People living in homes financed with a generous rate (~3% like you mentioned) mortgage are unlikely to move - that's correct. However, that's not the only piece of the puzzle. Keep in mind that home builders have recently produced at the highest level since 2008 [1]. When you pair this with high rates [2], it's likely that we will see inventory sitting on the market.

Why is everyone here pointing out that it was joke as though Apple fired him because they thought that he was actually fondling women all day, and not because of what he said?

This case aside, where do people get the idea that anyone can say anything they want without consequence so long as it’s a joke? I guess that’s why every corporate HR training has to explain in painful detail that words are actionable even if you’re joking.
> Also, what better place to tap traffic than the connection of a VPN provider.

Well, per my previous post, my ISP is definitely a better place. Hell, you don't even need to tap them. They'll just sell you the data, along with other PII. (Setting aside Mullvad' multi-hop support, which would require taps in multiple jurisdictions).

I think the point you're trying to make is that this isn't resilient to the NSA monitoring my traffic. I had hoped it was clear from my message that there's another level of privacy I'm concerned with related to intrusive private entities. I'm not expecting the GDPR or similar privacy laws to stop the NSA either, but they serve a useful purpose.

I guess I'm banking on Meta and Google not tapping Mullvad. Or even the RIAA or MPAA, for that matter. Because my ISP will very willingly give those entities data. And as long as unencrypted SNI is the norm, my ISP knows more than I want it to know about my browsing behavior. Not to mention the stuff that isn't HTTPS. Sure, Verizon knows I've established a connection an encrypted tunnel and how much bandwidth I routed through it, but that's a level of metadata I'm not concerned with.

So, yeah, Mullvad could be logging every packet through their tunnel. They could even assemble a profile based on my account and sell it to all the data brokers and advertising networks. They still don't have my SSN. Even if all of that happened, then I'm still no worse a situation than if I didn't use them because my ISP is doing those things. At worst, I'll be out 5€ for the month.
Out of curiosity, how does this compare with fuse.js?
Is there an open codec that concentrates on low CPU usage? I'm fine with it not being very bandwidth efficient.

Opus is a very good codec, but it's not amazing CPU-wise. I work on a VR world, and audio encoding is usually our most limiting factor when running on an VPS. We have the capability to negotiate codecs, so the high cpu/low bandwidth use case is already covered.

What I'm looking for specifically:

* Low CPU usage

* Support for high bitrate, suitable for music and sounds other than voice

* Low latency
> so I just assumed Red Hat was running it. If people wanted to change Fedora in a way that was counter to RH's interest, would it really go through?

No, legally it's all Red Hat et al

Fedora Project isn't an association in the same way Debian is, it is in house project of Red Hat. Look at what happened to CentOS, in the same vein they can steer it however they like.
That was Opera Mini, and it's still around (and popular in areas where Internet speed is still measured in Kbps and/or you pay for data per megabyte).

It's not even that it served a minified version, too. It basically did all layout server-side, so the client got something more akin to a PDF of the webpage optimized for its screen size. It also compressed images.
I like the saying "he's predicted 12 of the last 3 recessions".
> level of access Vanguard has on your computer

I use a separate computer for games. Multiple for different games. Just because they have egregious amount of access to stuff like the hardware profile and the ability to run anything with full privileges doesn't mean I want to also have phone number nonsense on top of that.
>"In C it's not much more then a switch case over an enum where every enum value is a concrete state."

This is but stupidly primitive representation / implementation of SM (yes it is useful in very simple cases). You can do way better in C. Somebody else already presented more advanced design.

Thanks for the lecture on fiat currency, but it’s valuable because will do work for it, and because international oil purchases are denominated in it. Read up on the petrodollar system if you’re interested. And devaluing it is not without cost, inflation causes all sorts of turmoil.
> SQL expresses relational algebra

Actually, no. Relational algebra is based on sets. SQL is not. Perhaps you are confusing SQL with QUEL, which was used by Postgres in its younger days? QUEL evolved out of Codd's original Alpha language.
That's definitely a risk, but typically when crypto craters hard it's actually quite difficult to quickly get money into the markets. Wire transfers and ACH transfers usually take forever or deposits get shut down. It's much better to have stablecoins in that situation.

Also I've diversified my risk by selecting two U.S.-based exchanges/banks (Abra was the first and is currently the only exchange to get a Fed account). The likelihood that both stop withdrawals on the same day seems unlikely. Is it as safe as storing gold under my mattress? No, but the markets move incredibly fast. When I see an opportunity I'll need to move quickly, then get my purchases off the exchanges immediately.
I could have written a nearly identical comment. Stay with your plan and good luck!
Given the small size of the logs at my employer, they can probably be compressed to a few tens of KB. Compression is always a good thing, but especially when you need to cut cloud storage costs.
Which becomes a problem using containers in a monorepo.
Websites can def be fast, but to your point it’s a priority problem.

This comparison I made at https://legiblenews.com/speed that got upvoted here a while back shows just that—most news websites care about ads first before their users speed experience. Only Legible News, USA Today, and Financial Times have a reasonable speed score, which is kind of depressing.
That is not the official NBER definition. You can find that here: https://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating/business...
The finance industry argues publicly that it's responsible for funding the sciences and the study of Old Nature while it builds an opaque jungle of New Nature in which it preys on other humans.

When the "losers" wise up to what you claim and collectively want to kill you, who will the smart person be then? I'm not personally feeling that towards you, just illustrating a completely rational hypothetical response of a large group of someone you'd label suckers or losers.
Same here. I guess it depends on how risk averse one is.

Additionally, part of the bonus of solar+storage vs. large nuclear is that when you spread out your generation into smaller grid sections, then you can reduce the need for large transmission infrastructure that requires maintenance[1].

Distributed software is good, so why not distributed energy generation? Answer: distributed energy generation is great!

TIOBE [0] reckons that the top 10 programming languages are currently Python, C, Java, C++, C#, Visual Basic, JavaScript, "Assembly Language", SQL and PHP. The first five languages represent more than 50% of the users in TIOBE.

Apart from SQL, all of these languages are imperative, and most of them derive from C in some shape or form; K&R C was published in 1978, 44 years ago.

So, while I'd agree that there have certainly been huge incremental improvements in imperative programming in the last ~50 years, when we look at what people use on a daily basis, it's not really clear to me that the changes have been any greater in significance than the changes that SQL has gone through during the same period.

Thank you for being a voice of compassion amongst all the vultures here.
If you have enough money and time, it might still be useful (and satisfying) to serve society in this way.

You would confuse models currently shooting fish in a barrel.

You would still pick the cheapest insurer (probably one that does not look at your data).

You can live without anyone abusing your privacy in this way.

No because nearly every single complicated thing we’ve done, every problem solved has likely been done on the back of prior knowledge or technologies which were provided by others, there in lies my point.

You watch someone like Musk and you enjoy the spectacle and the idea of an engineering hero billionaire, or you realise that while he may have brilliant ideas and moments, I find he often fails to acknowledge the fact that he isn’t an island and even if he says things like, “I have a great team” I think it’s not enough because I’m generally one of those people who spends a LOT of time solving problems for other people within a team to help make complicated things happen…I wouldn’t have the time to go on TV half of the time which I why I likely know who is doing the real work.
> Are MMORPGs not games?

Yes. I've never played one, but from what I can tell it's like a forum where you go on with an identity and form clubs with people and chat about stuff, then you play some wonky subgame for 1 minute in that 3 hour session, then you go press a bunch of buttons to gamble for virtual prizes, etc.

I deleyed Netflix last month. Maybe I’ll return in a month or two, or maybe I’ll wait until the summer. But I’m no longer a subscriber anymore because of these shenanigans.
Let's take a common 9 mm round with muzzle velocity of 1,100 fps. When fired at 87 degrees, horizontal velocity component is 1,100 fps * cos 87 deg = 57 fps.

It will be much less than that on the way down due to air resistance throughout the flight, and negligible compared to terminal velocity (around 200 fps).
I am generally not interested in taking more risk (I’m not saying your fund has more exposure to risk, I haven’t checked), and for the bonds part of my taxable portfolio I invest in diversified muni funds, VWIUX specifically. At the current SEC yield of 3.2% and my marginal tax rate of 40.8% this implies a tax-equivalent yield of 5.4%, which is good enough in my books.
"Since starting my career, the tech stack I use has changed numerous times. Technologies have come, gone, evolved. But except for a brief period in 2010 where we thought we could kill it, SQL is the one technology that has stayed around."

Interesting. Over time we'll be working to improve more specific searches to prevent unusual errors. Right now we're just loosely comparing letters in searches.

And yeah, our servers are working overtime, but what's fun is that as more images are generated, there's less of a need to "bulk generate" because many searches show existing results.
Relational algebra is what makes SQL great: some actual strict math behind the design.

Ad-hoc syntax with hard-to-compose parts,is what makes SQL arbitrary and quirky. I would like a more algebraic syntax, with uniform, composable parts.
I can't speak for these people but I do know why this happens in Sweden (where I live): because the Swedish state provides lavish benefits, a lot more than neighbouring countries. This fact is taken by human smugglers, blown out of all proportions where they promise migrants that they'll get a house and a car and a girlfriend (not a joke) if only they pay them €€€€ to be dumped into a leaky boat across the Mediterranean.

The patent troll lost the case against gnome. Or rather, they've settled on not prosecuting either gnome or any other project with an OSI approved license. So, it's very likely that their patent was not even valid. If gnome had acted the same way as fedora, they'd pre-emptively remove shotwell or remove some of its features.

The community can choose to take risks, such as being prosecuted by a patent troll. For example, insurance can funded by the community.
I think everyone should look after themselves first, so that they can be in the position to look after others. Like oxygen masks on a plane. If I can profit today I'll have more to donate tomorrow.
Weeell... podcast is great, and I have been listening them since I can remember but podcast is not ubiquitous, I can't just start my car and ask it to continue my episode of 'I Spy' podcast

Radio is still great most times but could improve, adding some more tech or specialized stations, but is harder to get now, many phones don't support it, or you need headphones connected to get signal, I remember a few years ago I would listen a lot from my phone but now it is impossible
Yeah my friends purchased at the peak thanks to FOMO. Now they owe over half a million on a small provincial home. On a teacher's salary I'm not sure how they're going to survive if rates continue to climb.

My house has dropped more than a years income since it peaked. That's an average 4 bedroom place in Palmy.
I think it's fine to try to "time the market" and/or do many other things.

But don't do it with more than 5-10% of your savings on one assumption/prediction.
I'm sure there will be lots who disagree, but this is one of a few findings that seem linked to sleep/excess exposure artificial light to me. If you drink coffee, that very likely means that you drink it in the morning; and if you slug down coffee in the morning you're much less likely to binge watch anything on Netflix 'till 3AM, 'cause you'll be too exhausted by then. So you'll get your requisite darkness (and melatonin.) (The research really shows that long (predictably timed) stretches of real darkness is important for health, not sleep per se.)

Now, back in the day, a few decades ago, coffee was clearly unhealthy, because most people used it not only to wake up, but to stay up well into the evening, very frequently. But it became obvious this wasn't a healthy use (I suspect employers were not keen on it.) So the habitual drinking of coffee in the late evening went from being what everybody did to being what almost nobody did (or admitted to, anyway.)

Find a few people who drink coffee only or mostly in the evening - there must be some - and redo this study. I bet you get quite different results.

I don't discount the antioxidants in coffee, but I doubt that's what's primarily driving the OP study findings.
I'm interested to hear why you think so? If theres's something specifically wrong with what we've built that we could possibly improve, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Tibco is responsible for Jaspersoft.

Jaspersoft is both insanely powerful and will make you want to kill the authors and then yourself.

There isn’t really anything else that does what it does though and you can take that statement both ways.

I really hate Jaspersoft but unless you work in a certain kind of enterprise environment you can go an entire career without running into it.
So some lawyers will spend some extra years fighting over some edge cases, with very unclear results if its not something serious but a fishing operation as you suggest. Or some actual legal issues will have to be resolved. Scary.

You're way off. There's a huge diminishing return on how much you can learn at a single job. From my own experience, I'd say it peaks around 6-12 months.

There's some longer-term things you can only learn by being at the same company for a long time (such as "how to grow a startup from 1 to 100 employees" and what comes with that), but those things are usually outside the realm of what software engineers interest themselves with.

If you're spending more than 2 years at the same company, the only domain knowledge you're growing is that of how to be an employee at that particular company, and very little of it is very useful outside of it. Things like "I know how all these Facebook internal tools work inside-and-out". Cool, we don't have or need them cause we're a totally different company, now what?

Whereas a lot of even surface-level knowledge can bring a huge amount of unique perspectives and solutions. And my own most successful projects have been the results of combinations of experience in multiple domains at once.

And none of this prevents you from actually developing deep domain knowledge. For example, I have NOT held the same job for a decade and a half, but I HAVE been using Python (and other various software) for all that time, in a large amount of very varied situations, and I absolutely have "deep domain knowledge" there.
IIUC, in a game, let's suppose you pick up an object. We'll ignore the fact that you probably provide some sort of fairly broad movement to indicate that you want to pick it up - the game just notices this, and your on-screen avatar takes care of the rest. But now that you have it in your hand, you do not actually have control over in a direct sense. You may indicate that you want to lift your arm - all fine, but that information will be fed into a physics engine that will work on actual speed & trajectory, obstacles and collisions etc. What is shown on screen is not the result of you dragging a GUI object across the screen, but the indirect result of your indicating "lift my right arm" etc.

By contrast, most design/creation applications give you the ability to point with the mouse (or touchpad or whatever) at some object on the screen and then move it (sometimes along 3 axes). The speed of the motion, the axial extents and the destination come (at least initially) from you. This is true of drawing applications, design applications, DAWs and lots more.
It turns out the "best" love wide picture concepts such as predicting interest rates, recessions, GDP projections, natural resource shortage/abundance, large scale political and military outcomes influencing all the above etc..

And they also love being diversified and not tied to a single sector or asset so they can change allocation of the portfolio they manage according to all the aforementioned variables and their prediction about them..

Who'd have thought the "best" would love a global scale Poker game?
> is exactly the bug in the game code that enables smurfing.

Not really.

A smurf who doesn’t lose will quickly rise to their appropriate rank and stop being a “problem”.

> If such new players with win streaks far above than what is to be expected by their level ranked up very fast

This is generally exactly what happens. But unfortunately it doesn’t prevent smurfing and is trivial to get around by simply losing placement matches and throwing just enough games to keep the winrate low enough to stay in the given rank the smurf wants to play in.

They screw over the other team when they’re playing to win. They screw over their own team when they need to lose. The only people having fun in these scenarios are the smurfs, and maybe their followers.

The only truly effective tool right now is a ban. And this is why measures to prevent ban evasion (like requiring a phone number) are on the table.

I don’t know what the ideal solution is, but do know that Blizzard has been trying to address this in various ways for awhile, with somewhat limited success.
Can you point to any street names which have been removed?

It's important to remember that OpenStreetMap is primarily a database and the rendered tiles you see on this page are secondary. Data consumers can decide individually whether they want to display a map for cyclists, pedestrians etc. For example, on the official homepage you will also find tiles rendered for cyclists. The important thing is that the data is there and can be used freely by anyone.
I think it's fairly clear even in his example that not all white collar is created equal. I'm not sure how you'd divide it but certain professions like Doctors and developers are not in the same camp as management/accountants/lawyers. So, for the following quote from the article, who are the people actually necessary for "creating and delivering the goods and services that consumers want and need on a daily basis."

"there is a massive shortage of blue collar jobs like truck drivers, hospitality and restaurant employees, and other employees necessary for actually creating and delivering the goods and services that consumers want and need on a daily basis."
> that seems like a win for gaming to me

Well, it isn't. What people are saying in chat has no bearing on the quality of the game. I'm not even playing devil's advocate like you are doing in this sub thread either, I literally could not care what people say in game chats. I take more issue to this obnoxious, cancerous, USA opinion that someone saying the N-word is the end of the world and requires me as an innocent bystander to bear the costs (such as having to use phone identification to play a game). You see the problem is not being racist itself, but the "solutions" you people propose.

It’s not unproductive. Trading firms provide information to the market and society. They are the institutions that control entry and access to markets—- as well as the flow of information that is critical to a healthy market.
If you work for a trading firm you’re probably doing the highest impact work you could be doing. The hours are long and you’re on your feet. You’re dealing with the most important decisions in the world. The stress is intense. I mean, imagine it’s your job to price gigantic numbers of options far beyond what normal people can handle. It’s fiendishly difficult work but beats the impacr of anything else you could be doing.
