Pension funds want to mitigate risk and rental cash flow is a reliable and proven way to do it. When the economy pulls back, these funds will look for solid cash flow options. SFR, like a REIT, is a good choice. When money flows in, this will be used to acquire additional homes.

In short, pension funds looking to de-risk in equities will move towards SFR. This isn’t US-only, but the SFR will be US-only. So expect EU nations that allow their pensions to investment in US assets to move more money towards SFR. The number of homes managed under institutional SFR will grow substantially in the coming years.
Presumably that 11GW is net. France has around 38 million cars. America has around 8 parking spots per car. Assuming there are enough spots that fall under this scheme for 0.5 surface parking spaces per car at the average of 40m^2 per spot that's around 26GW net at 14% capacity or about the same as the current nuclear fleet.

Conveniently france is one of the many countries where wind is anti-correlated with sun, so add some wind and you've covered half your energy.

i wasn't able to get a runnable forth to less than a couple of pages written in itself https://github.com/kragen/stoneknifeforth but schönfinkel's ski-combinators are maybe the simplest practical basis

s f g x → f x (g x)
k a b → a
i = s k k (one of many possible definitions)

maybe wolfram knows of a simpler alternative

my favorite is abadi and cardelli's object-calculus on which i based bicicleta. it has two reduction rules rather than the λ-calculus's one. using a hybrid of bicicleta's syntax and abadi and cardelli's

{f = ς(v)b, g = ς(v)c, ...}{f = ς(v)d} → {f = ς(v)d, g = ς(v)c, ...}
{f = ς(v)b, g = ς(v)c, ...}.f → b[{f = ς(v)b, g = ς(v)c, ...}/v]

the first of these derives an inherited object with a new definition for method f. the second one invokes method f on an object, which is evaluated by replacing its self-variable v with the object itself throughout its body, using the standard β-reduction semantics with α-renaming that we're familiar with from the λ-calculus (b[x/y] means b but with x replacing y)

despite the simplicity of the semantics the ς-calculus is enormously more usable for actually writing down functions than the λ-calculus. here's factorial(10) in the notation above (untested)

{fac = ς(env){
n = ς(_)3,
return = ς(o)
(o.n < 2).if_true{
then = ς(_)1
else = ς(_)o.n * env.fac{n = ς(_)o.n - 1}.return
}.return
}
}.fac{n = ς(10)}.return

bicicleta has a lot of syntactic sugar which reduces this to (tested)

{env: fac = {fac:
arg1 = 3
'()' = (fac.arg1 < 2).if_true(
then = 1
else = fac.arg1 * env.fac(fac.arg1 - 1)
)
}}.fac(10)

in particular to be able to define infix operators inside the language, bicicleta rewrites

x * y

as

x.'*'{arg1 = y}.'()'

and analogously for -, <, etc.

they published a bunch of papers and a book on this but they were more interested in static typing than anything else. a paper on one imperative variation of the thing is http://lucacardelli.name/Papers/PrimObjImpSIPL.A4.pdf

you can implement a turing machine in a few lines of c, making it internally simpler than the other alternatives, but as you point out it's unusable except as a compilation target or to prove theorems about
Background-image is not in proportion with element?
What happens in background-size:cover when background-image is not in proportion with element?

I’ve 2000 * 2500 image.

I’m learning about background-size property. Currently about cover.

cover:

Scales the image (while preserving its ratio) to the smallest possible size to fill the container (that is: both its height and width completely cover the container), leaving no empty space. If the proportions of the background differ from the element, the image is cropped either vertically or horizontally.

I want to focus on that bold part.

HTML:

<div class="first-div"></div>

CSS:

.first-div {

height: 500px;

width: 300px;

background-image: url(img1.jpg);

background-size: cover;

}
The image is named “img1.jpg”.

This is the image. Source: pexels.com

I expected huge part of image to be cut down since my div is only 300 * 500 whereas my image is 2000 * 2500. But it didn’t happen.

https://imgur.com/a/nBFakLW

Why did this happen?

Was the image resized w/o losing aspect ratio? Should not then, it should try to fit the div? What algorithm is being used here in this case?*
I agree that crime is lower than the worst time ever in NYC. But a lot of crime is still up 20, 30, 40% over the last 12 years. I'm sorry, but that's just really bad and calling it a media narrative because crime is still down from the all time highs is misleading in my opinion.

Like is your argument really "Well crime still isn't as bad as it was in the 90s so it's ok"?
Protip if in that situation again: it is much much easier to turn the wheel if the car is moving even very slowly.

If you are not moving, you are literally grinding the tires into the pavement with the entire weight of the car on them, if you are rolling it is easier.

It'll still be very hard.
A lot of them are accused of being dangerous. They are not "dangerous" until actually convicted of a crime -- I do not hold an accusation alone as sufficient cause to imprison a human indefinitely.
There is a LOT of -archy overhead to the Internet.

> Fixing up homes is very inefficient and usually done by mom and pops. Why not find an efficient model to do it

I 100% agree with this premise.

However this is not what Redfin/Opendoor/Zillow do. The most you're going to get regarding "fixing" is a very bad coat of paint, replacing a couple angle stops, and putting a full cover-plate over an outlet that seems iffy.

These companies are not taking an unmarketable product, actually fixing it, and putting a restored property on the market.

I agree that actual property restoration is a fantastic industry to optimize, and I could talk about this for way longer than is appropriate in this post. But the best you're getting from these companies are some lipstick-on-a-pig photos and a sellers disclosure that says "We never occupied the house so have no idea if there are any issues".

There are also other financial-engineering-esque fashions in which they make money, which are all at the expense of residential home buyers. None of the ways are actually "improve the property".
Then the people needing to make up the difference with sweat equity should be able to pay more for the house than a professional flipper, since they do not need to account for the profit and costs of subcontractors of professional flippers.
The only likely outcome I can see is binance taking on just a part of the rumoured $6bn hole. For example covering deposits up to $100k (or whatever number)

Earns goodwill and users while the size of the bill is smaller.

Not sure how it would work from a legal standpoint but unfortunately 6 billion is too much (and I had a majority of my net worth in FTX as a trader)
Velocity Engine was a marketing name for Altivec (which was also a marketing name, just IBM's instead of Apple's). Altivec was roughly comparable to Arm's NEON (32 128-bit registers, packed 32-bit float operations making the largest part of the ISA extension), but with a few key differences. Altivec had a much richer set of basic integer operations than neon (VPERM, you were my best friend), but NEON supported packed 64-bit double-precision floats. In general as a developer Altivec was much more fun to work with, and I'd expect that for Photoshop it was probably the more powerful vector ISA as well.

SVE is a successor to NEON that, besides supporting flexible vector sizes, reflects another couple decades of learnings about vector ISA design and a few orders of magnitude more available transistors.
Wow, usually the HN thread hindsight comes years after. That is quite a fascinating read.
C’mon. There’s oodles of space in the US… we can probably have way more people than 330m and them still live comfortably (in terms of living space).
I also migrated a few years ago, after having used Photoshop and Illustrator professionally for a long time.

The underlying features are there, but the lack of “flow” is the main source of frustration. A lot of common or frequent actions require needless extra steps, or simple actions require convoluted workarounds.

They would benefit from starting an in-house creative studio, to get constant feedback from professionals using it for daily production. That or just start copying Adobe workflows verbatim, these are already solved problems.

Good product and good business model.

_Internal FireWire devices_? Did anyone ever actually produce one of these?
I can be true that crime is WAY down form the ~1992 peak, and that it is way up relative to 2019. Crime can also be very localized, where a city wide increase in the rate of a particular crime might be 15% but for a few square blocks in Brooklyn it might be up 500%.

I'm a huge proponent of criminal justice reform. I hate cash bail, the drug war, over criminalization, and militarized policing. That said, NYPD needs to get off its collective ass on go solve murders, assaults, rapes, and grand larceny cases. The best deterrent for crime that we know of is the assurance that you will be caught.

There is simultaneously no reason that the NYPD should have a foreign intelligence unit and crime labs are underfunded.

It’s completely ungovernable because the labor runs the asylum.

Opening new facilities makes it easier to deal with the union and fix the administrative processes. The management can transfer people and be slightly more selective to encourage and punish. Also, they can hire actual administrative staff instead of having COs working as clerks, etc.
Having worked as a contractor ... sometimes, you hope things will get better or at least tolerable, or you go on because still need to be paid because stopping may mean you get nothing (bad contracts).
It's a pretty common topic for contractors.
That doesn't explain why Atlassian can't build a working search function for Confluence.

I get the feeling the biggest problem with site-local search engines is a tacit requirement that the search index always must be up to date. That severely hamstrings any search engine, since there's a wealth of supplemental information to be gathered by considering the corpus as a whole that is simply not available if you support real-time updates.

Which kinds of ECC are mandatory and which kinds of ECC are optional can be found only in the JEDEC standards, which are expensive.

On the Synopsys site, both at the link provided by you and in other pages, for DDR5 is mentioned only on-die ECC, which protects only against bit flips during storage, while for LPDDR5 is mentioned only link ECC, which protects only against electrical noise on the PCB traces between the LPDDR5 soldered chips and the CPU soldered chip.

It is likely that on-die ECC is considered more important for DDR5, because the computers that use DDR5 modules are expected to have a larger amount of installed memory, which multiplies the frequency of bit errors during storage, while link ECC is considered more important for LPDDR5, because here the data transfer speed is higher, which multiplies the bit errors due to electrical noise on the PCB link.

On-die ECC can be implemented even if the memory controller of the CPU is not aware of it. Each memory manufacturer may choose to implement on-die ECC, or not, depending on the results of their in-house reliability tests for the storage of the bits in their DRAM chips. The memory manufacturers have no need to mention whether they use internally some form of ECC, because that is transparent for the users of the memories.

Link ECC must be supported by the memory controller and included in the standardized memory interface, so I assume that this is restricted to LPDDR5 memories.

I know HN will absolutely tear me apart for recommending this, but I use GitHub desktop. It has all the bells and whistles of the CLI, but you can actually see and understand what's going on.

As a Junior Engineer, a Senior Engineer recommended it to me. I thought he was joking at first, but he kindly reminded me that using a GUI app is completely fine and okay. We shouldn't stigmatise tools that make it easier to use and understand your workflow. GitHub desktop allows me to see what i'm committing, commit history and much more. I'd definitely recommend it.

PS. Using it is not an excuse not to learn how to use the CLI. Others will accuse me of being lazy and not learning best practice. Learn both. Use the easier one.
I think "managers want to cover up bad management and blame someone else" is a perfectly logical reason for Id Software to act this way.
> I think local municipalities should enact speculator taxes, for anyone who owns an unoccupied property that was not recently inherited. Maybe you get 18 months after your parents die to either sell their home, or take on a tenant.

I'd actually agree with this, with the addition of "or appeal as to why you can't". 18 months seems like a long time, but there are many situations where you just can't get something settled in that amount of time.
Not if you look at the result.
Investors like standardized numbers apparently
Absolutely, and it's hugely demoralizing to work with them.

A person like that was moved off of my team recently, and the general lift on the team from just having them gone has been astounding. Everything is up: velocity, stability, even just the vibe of technical planning sessions.
If a small business's primary source of customers is advertising, they're already dead (or something very niche, like a funeral home).

Primary source of new customers, maybe, but a small business should be built around acquiring customers and keeping them for a longtime.

It takes balls to do what The Zuck is doing. Facebook is stagnant and dying. It's being chipped away by Tiktok and neutered by Apple's monopoly.

He could ride the facebook ship into the sunset and have it die 20 years from now.

But no, he's betting big and going for broke. I hope he succeeds just for the sheer stones he's displaying. Really inspiring to see a man aim so high.
It depends. In a lot of layoffs your manager themselves will find out the same morning and will have no say in the decision.
Please, Ubuntu is super easy to use. Windows has been putting ads inside your desktop environment and yeah no-one is gonna move on from it because they love to be captive to that ecosystem. Textbook Stockholm syndrome.
It doesn't have the same margins as advertising.
Just learn Git. It's really not that bad. Don't _ever_ make someone use Rebase without their understanding of what that really means.
Right, so I am interested in determining how space is allocated under a system with a “right to housing”.

Do you apply to the federal government and get sent to where it is cheapest for the feds? Do you get preference for a certain region if your ancestors and relatives are more numerous there?
> Flippers who successfully rehabilitate an old house do increase the effective supply.

100% agree that that is not what any of these ibuyer companies are/were doing.
The way they hijacked the documents folder to sync with a limited space onedrive in a non revertable manner is despicable. The fact that we get only 5Gbs for an OS at this price is a disgusting anti-consumer practice. The way Microsoft keeps pushing this "feature" truly shows how little they care about their users.

I hope NIX platforms finish eating the market share Microsoft has acquired through lock-in and terrible entreprise deals.
We bought a year ago.

Since you cannot predict the future I recommend not waiting “for prices to drop”.

Instead, buy a house when you find one you love and that you can afford. Houses are not widgets- each have pluses and minuses and optimizing for price won’t make you happy.
It was disturbingly accurate for parody.
"Even the largest crypto exchanges are scams" is bad for the crypto space as a whole.
That rewards savers. It also means savers end up saving more money, as higher interest rates reduce demand for loans creating downward pressure on the real estate market.

The spenders of what they didn't have got rewarded for long enough.
Yea, this rings really true, and it's pretty frustrating that we can't do anything about Rikers cause of it.

The abolish prisons before neighborhoods are actually safe thing is... ridiculous. You have to uplift the communities before you can have a jail free system. You can't just jump straight to jail free.

Most of the "abolish prison" types appear to be the super left wing which is like.... not a lot of NYC and mostly concentrated in Manhattan (hence Adam's win in all the other boroughs).

I'm hoping, if done well, and with out treating minorities like shit, that the NYPD being all over the subway will be effective in making NYers feel safe on the subway again (I think the crime wave was a bit overblown but it did get a bit seedier for sure), and maybe get the NYPD and the communities to a decent place.

That'd be a nice win for the city.
Boundaries are equally important - a set of expectations in context is fine, letting people know there is a world outside your little ego-bubble is also important, them knowing how and when to live in both is valuable.
They lay people off, because companies always want to lay some people off, and doing so in normal times is even less palatable. Employees are not fungible, and some employees are worth to companies less than the company wants.

This is not to say that every single person being laid off is of low value, that’s not true. It’s just it is hard to lay off only low performers, some average or even good performer will always be collateral damage. But, overall, if you want well-performing companies to not do mass layoffs on recession, the only way is to make it more palatable to people to see mass firings in good times.
I don’t get why everybody wants to rebase their topic branches. Just use merge, come on. If you want a „clean“ commit history on main/master do a squashed merge into main at the end.

This way we never had to force anything on the remote.
I'd like to know too!
Prevent contagion in crypto most likely. If FTX is forced to go into liquidation, it's hard to estimate the systemic effect in crypto.

If they're "very dangerous", prove it. Ten years awaiting trial is simply unacceptable.

Bail reform in NY just means poor people have the same right to get out of jail while pending trial that rich people already had.

We (the public) don't yet know how bad it is. CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong said he was also not interested in an acquisition after a small amount of DD. He said we will likely find out how bad it is eventually.
This doesn't make git any easier. The synced and update commands are redundant. If you have

[pull]
rebase = true

in your .gitconfig, which you should, both are the equivalent of a simple git pull. Naming a command `squash` when it does interactive rebase is also pretty confusing.
This is the intent and purpose of _Pragma; it provides a way to use existing #pragmas that are tokenized and handled a bit later, so they can e.g. be included in macro expansions.
This also nags at me. The hype cycle was used to drive TSLA — cool, good for them. But absolutely cuts both ways. I’ve looked at buying one a bunch of times. Beautiful car and I love driving. But it’s a depreciating asset and I hate headaches of customer support.

Crap like this is why people like those managers are able to get away with what they did.

The challenger blew up because the engineer in the room kept vetoing due to the cold temperatures and he was pressured to stop vetoing, which he did.

Feynmans point about the safety factor was a side-point about the general attitude that allowed them to feel safe to put politics in front of nature.

This is WHY he made his infamous quote.

> For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled

The safety factor is what they were claiming to the public and what they used to convince a teacher it was safe, but has absolutely nothing to do with why the challenger disaster happened.
It is worth the investment to learn advanced Git if you're a software engineer. Start by reading the Chacon book cover to cover. It is a major tool you use every work day, so it's important to understand it.
I don't know about Laravel but I think the Symfony documentation has more practical and extensive documentation and guides (the framework does way more than Phoenix so there's probably a correlation there).

There's no equivalent to Hexdocs in PPH land but I think the PHP documentation itself is quite good, once again by usually providing examples for all types/arguments variation for every functions, which the Elixir std lib does not (the REPL allows you to quickly try things though).
Mick says in the statement that he feels like he has exhausted every other avenue of addressing the Open Letter and lack of payment for all of the music used in the game, this is pretty much a last resort that he didn't want to have to publish.
Usually you cannot, but the fed has expressly told us they will be raising interest rates. They could be lying, but I think this is one of the few times you can "predict the future" and expect rising interest rates to influence demand.

Something mentioned in the French article quoted by the tweet is industrial policy.

Right now a new nuclear power plant in France means French jobs, French technology, and French industry. A solar panel most likely means an import from China.

IMHO this highlights the need for a country like France to invest in producing its own solar panels.
I would guess insufficient processes and testing. Even if engineers are too tired and produce a lot of bugs, process and testing should find ensure they dont get into production.
