I believe you were misinformed.

The rails have not a real freedom to slide, they have two different forms of resistance, the one provided by the ties and the one provided by the junction, there is only a given temperature range where they can slide.

The rail goes into a cycle, you need some 3-4 C° to win the resistance of the joint (in this part the rail is compressed by some 6000 kg of resistance) and some 6-7 degrees more to win the resistance of the ties (some 10-12000 kg more of compression), then it becomes "free sliding" until the gap in the joint closes, this needs 12-13 C° more and the rail is again compressed by the ends.

When the temperatures lowers, the same cycle is reversed, the rail first contracts until the gap starts to appear and widens, then you have again a range where it is free sliding, then the two resistances come into play again, when the temperature lowers further the excursion is limited by the joints (usually they allow 14 mm travel) and the rail is subject to traction (as opposed to compression).

The only point that never moves is the tie at the center of the rail length, you have to imagine a spring that you try to expand by pulling the two sides, it will return to its original shape, all forces are relative to the center, so there is not any reason why the rail should not come back to its original position.

In practice - strangely enough - rails behave very similar to the theory.

In my area, I see a fair number of manufactured homes placed on permanent foundations on private lots come up for sale. For whatever reason, they almost never mention the fact that they are manufactured, which I guess must not be a legal requirement. They are pretty easy to tell apart -- vaulted ceilings that end up being very close to door height, strips that cover seams in the drywall, a very clear split down the center where the house was shipped in two parts, etc.

I cannot believe people are either naively buying these homes for the price of a normal house or don't even realize it's a manufactured home.

There is a lot you can do to make these homes nicer but coming from the factory, so much of the materials are sub-par. Most of the "cabinets" are just fronts placed onto thin particle board "frames" that are sloppily stapled together. The plastic plumbing fittings are very prone to wearing down quickly. A lot of the times the bathroom plumbing isn't vented. The windows are absolute garbage. The furnace and water heater are squeezed into a tiny cubby that would probably have to access from a small access door in one of the closets, or maybe two closets, where each side can access a certain portion of it. Sinks are made of thin, cheap plastic. Lots of things can also be built to a code that wouldn't be allowed in other construction -- the electric wires are 3-in-1 wires that snap directly into the outlets, the house's frame is thinner than normally allowed, drywall is thinner, etc. etc.

I think all that is fine if you know what you're getting but I suspect a lot of people don't realize what they're actually buying.

At least at a defense contractor you can get hired and then get paid while waiting for the security clearance (just watching some unclassified training and such I guess).

I related this part of the post to my gf and she said at her place it’s HR that’s backed up. They have a bunch of contractors they want to convert to FT but if their contract ends and they can’t get paid they’ll go work somewhere else. Meanwhile the company is trying to hire like crazy.

I agree.

I don't see how this is not magical thinking but the rules of arithmetic are.
Short (?) intro for those who don't know how it works in CN:

1. Local govts are in heavy debt and sell land to pay back their debt.

2. Real estate corps pay a hell lot of money (don't care where they get them) to purchase a land ownership (for 70 years max) from the govt.

3. Before construction even begins, the real estate corps start selling the houses to citizens.

4. Citizens pay up to 40% of the total price on their own, and ask the bank to lend them the rest of the 60% and get it paid back in the NEXT 30 YEARS (often paying as much as twice as the original price).

5. The bank gives 60% directly to the real estate corp. So in fact the citizen IS OWING MONEY TO THE BANK, and not to the estate corp.

6. Often, the real estate corp uses this money to pay back previous loans, or use this money to purchase more land from the local govt. So current (future) constructions pretty much depends on whether this Ponzi scheme could continue.

7. With the money earned from selling the land, the local govt could pay back the loan and ask for more, in order to build more infrastructure so as to pull up estate prices, from which it can earn more by selling more land.

8. ...until no typical citizen will be able to afford it.
The US price doesn't include tax. Take the tax off and you'll see that the pricing is much closer.
The problem isn't that it's not obvious, but that it's actively counterintuitive.

If a car company was called 'GJKN', and that stood for some obscure acronym, you'd just memorize that. But you'd probably be a lot more confused by the car company 'NoWheels' when their car still has wheels, just in different places.
For the general case, the CLRS book is recommended, but I personally found Algorithm Design by Jon Kleinberg and Eva Tardos to be the best introduction in undergrad:

In the US, tract builders target houses to be built from the ground up in 100 days, assuming supplies and workers are available.

That's the big problem with cable / DOCSIS: it's totally inconsistent from one day to the next. The last time I had trouble, they indicated there was "upstream ingress" in the neighborhood. This caused significant packet loss and took literally months for them to track down. In my experience, unless it's a complete outage, cable companies do not give it a priority.
Chinese government should offer hard guarantees that all properties would eventually be completed, and at the same time that bad lenders may lose theirs.

In Russia it's quite common occurrence that a very late project by a failed developer is eventually completed and the lenders get their apartments at last, after regional government intervention.

In China it should be even simpler as the money never leave the escrow account. I wonder if there are un-escrow provisions if developer fails to deliver - in theory there should be no risk at all.
Attributes suck when you're trying to write that data into a database. That's the main reason why lots of implementations enforced no attributes, because it made writing that data into a database table very hard.
Mamiya 7 is great but got really expensive in the last years, not much cheaper than XPan.
As with many (most?) high speed lines, it's done through maintenance overnight: the Shinkansen doesn't run from midnight till 6am, plus dealing with the potential expansion through additional work on the track during those overnight periods (largely by re-stressing the steel).

This is all about overnight access and about the cost of the work involved.
Seems like instead of focusing on python's execution speed, we've all been saying (for a long time) what we really really need in a language (like python) is simplified/centralized/pythonic(one way to do it) tooling. Python, isn't popular because it executes close to C speeds. It's popular because it generally removes common obstacles for the developer. The package manager for python is a common obstacle that many open source repo's are trying to solve because python proper hasn't solved it (or attempted to with enough focus).
I interned at a large insurance agency on their corporate security team. My task for the summer was to setup a third party service that integrated with their Jira install. This was all done in their test environment, with nothing touching prod.

Week 1: met the team, requested access to a VM and a service account for Jira.

Week 8: the VM was provisioned. I installed the application in about 2 minutes.

Week 10: I was granted access to a service account. I entered the credential into the application and confirmed it worked.

Week 11: I presented to the team the installed and working service.

Week 12: the internship was done.

All in all I did maybe 30 min of actual work across the 12 weeks. They extended me a comfortable job offer as they were pleased with my performance, which I declined.
It's made clear both parents were naturally difficult too, which is part of the point. This panel probably had to be expressly stated since Mom doesn't encourage Calvin's (over) imagination like his father does.

Comcast has to actively enforce against ISPs or network providers.

Comcast the ISP doesn't have to actively enforce against Comcast brand tires or Comcast brand coffee.

A lot of people are confused about this, and big companies use "we have to actively enforce" as an excuse to crush companies in unrelated fields. But you don't.
My partner being vegetarian I inadvertently reduced my consumption of meat to only rare ocassions for plenty of other options and I am doing fairly well. I have nothing against meats or meat eaters as I was one myself, but I have the realization that meat eating was excessive with meat or other meat products eaten on a daily basis, I really think that is not very healthy.
I took it to mean transporting the pre made houses by airship instead of over existing roads.

Less traveling public, more heavy transport.

By removing the “must ship by road” requirement, you could have many more shapes and sizes for the prefabricated home components. Transport of the components by airship would be one way to avoid roads.

(It brings a whole host of other issues too, so it’s not something I find all that practical, but I’m not the parent)
The role description said that there'd be a small amount of equity included but so far we haven't discussed it. Should I bring this up with the founders?

this makes plenty of sense to me. It certainly wasn't my goal to make extra work for them, and I value efficiency!

At the same time, the other company was willing to do that extra work upfront, which made me feel like they actually wanted me to come.

I think I might've felt a little differently about it had the recruiter been transparent and said something about the work involved. Then again, at the end of the day, we had all done quite a lot of work to get to that point. Not being willing to do the final steps suggests (to me) a lack of commitment to the offer.
Lol. Next time someone criticizes an idea of mine, I'll try responding with: "Easy, we'll just use airships."
This is something that I think is extremely under-appreciated: the ability of a user to dive into the code of what they’re using and try things out. Like the type-in games of the 8-bit micro era, or like Scratch, or like Emacs; each of these allows the user to tinker with little overhead.

Modern software, by contrast, is usually too opaque - even free software! The barrier to entry is way too high.

Interesting although this seems a little out of date because xml seems to one of the least desirable data formats for modern programming languages. Maybe this is more useful for legacy enterprise use cases that I don’t know about.
But employment minus consideration is either:

If the worker isn't receiving consideration: Slavery, which is illegal in the civilised world (Americans still enslave convicted criminals...)

And The “easy” C sophomore computing science graph is inevitably chock full of Undefined Behavior too, the implementers just never noticed or gave a shit because they cobbled something together that looked superficially correct, the compiler didn’t complain, so they decided they were all good. Sophomores, as it turns out, are hardly world-beating experts in C standard esoterica.

The rest of what your wrote is completely irrelevant to the original point: this seems hard in safe Rust only because you’re comparing it to doing something totally different and simpler in C.

It's an interesting example as both of them have phenomenal approval from others and are widely respected, shared and enjoyed for decades and seen as successful along various lines of criteria. By tautokogical definition, we cannot share mutually recognizable examples of artists who aren't seen and shared :).

They may have taken unique path there, but I'm not certain their motivations are as different. If an artist does not want their work to be shared and seen and enjoyed, I'm not even sure they're an "artist" , as opposed to someone who's spending their private time on a whimsy and hobby - They're just tinkering in a vacuum with audience of one. Art, to me, is created to have an impact, an impression, a point do view, or a message, or emotion - all of it predicated on a receiving audience.

I think we'll quickly agree that methods of achieving that sharing can be significantly different, and there certainly are other motivations such as money and fame etc, but this perspective of an artist as someone who doesn't care is their art is seen strikes me as depressingly anti social.
The answer above has been deleted, but this answer is even better. Replace US with China. But to understand it, you need to be familiar of modern Chinese history.

https://www.zhihu.com/question/439676867/answer/2559528806

1. The United States has not been fascist until recently, but has been a fascist state since its founding. However, the US has not always been so fascist since its founding, and there was a period of relative normality during the Reagan years. In contrast, the fascisation of recent years has been particularly striking.

2. In terms of internal causes, the relative openness of the US was due to the fact that the McCarthy movement had gone too far and not only did the people become unhappy, but eventually the government became unhappy. So there was a temporary social consensus that fascisation had to be curbed. However, Trump himself was not a victim of the McCarthy movement and has been in good government since its end. He therefore did not personally resent it much. And in order to preserve the shining image of the Republican Party and to put an end to the leftist media of the Democratic Party engaging in the practice of Fake News. When Trump was in office, he directly disallowed statements that publicly denied the history of the Great Depression to the McCarthy movement. In this way, the new generation in the US also became predominantly favourable to the McCarthy movement, promoting the return of fascism to American society.

3. Externally, the US has been eager to strengthen its control over Canada, Mexico and Cuba, the 'backyard' of the US. This has not only caused resentment among the local population, but has also been widely criticised in international public opinion. If you talk about the Wilson Doctrine at this time, then the scandalous things you have done in the US are in themselves the opposite of what you want to do. The theory you preach turns out to be a slap in your own face, and you might as well not preach it at all. Instead, by picking up the ragged flag of fascism, you can explain the justification for these hegemonic acts of the US. And so its propaganda tone leans more and more towards fascism. This is the reality that needs to dictate the discourse.

As far as I can tell, it's a standard which just means that the building needs very little energy for heating or cooling. It mostly comes down to making the building very insulated (as far as I can tell--not saying that's the complete story, but that's a big factor).

Thanks for the advice, I will look further into this--I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for tutoring online or through craigslist/nextdoor.

The 2.6 Linux kernel includes the ability to create this sort of havoc on your network interfaces via netem[1]. Using the `tc` tool you can add latency, jitter, packet loss, packet reordering, corruption, duplication, or rate limiting. You can apply this to an entire interface or have it only apply to single IPs or ranges of IPs as it works through the existing QOS framework in Linux. Combined with a routing interface and you can leverage this to create a wan emulator for external hosts without much trouble.

This is incredibly useful when smoke testing large scale distributed systems or for test/development of protocols intended to be used over dicey connections.

Passive house atleast here means a house that generates more energy then it consumes. E.g very well insulated house with solar power, ventilation that gives back energy etc.
They don't. That's the point.

When you have an over-estimated stock on the market, it's going to drop. Eventually.
This brings back bad memories. I once worked on a mobile app that used XML-RPC for communications, in the late 2000's. I remember looking at packet captures of this stuff. Ugh.
They are designed to reduce energy requirements (especially heating and cooling) by at least 75% to 90% compared to regular homes and ideally by 100% by capturing and holding heat in the winter and blocking heat in the summer. They tend to have thick walls, triple paned windows, and be air tight.

People like film because its a different process. You don't have to futz about lightroom to get the tones you want. You can get great shots with a camera you got at a thrift store. The battery lasts for what, months? The high cost per shot makes you shoot more for quality vs quantity. When I bring my digital camera someplace, there is a tendency for me to take 400 shots and then have a chore later going through that in lightroom. When I bring a film camera I take only a few dozen if that, and don't fret or do any post processing because I just accept how it develops and scans at my local lab. Post processing takes time, even if you have an automatic import workflow that takes time to establish and set up and chances are you are tweaking it all the time anyhow depending on lighting conditions.

Anecdotally the film lab in my city has been very busy with mostly younger people. Every time I go to drop off film I am waiting in line. People still shoot film and still buy polaroids even, despite this age of everyone having a phone that looks like a spider with the amount of lenses on the back.
Well, yes. In fact it's the recommended style for simple conditions.
From a quick look it doesn't seem that the graphical elements are inherent to the language. It could be expressed in a text syntax, and with more or less difficultly other languages could get a similar graphical overlay.

If the graphics are useful training wheels to new programmers of scratch, the same is probably true for the text languages. And from time to time even a super cyclist can find a use for training wheels.

For one thing, a language expressed in a common graphical form could help communicate with non-coder domain experts, quality assurance teams, customers, etc. This is kind of an argument to publish the latin bible in the vulgar argot, less exclusive to the priesthood.
>get it paid back in the NEXT 30 YEARS

Why emphasize that? 30 year mortgages are common in the US. At current rates of 5.5%, the total paid in interest will be bigger than the original loan.

Of course, most US mortgages are taken out on housing units that actually exist.

You can be handed a functional institution, but unless you know how to keep it together, you'll just run it into the ground eventually.

If you accept that the institution-people aren't actually working but building brands and selling their brands, then it follows that it is a different set of skills to do the work than it is to represent it.
The main problem with reflecting heat is that it still winds up somewhere.

This can cause temperature immediately outside your window to be higher. Or even reflect it into your neighbours houses.

I still have this on my windows too though. It does make a big difference. It's just worth realizing the heat still goes somewhere.
