I live in a touristy place in the US, and while STR (short term rentals) clearly don't help, the city's own statistics show they're not a huge factor.

More than anything, NIMBY neighbors keep killing less expensive forms of housing... 100's of homes, I would say, in the time since I started observing the situation.

STR's make for a convenient bogeyman that people can point their finger at. It's a bit more disturbing when you realize it's actually your neighbors; kind, ordinary people in most regards.

Backend-leaning full-stack software engineer working remotely in diverse teams for the last 10 years.

Not in a hurry. I’m exploring career improvement opportunities where I can be sure that if I invest my passion I will feel parts of the results of it. Not interested unless you have something in the higher side of 6 figures plus benefits.

I’ve helped (twice) companies to scale their applications from millions of users to an architecture that can scale x10 that.

I'm happy working with JavaScript, Rust, Swift, Smalltalk, Docker, AWS or GCloud. I'm usually happier pair programming but I'm totally okay left with a task on my own too.

I prefer not to do DevOps nor operations. Being on-call is a deal breaker. I shine in development. Specially bringing new possibilities for the app so the team can do things with it if they chose to.

My current favorite pet project is an IDE for Smalltalk with a Svelte frontend and a Rust backend.
The best exploration of this theme that I have read, was an East German SF novel from the former GDR.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it has never been translated into English.

People seem to equate flirting with some weird things. I guess most of us did in middle school.

But now I do flirt with people I want to befriend as well as date. Lots of eye contact and smiling. Quick gentle touches on the shoulder to emphasize a point or accompany laughter. Extra acknowledgement of their points, ideas, viewpoints. Light, pleasant teasing ("Look at you, stunning everyone with your outfit, Okay, I see you over there").

Gotta be willing to try on new personas and interpersonal behaviors. Maybe take an improv class.
I started going bald late 20's/early 30's and just started cutting my hair really short and then never gave it another thought. Being bald isn't unattractive - being self-conscious about being bald is.
For a reason. Patient no-show is a huge cost for doctors; it can get as high as 50% in some cases.

Either way, can we just not destroy the ocean? Shouldn't "use less power" be an option? Kill the ocean (more) vs Mine the moon is a false dichotomy.

I think at its core the difference is in that the art is not created and polished by the author, it was just chosen and possibly tuned, that is, it's not the product of the author's imagination and emotions, it's only about taste and skills.

This definitely needs its own competition but I'm not in a position to suggest it's not fair or how to regulate it.
TANSTAAFL. And it led the Moonies to a rebellion. And the AI Mike basically kills itself. No happy endings there.
The US is pretty bad if you force yourself to remain in the same area (which, to be fair, most people do).

But the US is large and there are places where housing really isn't the issue (but there can be other issues, too).

In my experience, time-slicing and deferring renders for large lists (via APIs like useDeferredValue and/or requestIdleCallback, etc), combined with memoization can be a great alternative to virtualization.

For a lot of use cases where people jump straight to virtualization, it's not actually the number of elements that exist in the DOM at once that's the problem (React and browsers these days can handle a lot more than what's intuitive to most people). The problem is usually the cost of rendering all those elements at once in the initial mount, which often can cause visible frame drops and even noticeable freezes of the page.

Deferred rendering and time slicing can amortize this cost over a longer period of time while providing essentially the same UX (by eagerly rendering the first X # of items in a list), while memoization can keep transitions to new states fast by reusing the same large list of nodes when it hasn't changed. All of these techniques combined is still orders of magnitudes less complexity and requires fewer UX compromises (tearing, loss of browser search, etc) compared to virtualization, which should be reserved only for cases where there is no other workable solution IMO.
Honestly, after playing around with Midjourney for an hour, there's also plenty of AI intent here. It's not be sentient intent, but something else that's altogether unique and interesting. Put another way, if a million monkeys were to reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare, those works would be no less poignant.

Théåtre D'opéra Spatial is a beautiful work and really draws in me in.
Should watch the video they did just before this one where they did a live popup shop and had people trying to torque the hell out of this and it stands up.

Or even during this exact video where he says that if you hit the max torque that this screwdriver can survive, you better have seen that your steel pc case now has a hole in it where the screw used to be.

at one company I was passed off to another team because although I wrote a correct solution immediately to some nontrivial problem in their preferred language, C++, I wrote it in a C-like style instead of using their preferred subset of C++ features (probably this aligns pretty closely with what most people mean when they say "modern C++", which I admitted prior to the interview that I had basically never used because my C++ experience predated a lot of these features).
The ratio is more like 4:1. And women receive such an overwhelming amount of low-quality messages that there's no point in crafting a high-effort message, as it will just be buried by spam in their inboxes.

I've been a software engineer for 20 years, leadership for the last 6-8 years or so. Looking for an individual contributor or leadership, either is fine with me. I just like creating stuff that impacts people for the better and teaching others what I know about creating products.

I've written game and graphics engines, trading platforms, video streaming platforms (hello HBO Go!), machine learning platforms, things that helped consumers, things that helped business, things that helped the planet.

Your mission and your product speak more to me than salary and equity. Let's talk.

We don't need to bring humans we can bring some sort of fungus and eventually it will evolve into humans over billions of years.
This issue of speculation on empty properties would be, if not solved, then at least immensely alleviated with a Georgist LVT (Land Value Tax), a tax on properties equal to the rent for the undeveloped piece of land.

It's easy to implement, the market exists to price that amount, and provides a direct incentive to either put the property to productive use or get rid of it.

Building physical houses to sit empty as a financial instrument has to be one of the peaks of capitalist insanity.

I see three colluding factors causing a global cost-of-living crisis:

- Increasing income inequality short-circuiting the backpressure role of market pricing (and, more specifically, the use of home ownership and immigrant-investor programs as a way to sidestep restrictive immigration systems)

- Countries attempting to replicate the American suburban lifestyle, which is economically unsustainable as voters are incentivized to constrain supply in favor of "line go up"

- The economic gravity of living in a large city.

The econ 101 explanation of markets is that increasing price lowers demand, but this is determined by the "elasticity" of the supply and demand curves. The shapes of the curves determines what the market will do when supply or demand shifts. But if these curves are straight lines, or "inelastic"; then suppliers or buyers do not compromise on quantity and the market gouges people.

Supply is inelastic: most cities are hostile to redevelopment and all the economically-viable land in the city has been used up. No matter how expensive housing gets, people will not be able to build more of it, so price goes up more. In fact, when housing gets more valuable, there is more political resistance to increasing supply, which makes prices go up more.

Demand is inelastic: most housing buyers need to own a house. Homelessness is at best inconvenient and at worst illegal. Moving out of a city is expensive, and will require finding new employment, possibly at a lower hourly rate or salary.

The end result is that the housing market works less like a market and more like NFTs pre-a-few-months-ago. It is politically engineered to ensure quick and profitable exits for the vast majority of homeowners. However, this process cannot go on forever; because eventually home costs will outstrip wages, which puts backpressure on the whole "line go up" thing.

This is where the rich and powerful come in. They do not respond to pricing backpressure the same way you or me do. If a flat in Portugal is a million euros instead of half a million, who the hell cares? They can afford it anyway. They represent "greatest fools" - people who can resolve a speculative bubble by just buying the asset and not caring about it.

It's also kind of a mistake to say that "the Portuguese can no longer afford to live in Portugal". The population is not a monolith; it's more correct to say that today's middle class Portuguese cannot afford to live in their own country, but prior decades' middle classes absolutely could have, and the price inflation in the housing market is specifically to the benefit of those people.

While the points against hydration are valid, the proposed solution sounds to me like it would have other (opposite) performance problems:

i.e. hydration has an inherent startup overhead, and possibly a continuing memory overhead (though the latter doesn't seem inherent), whereas resumable sounds like it may start fast, run slow (and I can't see where they solve the mentioned memory overhead problem).

I haven't tested this myself so since they have some Qwik demos linked I gave them a try. Anecdotally, startup seems very slow in them. I thought this was meant to be the problem being solved. Maybe the component download is fast but the framework download/parse is the slow part?

Either way, none of the examples are complex or interactive enough to properly test ui latency so I don't know.
STRs almost by definition can't be the entirety of the problem, except in cases where there's an absolute limit on available units, and it's highly desirable as a tourist destination (Venice, for example).

STRs just slipped past the NIMBYs because they weren't on the lookout for it; it won't happen again!
I can't think of any major urban area in the world and any time period in history where "housing is too expensive" hasn't been the popular sentiment.
Both Kagi and Orion are deeply impressive products. Even though I try every new general purpose web browser and search engine that comes out, this combo is the only one that stuck.

Orion: Finally a non-chrome based web browser that can compete with the likes of Brave and Arc. It works much better on Mac than the alternatives, with the same engine as Safari it also benefits from deeper system integration such as native Sign-in with Apple and password management. Also, like Brave, comes with powerful ad and tracker blocker so you don't need a separate extension. I also love its built-in tree-style tabs implementation.

Kagi: It is Google without all the bad parts. It is user centric like some other alternatives, without the poor index and search results.

Props to the team, I am looking forward to what's to come. It is mind blowing how a single small company can make one of the best desktop browser AND search engine AND mobile browser on the market. Hope they are not spreading themselves too thin and can fund the development of all these for a long time!

My only complaints are the slow performance of Orion on iOS, and its poor handling of app urls. Latter caused some issues when I had Orion set as the default browser on my iPhone and some payment flow that used app redirects between my banking app and the store app got stuck. I was lucky and I could manually launch the app by pasting the app link in Safari, but I hope it can handle these cases as well as Mobile Safari in the future.
For me it’s the opposite, when I get a match on a dating app my intentions are clear to the woman so it’s easy for me to go straight in flirting/being romantic etc. In a neutral setting you first have to direct the conversation away from the neutral towards the romantic and then go from there. Much harder and more time intensive.
WunderGraph | Senior Full Stack Engineers (+2 years experience) | REMOTE (Anywhere in the World), FULL-TIME | https://solstice-ambulance-1e7.notion.site/Senior-Fullstack-...

ABOUT OUR TEAM AND CULTURE: As one of our early employees, you will become a product owner of our latest offering WunderGraph Cloud (Vercel for Backend). Culture comes first at WunderGraph, so there is no Hustle culture here. You will be judged on impact, not lines of code. We offer a competitive salary, unlimited PTO, free choice of equipment, hackathons, and more!

A common problem that you're faced with when building web applications is that each application requires a unique composition of internal and external APIs, databases, file storages and authentication providers. Once you've created such a composition, it needs to be enriched with business logic and data transformations using Middleware functions.

Companies keep inventing their own solutions to this problem, the most famous one is based on the BFF pattern (Backend for Frontend), where you create a specific backend for each individual frontend. But even with the BFF pattern, the flow is still not standardized, so companies are re-inventing the wheel over and over again.

WunderGraph set sail to solve this problem. We're building on open standards, like GraphQL, REST, OpenAPI OpenID Connect, OAuth2, AsyncAPI and more to create a standardized approach to creating API Compositions and Integrations.

Recent blog posts may give you a sense of what we're doing and our principles: https://wundergraph.com/blog

> I'm currently on DDG, but something about them that I can't quite put my finger on rubs me the wrong way.

Have you given Brave Search a try? I honestly didn't expect to switch, but after trying it out for a while I ended up making it my default and haven't looked back. Brave is mostly using its own index (in my case, for 87% of my search results).

> 'Precision fires' is a technical term, not a moral one, or a marketing term.

I think this is a little unfair - as far as I understand 'surgical strike' is not a reall military term, and the terminology was used by pundits and politicians to put a spin on current events.

I don't think anyone takes issue with generals using correct terminology, but usualy they aren't the ones giving interviews.
Large amounts of public-built housing (and I mean large, in the order of at least ~20% of the market) have a track record of working amazingly well to lower the cost of housing to acceptable levels and to give everyone a chance at homeownership.
