> You can never just change the amount owed.

Let me introduce you to a scary concept of mortgages in foreign currencies :)

We had that in Poland over a decade ago: People would get loans in Swiss franks, and when exchange rate went from 2 PLN per 1 CHF in 2007/8 to 4.8 PLN today the amount owed (expressed in PLN) more than doubled. Of course right now such loans were deemed illegal and courts are invalidating them now, one by one, but for a long time it was a real burden for people.

Thanks for the clear and detailed response! It's what I feared it meant. It's a pity they need to use such deceptive language, I find.

I really liked notion as a product. This is kind of a wakeup call for me that using the cloud pretty much means giving up control - and not just theoretically.
Housing isn't a scarce resource. If it was, there would be far more homeless people living on the streets.

What is scarce, however, is affordable housing. The problem with housing is indeed the artificially propped up prices which makes it impossible for people to buy new housing.

Btw, this does not counter the YIMBY argument, which argues that we can drop housing prices by making housing easier to build. Part of that would be by increasing supply. But another major part of the YIMBY argument is that if housing was easier to build, everytime a developer got an opportunity to build new housing stock in a desirable area, they wouldn't always need to go for the highest value, i.e. luxury housing, build. They could actually look at market needs and build affordable and/or starter housing.

Right now getting the right to build a property in desirable areas is a once in a decade opportunity, so they're willing to keep their built housing empty for many years, because they won't get a similar opportunity until much later, if ever.

Those are the same thing. His management style involves publicly berating his employees over twitter, insulting his own company, and firing on a whim. Nah, I'll pass. There are so many better run companies out there, I'm here to work not babysit the CEO.
Huh? If you live in a condo, you have no house but you are not homeless. A house is only one kind of shelter that can be a home, of many.

Seems like a weird take to me. Chemical rocketry can meet all of our space "needs" (e.g. satellite launches) and many of our space "wants" (e.g. solar system exploration, large space telescopes). The "chemical" part of chemical rocketry has proven to be pretty economical - the fuel itself is just a small portion of the cost of a rocket. It's building the thing that's expensive.

Why incur the safety hazards of nuclear propulsion or the large fixed costs of something like a sky crane when we've just developed reusable rockets?
You can refinance in a few years, however you cannot change what the house price was when purchased.

If the house prices is lower, every extra payment to the principal will drastically decrease the interest over the entire term, much more-so than the initial larger loan/principal.

Not sure why everyone thinks that telnet is "not suitable for today especially in the case of security", although telnet over TLS exists. There are also certain things that telnet can do which SSH cannot (e.g. transport data for a block terminal).

And everyone who uses "telnet as a program for connecting to a server on any port and talking the protocol manually" forgot that telnet is a real protocol and this type of abuse only works if the telnet client is sufficiently dumb / doesn't negotiate parameters. There is a reason why netcat exists.
If anything, I find this to be a, perhaps unintentional, damning indictment of psychology and psychiatry in general.

If your discipline cannot clearly define things in a reasonably concrete and provable way, such that it is readily apparent to the patients and the public at large, and also such that the language effectively clarifies itself out of necessity, then much of what you do needs to be strongly questioned -- and often not taken too seriously.

I'm reminded of e.g. the term "neurodivergent." It's a good thing to look at, but how do you falsify it? Who can stand up and say "I'm definitely not neurodivergent?" If you can't do that, the term is not very helpful.
Yah, nothing the GP says makes any sense. I've been working with large code bases with many languages for many years. None are perfect, but the GP makes no sense, sounds like poor decisions or poor code rather than a poor language.
Even with the paywall in place, you can read the first sentence of the article which indicates high mortgage rates are driving the decline. People literally can't afford the monthly payments at current prices, now that interest rates are higher. Thats why prices will fall.
This is essentially innovation theater for a fairly lackluster core product. Adding AI for a feature no asked for is like straight piping your Honda Civic to make it sound like a race car. At the end of the day you're just driving a loud Honda Civic.

Javascript is a multi-paradigm language as are most others people are mentioning in these threads. It shows in the specification for the language too: higher-order functions, anonymous functions, Array.map/filter/reduce, etc. Like it or not the language has facilities to enable programming in a functional style.

There are advantages to this approach like enabling different styles when appropriate.

There are disadvantages as well: you rely on the discipline of the programmers or tools to catch mistakes.

But there's nothing inherently wrong about thinking of programs in terms of FP ideas. There are other ways to think about programming than in terms of program counters, control flow statements, and procedures. It's not even idiomatic Javascript to write code that way!

JS is a more functional language than most people seem to think.

The tragic thing about TFA is that it's not an article but a chapter in a long series of posts and this is just one step along the way to showing how an FP style can manage the complexities of a non-trivially large JS code base.
Artemis I Launch Used the Worlds Largest and Most Powerful Solid Rocket Boosters
Between my current pre-coffee state and working with WSL2... seeing version 1.0.0 released I actually thought for a moment this meant the ability to run Windows as a subsystem on a Linux machine or something.
I already work (remotely) much less than my contract says. I simply can't stay engaged to cognitively demanding tasks for a full day. The rest of the time I just feel kinda bad for slacking, which increases my stress levels for no good reason. If I got the permission to actually work less, I wouldn't feel so bad about it, which would probably lead to less stress and higher productivity.

I work in finance and I can attest that 90% of the work people do in my office could simply be left undone and no harm would come to the world or even the company. The industry just has a culture of "being very productive" which leads to people doing something all of the time, even when they don't have a clue what should be done.
WSL has been a deitysend, I appreciate it quite a bit now. It allowed me to get out of Macos development hell, allows 'dropping into' Linux easily from Win if one is too lazy to dual boot, and especially useful in enterprises where Win/Mac are the only options.

That said I will agree with other comments here, the version numbering is weird. I can't even tell _how_ to tell what version of WSL I have. Versioning is still an unsolved problem even for tech giants I observe.

seems like they wanted to launch an "AI" feature as fast as possible, so they took the easiest route which is basically just creating a UI wrapper around GPT-3 for generic text generation

that's what it looks like to me at least, I don't see anything here that 50 other generic GPT-3 tools don't already do. It's just embedded in Notion
> Every year, maybe one or two kids left to go to other schools and one or two new kids joined, but for the most part I grew up with the same core set of children for seven years. I honestly believe this had a permanent negative effect on my ability to socialize and form new friendships that I am only barely beginning to correct over a decade later.

While I believe your experience to be entirely legitimate, what you are describing is the norm throughout most of Europe and I can assure you that most of us are socially adjusted (or at least somewhat socially adjusted).
However, this is a list for students, teachers, and researchers, and within that context, precision is important. This group of terms in the article is not about policing - something like "crazy" or "schizophrenic". It's about technical terminology within that particular context.

It also was a good article about the problems behind the mental model.

Yes, central banks printing money relentlessly for more than a decade has nothing to with it. We the people are to blame!
I've concluded amazon is a dice roll. I know people who work there and it's a chill deal, and I've heard plenty of stories who bounce out before they get their initial vest. You just have to be ready to put in solid effort and know that you might end up with a bad situation.
That's....okay?

Yeah, but consider the source. :) Bloomberg writes for the investor class.

It does suck for anyone who's in a position where they _must_ sell their property right now, and not buy another one.

It's important to note that investments can lose money. It's a risk one should understand. If you think this sucks, this is just capitalism. There are winners and there are losers.

No better point re: living in fear and rumorville. Same experience for me in 2008. I also saw the same effect post dot-com bubble.

Layoffs in our industry are simply part of the long term game, part of a playbook that folks coming into it in the last decade or so probably haven't experienced. My eyes were opened in the dot-com crash - I saw too many extremely smart, hard-working, and accomplished developers get dropped and spend a year or more getting back into programming gigs.

They also call their employees "spooners" and talk about how they "they share one thing in common: a drive to become the best person they’re capable of being."

Statements like "Are you ready to come join us in the Spooniverse? We saved you a seat." also make it sound a little like it's a cult.

With that being said, their goals seem admirable and they are scoring pretty well on some employee satisfaction inquiries, so it's perfectly possible that they are actually living up to their ambitions. A fitness app might not seem like a lot, but they may just be working their way up to something bigger.
"Luxury" housing is the market need when building is so suppressed.

Also, most new construction is going to be labeled luxury, then later enter the affordable supply. This is the lifecycle of housing.

It is, and there is a lot of effort being expended to remediate that - there's a reason why some people use pre-2011 thinkpads. I think it would be pragmatic in new endeavors to do things right and correctly from the start, so that remediation isn't needed later.
Fabulous book and a great introduction to programming in 1982. It put me on the road to a career in development.

Read Musk's Midnight Email Telling Twitter Staff to Work 'Long Hours'
> 40 hours of work a week

The concept of hours per week is shaped by it's origin in production manufacturing.

Most people who are in a position to discuss 4 day weeks are in the Service Sector or otherwise 'creative roles'.

This is analogue to the argument of why do we not pay developers by lines of code. Both time and LOCs are not necessarily linear with productivity and delivery of function.

Arguing for pay to be linked to time is in my view an artefact of the production & manufacturing origins of modern work.

So to come back to your point. Previously both parties agreed that 40 hour week was worth this much money. Now both parties agree that this link with time is a bad metric and that pay is provided for the realization of certain function or deliverable.
and we'd likely have a healthy housing market if more people were rational like this.

But no, let's take a loan out against our RSU's so we can get a $1M bi-level because the schools in this district are amazing /s. Now a house in North Carolina is worth as much as one in New Jersey.
I never own a macbook, but wouldn't a default install with only one application installed being an hypervisor to run a linux vm work for you? I guess that is totally what I would be doing if I was asked to use MacOs, using all but 2GB of ram to the VM.

I have no idea which is available for Mac but I think all modern hypervisors support multiple monitors nowadays.

A slight correction: An organizational unit larger than a 2 pizza team -- think 50 engineers, is expected to cut 5-10%. A team within that unit may lose 0 engineers, which is how high performing teams that meet all their goals stay intact.

Elon Musk tells Twitter staff to work long hours or leave
I haven't worked at Amazon, but my experience with the world of "pip" culture is that it only really appears when value is difficult to define, which is strong evidence of bloat.

Every time you hear a story of someone at Amazon being pip'd it always comes as a surprise to the IC and, most importantly, they don't know how to avoid it.

This doesn't happen in a world where creating value is well defined. For example in the sales world nobody is confused about their performance. Sure there may be unfair reasons for having a poor sales cycle, but the sales person has zero problem identifying how they can create more value to the company: close more deals.

But I see lots of comments, both in person and online, of Amazon employees fearing a pip and not knowing the right way to keep their manager happy. This, at least to me, is evidence of the bloat. The high pressure ironically comes from the fact that nobody knows how to create real value, so they are stressed out trying to figure out how the game works.
Yep, the geeks were duped. It reminds me of a documentary from about 20 years ago where Eric Raymond is boasting to some Microsoft Exec that open source was their worst nightmare. Yeah open source sure showed them, by providing lord only knows how much of the Azure infrastructure for free.
A lot of people won't want to work for him, but a minority will want to a lot mostly for political/cultural reasons. I suppose if it's sustainable for the tech world to bifurcate the way the media world has Elon could be the Rupert Murdoch of tech.

From my perspective right wing brands tend to have a .. how to put it .. second rate or imitation feel to them and working for them seems akin to playing professional basketball in Europe rather than the NBA.... That's off putting to me personally but probably feels first rate and awesome to the intended audience. So maybe his brands will remain mainstream but they are at risk of being ghettoized into the American flag with a flaming skull painted on the hood of your Dodge Challenger demographic.

We'll see how it works out for him! If it succeeds it's bound to make life worse for the kinds of people who don't share his ideological and cultural positions just because he'll prove that it's economically viable to alienate them. For that reason, yes, I think they are hoping for him to fail and the predictions that he definitely will have an air of wishful thinking to them.
I worked at a place that used confluence as a knowledge base. There was nothing that a git repo of txt files and grep couldn't do better. The search function was useless on top of being incredibly slow. Maybe they were not using it correctly I don't know.
I would imagine nvidia and AMD are pretty high up there as well.
The biggest bloat I've found in big companies is duplicate teams. You have one problem needing to be solved and a couple VP's running a program trying to make it happen under their domain.

I generally see this play out as, one team trying to tackle the problem with a prototype and demonstration of tech. The other team just acquires as many people as possible and writes a bunch of documents. Then it gets run up the flag pole and the solution seems to be to go with the team that already has all the people.
Picasso offered a drawing in a napkin for $1M dollars, even though it took him 1 min to draw it. You know the gist. Bezos might do 20 hours a week of “work” because he scaffolded a giant organization around his brain, so he only needs to provide certain input. Besides, much of the non-work time, such as public speaking and so forth, is actually work.

Also the ultimate test is whether after confessing to your real contribution, people are ok. I don’t think any amazon employee was annoyed after hearing this so called interview, whereas is your company knew what you were charging them for, they would fire you.
And this is the time they at least pretend to be working. The amount of hours they actually do something productive is going to be much less.
It is rude, but it is reasonable. When a child acts unruly and immature he must be disciplined with a forceful hand. I called you out harshly and the harshness was fucking deserved, no matter how miffed you get about it.

An ICEV chassis does not make a very good EV. The ICEVs that have been converted to EV, like the Ford Focus EV, don’t have enough room for a larger battery and have usually only had a battery with around 70-100 mile range. The battery usually intrudes into the cargo area reducing the space for luggage and groceries.

Another problem is that the EV conversion adds a lot to the price. Then at the dealership, customers see an expensive Focus EV sitting next to a less expensive ICEV Focus and they tend to choose the less expensive option.
