Sounds like the plot from the movie "Safe" (Todd Haynes, 1995).

But a bit off-topic, do doctors recognize MCS as a legitimate illness? I see in the article that multiple doctors backed these patients, encouraging the Canadian gov. to come up with a solution. But I guess with the insane real-estate prices over there, it's tough to find anything that isn't very old for a decent price.
I’m curious where exactly in the rest of the world you think these cheap homes are in major metropolitan areas? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/12/hong-kong-average-house-pric...

Canada doesn’t even make it to the top 3

Edit: I got a bit more curious so found a more up to date article and Van makes it to 3rd: https://www.bosshunting.com.au/lifestyle/real-estate/most-ex...

However, you can see that expensive housing is not something unique to Canadian cities.
It's about 1h if you take the Rotherhite tunnel, but if you use lungs for breathing I wouldn't recommend that.

Otherwise you need to take the Greenwich foot tunnel, which adds a lot to the trip. It may not take 2h24min but it's about 4.4 miles, not 2.

It is a big annoyance but I think most places (once they're beyond a few engineers in size) use federated auth that support multiple keys (Okta, Active Directory, GSuite) for AWS access.

What is the difference between MAID and government sanctioned suicide? As someone who doesn't follow the topic, government sanctioned suicide is how I've thought of it and I've never encountered the acronym MAID before this.

Government sanctioned homicide is weird phrasing because the patient has agency and is the one making the decision.
Looks good but the real problem, as for 90% of similar programs, is the volume of necessary data-entry. Paid-for options like YNAB, nowadays, can fetch transactions from many mainstream US/EU banks and credit providers.

Another alternative would be the use of a string interner, with the tokens storing the interner ID.

Advantages would be that the token type can stay small and Copy, while not having a lifetime to carry around.

Disadvantages would be the overhead of the interning, which would slow down lexing, and you'd need to drag around the interner to anywhere you need the actual string.

There’s no law of physics saying that a company cannot delegate decision–making authority to individual employees. If your employer doesn’t let you make that kind of decision, then that is a social problem rather than a physical one.

Note that I have not said that an individual employee can decide how their employer does business, only that your development processes can be arranged so that they do not require low–latency in–person meetings between employees. You can do your business with or without any overlap in working hours between employees that interact with each other; the overlap is not required.

Scale is one of the main reasons Harry Beck's map worked. Central London on an accurate map isn't that confusingly laid out at a large enough scale. But the outlying suburbs are just so far away, and the schematic is a lot less confusing for the intended purpose of getting the correct train connection than flipping back and forth between different maps and insets at different scale levels

Unlike the rest of the country, California has "jungle primaries". So, you can wind up in the election with "Democrat vs Democrat". This prevents the "Barely win the primary and cruise to a safe general election."

In addition, California can put something like this up as a proposition and override the legislature.

However, both of these situations are likely to wind up with a LOT of entrenched money being thrown around in opposition to "right to repair". So, the supporters need to get their ducks in a row and demonstrate real support in the electorate for this.

> Same one party rule situation exists in some very "red" states of course.

I'm speaking in ignorance right now, but I am unaware of any red states that implement either jungle primaries or election propositions.

No, they do, and are usually pushed into it by prayer retreats and a forced lack of sleep (in the stories I've heard.) It's after they fake it once in order to sleep, then get into the habit of faking it, that they decide that they were never actually faking it, retconning the first incident into an awakening.

It was once only tiny pentecostal sects that did this (speak in tongues), but evangelical churches grew out of that tradition and took over the world. Literally didn't exist 100 years ago. It's also where we got faith healing and snake-handling.

I have been venturing to Vancover BC for the better part of the last 30 years. In that time, there were waves of hippies selling in Kits and moving to the Okanagan, etc. Prices went up. What has happened in the last 15+ years is a noticable vacancy when you look at housing as you walk around. An influx of foreing money has been buying up and keeping properties vacant. This is happening all up and down the west coast. Some of that money may not be foreign, but a lot is.

BC has attempted a lack of occupancy tax and it seems like it's not working.

Exactly, that is why many many projects will remain in C++ for a long long time.

There is nothing that makes Tether seem legitimate and this wasn't an attempt to make it seem so simply because "it hasn't yet collapsed so therefore it won't ever".

My thoughts exactly. I have enough outrage already. Before I get outraged about this, I'd like to know how prevalent the problem is.
The problem with encouraging builders to go hard with few restrictions is you end up with a low-density urban sprawl that introduces a ton of its own issues. You end up with massively long commutes and a ton of infrastructure that now needs to be maintained, and none of that cost falls on the builder so they happily build fields of new homes miles away from work places or services.

I was never laid off because I never had a job, but I lived through those 2 downturns and many people I know got laid off. As I lived in EU countries, they got unemployment benefits without issues, but even then some sold their houses and also got jobs they were overqualified for and that made less money, because you cannot predict how long a crisis will last. There was never a job issue in these previous two downturns for good developers with good resumes, even if they had to be laid off. Cannot imagine that will be different this time.

Always good to cut costs as far as you can to make sure you have cash saved in case it really goes bad.

There was/is lot of money slushing around in startups/companies that are not doing well for traditional standards (p/e for instance); they might fall quickly when things get worse. If you work in one of those, you might already want to try to jump over to a (big) traditional corp that is running healthy profits. Something boring that hasn’t been propped up with a lot of vc money or hype. Might pay less but it will probably weather the storm.

The Eocene saw a thermal maximum in which global mean temperature increased by about 6 ºC, and a much wetter climate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Therm...

> But languages are absolutely slow or fast! There are fast Schemes and Lisps and there are slow ones.

You are contradicting yourself. If languages instead of implementations were slow or fast, then their would not be fast and slow Schemes and Lisps. Scheme would be either slow or fast.

Actually, I would go even further than saying only implementations are slow or fast, they are slow or fast for certain use cases.

> There is simply no efficient implementation of Elisp possible as it stands and as it is used today. Even with JIT compiling Elisp performance is simply wretched.

I agree in so far as there will --- probably --- never be an Elisp implementation which can run numeric intensive code as fast as the best Fortran or C compiler for this task. But it is certainly possible to improve the performance of ELisp even more than native-comp branch did. The question is whether there are people capable and willing to invest the time to develop that and whether spending that time on the language implementation is the most useful way to spend that time.
Okay, but you already have a business relationship with your exchange. so there are fewer points of failure.

>I have USDT that is in my own wallet and not on an exchange that I could send directly to you if I wanted.

I suppose, but this "Tether" currency is still minted by a centralized entity. It could be worthless tomorrow. I don't see how self-custodialship of this centralized monopoly money matters. You might as well just use a centralized currency if you trust this centralized entity not to inflate the currency.

When I use an exchange-backed currency like BUSD, USDC or Kraken's USD, I don't intend to exchange it peer-to-peer at all. The whole point of exchange in the first place is that you use the cryptocurrencies for peer-to-peer transfers. The only thing a stablecoin has to do is:

1) Accept (cash, bank, CC) deposits

2) Allow (cash, bank, CC) withdrawls

3) Allow me to exchange it for cryptocurrency with others

4) Don't lose my money in the process

Saying React support libraries are at fault here is not fair - React basically reimagined itself over the years and went from OO and class based components to hooks and functions. The fact that you can still do OO isn't really helping it since it adds to the complexity of things you need to learn to grasp the ecosystem.

But that's honestly missing the forest for the trees - JavaScript itself went from asynchronous callback pyramid of doom, to promises and callback chaining, to async/await. The community went through multiple half-assed module approaches/specifications. Several FOTM bundlers with extreme complexity and various tradeoffs. Various build systems.

Features like hot reloading, transpiling, source mapping, shimming are table stakes for any frontend framework and involve a lot of complexity and tooling - because the entire ecosystem is built on a foundation of shit that is JS and the browsers.

So frontend frameworks are the least relevant part here - it's everything that makes them tick that's the problem.
