They got a lot bigger. In 2015 they had ~600 employees. By 2020 that was 1500.

Basically they were able to:

a. Refactor features out of IntelliJ Ultimate into separate products, expanding their mindshare and market share e.g. database plugin -> DataGrip.

b. Move their userbase to subscriptions -> much larger and more stable revenue stream.

c. Google migrated from Eclipse to IntelliJ for their Android IDE. Then Kotlin blew up and became adopted as the official primary language on Android, which created a massive ecosystem and drives lots of users to use IntelliJ and then upgrade to Ultimate.

All you have to do is continue to raise interest rates. That will lower the value of property.

However, it won't change how much you pay/month for the property as people will pay whatever they can afford to per month to live where they want to. It's just more of that payment will go to interest. So yes, the list price will crater but the actual cost to buy the place will be the same.

The only person it really benefits is cash buyers which most people aren't. This could actually make homes less accessible to most people as their mortgage bid will never beat a cash bid.
But that's always the story with Python isn't it. There is always this new way to do things that is so much better than all the previous ones. If only everybody was doing it the right way. At least until the next one comes along.

We've come a long way since PEP 20.
This is correct. There are some sensible business defaults, but pure debit and credit have no specific meaning. It’s just yet another analytical dimension handily entangled with double-entry.

This fact is rarely mentioned in business talks so people have a whole variety of ideas what they mean, as you can see itt.

>“ An asset class is a grouping of investments that exhibit similar characteristics and are subject to the same laws and regulations.”

Yes, I got that. Housing has been such for well over 100 years, right?

It is not treated as a service or utility because, well it is neither of those things at all.

Even if you somehow forced it into such a market, the value would still likely be the same cost to a homeowner, since there is not going to be some free lunch here. People willing to pay $X to live at Y will continue to be willing to do that. Services and utilities do not mean free or low cost.

>treat or normal clothing as an asset class

Because it is cheap, it wears out, and goes to zero value. You really don't want the value of your house to be zero, meaning it has no utility to anyone, including you.
> understand that your want for a new vehicle every couple years

you're making a lot of assumptions here. In general I'd agree with you.

Absolutely. Also sending money and helping with logistics. If you have taken a look at the said LinkedIn profile, you might have noticed a post which says that "not supporting the Putin's war" is no longer enough. We need to do something to help Ukraine win.

I am not saying this gives an indulgence or something — I am not the one being bombed. Everything I do will probably not be enough. But it is not an excuse to do nothing.
Trying to find something I agree with in this post. I programmed in Java for decades and found that there were plenty of new concepts to learn in Go. Not sure asking myself what concepts I knew would help me in learning Go, especially since I know the concepts, I don't need to ask myself whether I know them.
Some concepts not in Java

- Pointers. These take a while to understand and use effectively. https://www.timr.co/go-interfaces-the-tricky-parts

- Error handling. Very different than exceptions

- Interfaces. Not quite the same as Java's and used differently in some cases

- Channels. Java doesn't have these

- Context. passing these around everywhere instead of just sticking on a threadlocal.

Go will flex your brain plenty since you have to unlearn what you thought were good programming practices such as only one return statement per method.
so $400+$240 every 12,000+ pages, vs $400+$300 (10 x $30) for about 2,200+ pages?

It's not even close....
As usual in ML, the appropriate solution depends on the problem and context.

ML (particularly DL) tends to outperform "classical" statistical time series forecasting when the data is (strongly) nonlinear, highly dimensional and large. The opposite holds as well.

It is also important to note that accuracy is not the only relevant metric in practical applications. Explainability is of particular interest in time series forecasting: it is good to know if your sales are going to increase/decrease, but it is even more valuable to know which input variables are likely to account for that change. Hence, a "simple" model with inferior forecasting accuracy might be preferred to a stronger estimator if it can give insights to not only the "what" will happen, but also the "why".
Same, I also wish there was a way to just block all calls from numbers not in my address book. Would also be great to not let "scam likely" numbers leave voicemails because they always do.
"Create class" is not an important feature.

Jumping straight to implementations, finding all callers, immediately finding all invalid sites when you update a function, refactoring function signatures, extracting+lifting+moving methods, rewriting code into newer styles, decompiling and jumping into external libraries when debugging, understanding things like Spring config files ... the list just goes on.
> I wonder if persistently low interest rates is the real culprit that led to housing as investment.

Of course.

The profit from selling a leveraged investment is based on the delta between what you pay to borrow the money and how quickly the asset goes up. Doesn't matter it that's a house, a stock, bonds, whatever.

Housing is particularly attractive for these bets, because it's so easy to qualify for a big loan and because the rates have been so low.

Once mortgage rates exceed about six percent, the incentive to invest in real estate will be much lower.
MS Access isn't as good. Again, e.g. Hypercard.
That's not how it works outside the US. In Germany you fill out the bubbles and throw it in a ballot box. The cobtent of the box is later counted by multiple actual people.

Those preliminary results are later recounted and verified.

I'm trying to figure out if you are agreeing with me or arguing with me.

Rural: Low usage, low maintenance low services (road,power,internet), low tax base

Urban: High usage, high maintenance, high services (water, sewer, road, power, internet, transit), high tax base

Suburban: High usage, high maintenance, high services (water, sewer, road, power, internet, transit), low tax base

Only one of these, by necessity needs subsidizing ...
Well, "artificial" does come from "art" (ars + fex = skill + make)

> From Middle English artificial (“man-made”) via Old French (modern French artificiel), from Latin artificiālis from artificium (“skill”), from artifex, from ars (“skill”), and -fex, from facere (“to make”).

Regarding the artificial baby - I was thinking along the lines of putting the Gato [1] model in an android body. Nothing wild technologically, just give it the experience of having a family, friends, things to do, like we do for kids. This will induce the agent to form the same kind of value judgements as people make. It won't be just trained on the whole internet, but have access to the real world + human society, the best training dataset.

I believe the lack of access to the real world, the human society and a humanoid body is what keeps AI models from being more human-like. We can't become a developed human without society, for example. Why would AI be able to? The next step in AI is not about the neural net architecture but the curriculum, especially real world exposure.

A lot of comments here are criticizing Apple for chasing cheap labor.

Ignoring for a second the fact that this has a lot more to do with geopolitics and hedging geopolitical risk, I think it's important to think more carefully about the impact of companies investing in developing economies.

By and large, the factory work done by people in developing economies is dramatically better in terms of quality of life and safety than the agricultural work that they would be doing without economic development. It would be better if the factories were more often owned domestically (instead of owned by Chinese companies), but the actual workers are not suffering in the short term as a result of Apple bringing jobs. The complete opposite is true.

I researched these a while ago and the way these “titles” work is simple: you change your name by deed poll to “Lord Appleseed” or whatever you fancy.

This can easily go too far in the other direction though, carving up a single family sized living space into 5 tiny 400 sqft apartments. There have to be incentives for mixed sized living spaces.
Programming is an exercise in manipulating semantic objects which is why stuff like blueprints in unreal engine are so easy to use. It will just get better and text will become an obsolete vestige, regardless of whatever idea you have of this being "harmful". I really don't think a character encoding with 30 ways to control the terminal (and now extended to encode emojis) is the be all end all way of writing and editing programs.

Consider that if text had an advantage, it would be that you could cut some string in half as some sort of manipulation that saves time. What do I cut in half? Change >= to = ? There's basically no advantage of text. I don't want half of an if statement, that's what text allows me to do, it's a pointless feature that makes inputting programs harder. The basic element on the screen should be the if statement itself.

There is no advantage to a 1D language. Text is a 1D language. If you have

if (x) {
if (y) {
}
}

You are just reading it as a 2D language, but it's not. It could be

if (x) {
if (y) {
}}
}

and mean something else. (Yes I'm sure you can catch this one, but not all in general). The only way to be sure is read it from start until end, which nobody does. This is a security issue too, which I discovered when I was 12 years old reading perl scripts from milworm. By formatting text you are already conceding that 2D is better.

Of course there are tradeoffs, usually in the form of a longer commute.

> In this zone it is illegal to make urban housing.

So you'd propose forcefully building your preferred style of housing everywhere, even if the local residents don't want it?

Short of declaring a dictatorship, it won't succeed to force everyone to live in the same style of building. A very large part of the population has no interest in living in a high-rise apartment.

In the cases you cited where corporations are buying homes, yeah, there are firms that do a lot of quantitative research and forecasting and identify homes that they think are underpriced according to their rental value, ignoring the vast majority of properties on the market. If you're in a community they've identified as being underpriced, I guess it can look like they're buying up the whole world, but it's a selective strategy, completely different from the blanket assumption that property is an easy doorway to wealth and riches. As one of those articles notes, they don't compete against "wealthy boomers and the nation’s finance and tech bros," because we're willing to pay silly prices for property. They buy in neighborhoods where people like us aren't looking.
I'm not sure people understand how expensive it is to build what we consider a house in the West. Materials are unbelievably expensive and if you go cheap you're going to be replacing a lot of them soon. Labor is through the roof expensive.

People forget that the average home was ~700 square feet 100 years ago. It's 2400 today. How many people would be willing to put a family of 4 or 5 in a 700 square foot home today? Go to old towns and look at some of the houses that are 100+ years old and 2400 square feet. You know who lived in those homes 100 years ago? Really rich people like lawyers and business execs and they had servants cooking and cleaning. Today that's just expected to be a home for a normal family.

We could change what we think a home is for most people but I don't think most people are willing to accept that the home they can afford is closer to a prefabricated trailer than it is a traditional single family home.

Even apartments are super expensive to build and the reason you don't see many dwellings that aren't "luxury" is because the cost to construct and maintain them is so high that you'd never get your money back otherwise.
I fully understand everything you're saying and you have very good technical points, but (and I would draw this out to a LOT of things in IT) these aren't taken away by MOST USERS.

The reason the laws are needed is because the land is being overrun by people.

>Both Fannie and Freddie buy mortgages

Yes, I said as much. The OP claimed they guaranteed mortgages, which they do not.

I'm decently aware of the MBS market - I developed MBS pricing algorithms in the late 90s/early 00s for putting houses in tranches after a friend at a mortgage company asked for help with algorithms. Turns out the problem was NP-hard (a lattice based linear programming problem if I recall), but good heuristics from the literature and some special sauce outperformed their current (at that time) pricing.

Around the time the whole market blew up I was considering going to hedge funds, and was working out details of how all the math, science, and computer algos work to prepare for interviewing. After the market crash, I moved on more into scientific and R&D computing. But I still read papers in the area out of curiosity.

But the fact is the market is not "guaranteed" in any sense - which is likely good as 2008 showed.

Or are people going around those caps somehow?

And do they have the surrounding parts + engineering ecosystems that is so touted as why China is the place to get things built?

Learning your “non-negotiable” professional boundaries
As I've been going through burnout and learning how to protect myself from it, I found this piece about professional boundaries super helpful.
No matter how you spin it, this makes the landing page very misleading.

Nobody cares about the "design" of a language when there is no implementation that fully realizes the design. Otherwise, anyone can say "my language is 100% compatible with clojure, but oh, yeah, the clojure compatibility part isn't fully implemented yet".

If your landing page said "jank's goal is to be 100% compatible with clojure", or "jank is designed to be 100% compatible with clojure (when fully implemented)" that would be fine. Right now the statement is just false, because right now, the language isn't 100% compatible with clojure.

I really think you should change the wording -- and I say that as someone genuinely interested in the project. I hope you achieve 100% clojure compatibility, that would be really cool. With the way things are worded now the first impression you are giving people is that the language implementation is way more complete than it is, which I believe will be a big negative for you in the long run.
