1,454,459 kcals. Using a range of 100-700 kcals per human hour of work then results in a range 2078 and 14544 hours per barrel of oil. At 2000 hours per year (40*50), this is would then be 1.0-7.25 years per barrel.

One barrel of oil has the same amount of energy of up to 25,000 hours of hard human labor, which is 12.5 years of work. At $20 per hour, this is $500,000 of labor per barrel

1 barrel ~158 litres <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_oil_equivalent>. Also hard labour is about 5,000 calories/hour.

US population is effectively flat over the past two years. Home construction is at an all time high.

People keep repeating these statements about underbuilding or lack of supply as if they're backed by data, but it's just he said she said. Number of housing units to households is the same as it was in the year 2000, and in line with historical levels.

Home price gains were driven by a low rate induced speculative frenzy. It's inflationary psychology at work. E.g. people spin narratives about why you need to buy now to avoid being priced out, thus everybody starts to panic buy making the prophecy self fulfilling in the end.

But this never ends well. At the root of every bubble is some collective narrative that "justifies" its existence

The top 3 items on your list seem to be about prestige/status. I imagine you're thinking about buying that.

If so then I understand - if you've seen other people getting promoted and wondered about whether it was the extra qualifications. I am not really sure at the moment. I used to think that way and then I got a promotion which was nothing special to anyone except me - to me it was a huge breakthrough. It was not just because of my personal performance but about how extremely useful I was to my boss at the time and because he had another problem to solve which he thought he could put me onto. In other words it was all circumstances that mattered. To be fair, it is also because he is probably the best manager I've had so far (he thinks that hiring people who are nice is more important than anything).

Before my mini step-up I had been in companies where either the source of all solutions was always expected to come from outside i.e. we were to be soldiers without initiative or situations where other, better connected people were in the view of the management. There wasn't any chance for the people 2-3 levels above to form any opinions of you and the person directly above you was basically a competitor. I'm not joking that "the smokers," who had to leave the building to get their fix, was the most important clique to belong to at one place because people of all levels mixed there and got to know each other.

To get back to your Masters, I think it's a heavy investment for someone whose top concern is advancement/prestige. It feels a bit not right that the things that you want to learn about aren't at the top.

It might be that you will do all this work on learning things you're not really that interested in when it could turn out that the real problem is that you're just not working at a place where the conditions are right to show your usefulness and/or you don't have good management above you.
For doing that on hard/impossible setting, try doing it in Danish as a foreigner.

> I’d assume you’d want those changes back in your source files

Not an expert, but your changes never 'leave' your source files. You iterate by changing the code in the file, sending it to the image/compiler, and repeat. There's no need for "getting code back into the files".
Why would you ever want to wrote something that isn't provable, when you could write something that is?

You always have unsafe blocks for tiny bits of performance critical hardware interaction stuff, but in general, I don't see why we need to be able to access the whole program space in 99% of cases.
I guess you are unaware of all the money people pour into their homes - renovations, furniture, upkeep, maintenance. People spend all kinds of money on nice things, but nothing comes close to the home itself. There will always be a market for this.
The cost-cutting wrt physical bank branches is just ridiculous. You can't even deposit or withdraw coinage at ABN AMRO branches anymore; they outsourced that to home improvement stores instead (yes, really).
Perhaps legal immigration is but immigration overall is very high.

I've hit my quota, here's my reply: illegal immigrants still have to live somewhere So they're going to take housing off the market. They manage to rent houses in various ways (employers, government programs, ngos etc.)

Your comment seems to ignore all the evidence that shows approx, 70% of security related issues come from those memory unsafe languages. Two independent large companies found that same statistic on two entirely different and large code bases. Google and Microsoft.

You can ignore those findings as you like, but that is why so many people are interested in Rust.

Not a birthright, I don't think it should move across generations, but I do think that it's needlessly cruel to force someone out of their home because wealthier people want to live there.

As for tenants v landlords, I believe it should be difficult to evict tenants except in cases where the tenant is clearly a danger to others or to the home itself. If they are vandalizing the property, that should be an eviction. Likewise if they are cooking meth. But I think tenants should be protected if, eg, their income drops due to a layoff or unforseen medical expense.
