> the landlord will do their best to extract any surplus value you generated through your skill and ingenuity

It sounds like you're describing landlord behavior where they don't simply arrive at a target rent and happily collect it, but attempt to actively monitor revenue of businesses renting from them and then ride the line between capturing that in rent increases below the line where it's worth it to the tenant not to move and unacceptable extortion.

If so, that's both interesting and kinda terrifying. I've never considered that rental prices might be set as much by specific tenant income as market conditions, and now I'm wondering if I should never tell any prospective landlord what my real income is beyond minimum requirements.
I'm born with the right to do whatever I want that doesn't violate the laws of physics.

The rights I appear to lose were taken away from me by a society.

I actually don't ever forget that.
Most of the examples you gave are compound words, or made through suffixes and who knows, maybe my Russian teacher told a lie!
If he makes $1m/year why doesn't he sponsor himself for an investor green card? It's a no-brainer.
Modern American right-wing politics has a major underlying grievance narrative: they’re ordinary people, a silent majority, who are being oppressed by the all-powerful Liberal Establishment and that will be the official message even if it’s something like a clear terms of service violation.

This is like catnip for a certain type of salesman hoping that they can try to get you to see their product as a way of asserting your identity while getting you to discount criticism. The WSJ has a certain editorial position but their financial reporters tend not to pull punches, and that’s not what you want if you’re not really better at anything but posturing.
My guess is whoever paid attention to the stars/sky and deciphered solstices could get enough knowledge to start being seen as a holy man. You are able to predict seasons and plan agriculture, etc. Add some secrecy in the mix and you have multi-generational power structures.
Depending on how you make the journey, it isn't necessarily wasted.

For about a year I commuted around 30 minutes by train, from a station <5 minutes walk from home, and <5 minutes walk from the office. I liked reading books or the newspaper in the morning, and the same or staring out of the window on the way back.

It was a good transition between work and not-work. Driving requires too much concentration, cycling is somewhere in between, and working from home doesn't have any of this.

Every few months, generally if I feel I've been really unproductive, I'll walk home from the office (~50 minutes) just to enjoy the walk.
How does the Haskell version fare?
Haha, I had the same experience: ordered the house wine at a restaurant—wine they actually made at that restaurant—and it was thoroughly mediocre :P I'm not much of a wine drinker and Croatian wines from local wineries were fine to my taste, but the ≈homemade wine was an unambiguous step down.
Aren’t the discounts during Black Friday/Cyber Monday scams/fake? They increase the original price weeks before these events. During the events they “lower” the price simulating discounts… but you’re buying the product at its original price. Been tracking some products I’m interested in it always happens.
It's definitely a different experience playing with an automapper. I played the game with grid paper as a kid, sometimes memorizing the easier levels and sometimes laboriously mapping out the levels as I went. I played EOB2 with the maps in the official clue book, only referencing them when I was stuck.

When I played again with ASE, I found that I was mostly staring at the map the whole time - literally playing the game on the map itself. A lot of the magic was gone.
Yeah, I actually pay for Trello premium too because of recurring tasks! I use General Task at work but still Trello for personal stuff. We are actively working on recurring tasks now and are definitely interested in exploring a kanban-style view in the future as well.
These days if I'm watching youtube on my TV I'll usually preference 4K content because 1080 is just noticeably bad. I wish people would start uploading HDR content because it's another huge leap in quality.
(Disclaimer: I've never ran a restaurant). A passionate and skilled cook is good, yes, but running a restaurant is about more than that:

* How do you train and employ an effective wait staff?

* How do you design a good menu that's practical to cook a lot of?

* Where do you source your ingredients from? How do you get the quantities you need (and no more)? You might need to cook dozens or hundreds of a certain dish in a day.

* You need to buy or lease a building suitable for a kitchen and dining room. The location is extremely important & will cost you a lot of money.

* Do you choose to embrace delivery apps?

* Can you handle lunch & dinner rush?

* How do you price your menu in order to remain financially solvent, given everything above? (and likely many factors I'm not taking into account)

Some of these things change depending on the nature of the food (e.g. pizza to go vs sit-down fine dining), but it comes with all the problems of a small business.
the alternative to those inconveniences is random peole running your instance being able to read your correspondence
Technical Blogs You Recommend?
I'm looking for technical blogs about software programming and software engineering. Mainly just for fun but also for educational purposes (broadening my knowledge horizon if you will). Maybe it's just me, but finding good content like that is somewhat difficult. Do you guys have any recommendations for blogs? At the moment I prefer blogs, but I'm also open for book suggestions. Have a nice day.
Net Income per employee was -22,813 USD and the P/E ratio as of November 2022 (TTM): -413.
Totally with you on that. I understand that other people don't want the same thing as I do, and I accept it.

But somehow I don't get that they, on their side, cannot understand the reverse (i.e. that I don't necessarily want what they want).
That still wouldn't be a law giving local wines a competitive advantage.
I always do border solid gold. Feels fancy.
So the guy the administration fired is somehow also the guy to make the current CFTC do what he wants? I’m sure he knows the rules and institutional concerns of the CFTC, but why would he have undue influence over the person who replaced him?
“The average person needs to be able to tell you as a matter of common knowledge why investing in assets that have no intrinsic value is a bad idea.”

Sounds like the Federal Reserve and the other central banks are loathe to have any competition...
Not the poster you’re replying to but I’m also in AgTech. We were at a demo a couple of years ago at a farm. Not a competitor but sort of was doing a demo half a mile north of us. We’d designed for “no connectivity” from day one, including power. Our control station ran on a generator but also had a backup battery to keep the radios alive if the genny dies.

Half way through their demo, there was a power outage at the farm (as happens from time to time). As it turns out, their [insert product] relied on a connection to either AWS or Azure for some key functionality. Power goes out, turns out they had been using the farm internet for that connectivity (LTE service was miserable in the region), so their huge machine just stops and sits there idling in the field. Can’t even command it to return back to the crowd. Meanwhile our drone is still running back and forth on our field area and we didn’t even notice that anything went wrong.
So it's not just Macbooks that dropped the drives?
Do they do red wine and coke over there too? Fairly common in some parts of the world, I'd guess it works well with cheap wine (never tried).
I think the article gets at that pretty well:

> There can be objectively bad pizza — burnt, cold, mushy — but there isn’t really any objective best pizza. Fancier and more complicated pizzas can be more expensive, not because they’re better, but because they’re more interesting. Maybe wine is the same way.
> MicroPython officially becomes part of the Arduino ecosystem

sounds like an acquisition, but

> Expanding on this initial experience we were lucky enough to partner with the creator of MicroPython, Damien George, to port the official the virtual machine to a number of Arduino products.

and

> Luckily we came across the work of Murilo Polese, who developed a simple tool we were able to adapt and use for teaching. The results have been so good that we decided to collaborate with him to produce a tool we can share with the community.

just sounds like they're heavy users - and contributors, to be fair - of micropython. Anyone have a better idea of what the relationship is?

EDIT: A quick look at https://micropython.org/ shows them still leading with the "pyboard" as their official hardware that they'd like to sell you, so I'm leaning towards "partnership" rather than "acquisition". Can't imagine that Arduino would do anything but immediately start pushing their own hardware.
perhaps you could post said evidence?
In the same boat. 15 minute walk to work. I miss having coworkers around, but I also understand that their commutes are much worse in many cases. I still prefer the office, even without the coworkers, because I don't want to turn my home into my office.
It's common wisdom in France. If you're paying more than 20 euros for a bottle, it's probably already too much. And it's very common for people to buy in bulk at the favour of seasonal discounts or from the producer. If you want to look smart at a dinner party, bring a bottle of something nobody's ever heard about that's remarkably cheap for what you get.
TL;DR: "Not yet."
Communicating work schedules and recurring tasks. These industries deal with a lot of turn-over and no-shows.

For context, I designed a laundromat management system for one of the largest manufacturers of laundry machines in the world. Part of the work was flying out to meet with laundromat owners to find out their biggest issues. Scheduling and communication of schedules was a big sticking point (though not something that we ultimately designed into the system we launched).
I believe Coinbase's 2028 bonds are identified by "USU19328AA89". They're down to 53-cents per dollar today.

Note: the bond market is very thinly traded and you may have to wait days before a new trade can establish a new price for a particular bond. I wouldn't recommend reading into any particular price too much, you really gotta "squint" and average things out in your brain.
Is there any difference between a statically typed scripting language and a statically typed compiled language that compiles in <.1s?
A residential landlord can't charge you much more than market rate because you could just move. At some price point a mover is going to be cheaper. Often there's also various rent control laws.

Commercial landlords, especially of restaurants, have way more pricing power because the tenants can't just move. Their customers expect them to be there, or there's a ton of existing foot traffic - location, location, location. And usually tenants put their own money into renovating the space for their needs.
Where are you seeing the Long Beach stuff? I know they once thought about opening Port Disney but as far as I can find that land was given up almost two decades ago.

The Anaheim expansion is limited. They are pretty much just taking over the parking lot. The city council has made it very difficult (fair enough) to just expand onto property they already own so I imagine an expansion into land they acquire would be even more challenging
This is an incredibly underrated "summary".
I'm literally looking for other people with the same dysfunction if you want to talk.

I took a look at Wirth's FPGA Project Oberon, but HDMI I think is simple enough to include. I think compatibility with modern C is a necessity, just because of the wealth that you can pull from at that point; I think it would be too difficult to program a C compiler for Wirth's RISC5 processor, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Your family captures 100% of the value you create for them. Your family captures 10% of the value you create for your employer.

I for sure know where my effort is best spent.

Seems like it could be improved by having instant client side reactions, while letting the notifications come in with the response from the server so it seems more snappy to the user
I've been in the web development industry for roughly 17 years and loved most of it until Agile took over.

Now everything is reduced to ticking off tasks and almost zero room for creativity. Meetings after meetings. Overcomplicated development workflows, or really just everything is overcomplicated. Twenty people to do the job of two, checkups, check-ins, checkouts, checkboxes. Gratuitous positivity makes any genuine gratitude hollow and meaningless.

I've taken the last two years off aside from a little bit of contracting to pay the bills and serves to remind me of how awful it's become. The only times I'm happy is when I can work on weekends or holidays and no one will be pinging me haha.
I wouldn't call it a grand narrative of history. It is grandious and it is a narrative that holds the episodes together, but it isn't even beginning to narrate history because the narrative is explicitly speculative.

So, a narrative of grand speculative hypotheses bound together by deus ex machina.

In other news, reports of the Azores settled by 2000 BCE.
It also didn’t come remotely close to WWIII. Such a stupidly written article. Frustrating how much noise there is.
This depends on the specific kind of wine you're looking for, surely? It would be hard to find icewine for 20 euros, I'd think.
What they did to that poor Full Scale Ridge Racer was criminal. There's absolutely no reason someone would claim preservation, but grab the mazda and let the videogame parts to rot, other than pure malice.
Modern demo scene.

Even more obscurely, the microscopic bracket of size limitations: 140 characters

https://dwitter.net

What's interesting when comparing this to the origin of the demo scene is that now we have ultra super computers everywhere (by comparison), so when you maintain the size limitations: algorithms that would have previously fit, but had impossibly terrible performance - are now possible.

I think this is what makes Dwitter so intriguing: very tiny, simple code, producing seemingly impossible and impressive realtime graphics... made possible because modern CPUs are so fast.

I'm really fond of the scene, the format, the people. And I've learned so much from both doing, and deconstructing from others, and enjoy the art others create using it.
Agreed! It certainly does seem to elicit thoughtful discourse.
Everyone's taste is so different. I've found usually what makes the most difference for me is the wood barrels used to age the wine, and how much time they spend in those barrels. The good barrels are expensive, so the wines are usually more expensive. My friends don't share the same taste, and I wine that I absolutely love is just not their favorite.
I've also found a ton of variation in wines among bottles. I have a relatively cheap bottle I really like that is at the local grocery, and some have that great flavor that I really appreciate, and some are just blah. I've seen the same thing wine tasting, I have a wine I love and I bring the bottle home and it's sometimes not the same. I've kind of narrowed it down to spending time in the trunk of the car while I drive home in 100deg F temps. Now I bring a cooler with me to keep the wine at the cellar temp, but if you ask anyone who knows about wine they would say I'm being ridiculous. A wine fridge isn't required, a short time of the wine getting warm doesn't "damage" the wine, but I swear I can taste the difference. Maybe it's just luck, I've never A/B tested it.
Oxeye Finds Bad Spotify Backstage JavaScript Vulnerability
My primary language is JavaScript, but I use Rust when I need to write more low-level (or higher performance) code. I certainly haven't been writing kernel code or anything like that, but I think it's fair to say that I practice what I preach when it comes to using memory safe languages.
There is nothing heartless about it, if the system doesn't work for people born in one particular country. I say this as an Indian H1B holder.

If anything, the US has given me opportunities that I wouldn't get in India. I work on a front office team at an HFT. In India, for front office roles, most of the HFT's don't hire anyone not from the IIT's. My resume would be thrown straight in the bin, if I were still in India. A while back, FAANG offices in India would only prefer hiring from the top tier Indian schools.
I think people who regularly drink Coke might not notice the difference right away but for someone who drinks diet drinks, regular coke tastes like straight syrup now.
Being a code monkey is fine if one embraces that position with its economic and ambition consequences. It could even be a good economic deal with a 9-to-5 minimal effort mindset.

Being a code monkey who thinks it's their job to be responsible for the company is hard. In that case, I agree with you. Such a code monkey needs to put themselves in a position of power somehow.
Cool Landing Page for Volvo EX90
I was very bullish on tech for a long time. What turned me off was the bad patterns that crop up all over social networks (see Twitter/Facebook culture in re: performative activism) and, more than anything, actually writing code in the year 202X.
It’s a bit of bad wording that gives the wrong impression.

It’s an “official” port of micropython to arduino boards.

So more like “Micropython now supported by Ardunio on our boards” or something like that
I suspect that burnout happens when you strive to achieve something for many years with singular focus on that thing and it fails to materialize no matter what you do.

The way I've protected myself from it is that I never had singular focus on just one goal. I always had a dual goal of 1. Financial success and 2. Learning/self-improvement. This has worked out pretty well so far because I've learned a lot from financial failures so I get some satisfaction even when things don't work out.

My problem now is that I've failed so much and learned so much that I'm starting to doubt that I can improve any more (it's not what I know, it's who I know which counts at this stage). It's like a machine learning model; it's possible to over-train it; beyond a certain amount, it becomes over-fitted to the training data and its performance starts to degrade. A lot of events which look like important lessons are in fact just random flukes and carry little useful information.

After 15 years, I'm getting to the point that I feel like I'm done on the learning side and my focus is shifting more and more towards the financial side of the equation.
I’m surprised by the claim Doom was the first game to use BSP. I remember in the late 90s casually browsing the internet and coming across a demo of BSP and incorporated it into my own amateurish game projects
I worked at Alexa. I'm not surprised by the massive loss - R&D was substantial, and nobody will ever be comfortable buying via voice (I own multiple Echo devices, use them extremely frequently, but disabled voice purchasing the first day I set them up). I did see multiple attempts at alternative monetization, like special voices via neural TTS translation (which work awesome by the way) but the price point will never come close to recouping even the trained model GPU investment I'd bet.

Ambient intelligence is science fiction level cool - especially if it follows you around throughout multiple contexts like Alexa does - but if Amazon's not willing to take the hit on it this halting further inflow seems like a prudent move.
Good point about that. Makes sense then how this issue could surface.
Elon Musk tells remaining Twitter employees no more layoffs 'planned' and
I have 3 major issues with this industry:

1- this is junk food. It's highly processed food, the antithesis of their communication of healthy.

2- their communication is about "saving the planet" from cow farts. The issue is not cow farts. The issue is intensive agriculture and bad quality meat. Cows do not magically create CO2. They fart existing CO2 from grass, and grass capture CO2 from the atmosphere. It's a cycle. What broke the cycle are fossil fuels.

3- the ultimate goal is to put intellectual property on food. Same textbook recipe as Monsanto. And that's the major risk with all these "new protein" companies. We can't have food be an intellectual property.

I might be wrong. But this is my assessment.
Depends what the workers are eating to fuel themselves!
yep. on the regular. especially when a shitheaded boss is leaving me voicemails threatening to fire me.
Geez, yeah, I was going to say that it's clearly bonkers that DNS rebinding can trick the browser into communicating with loopback addresses, until I got to the part of the article that explained how there actually is a mitigation for that. Hopefully Firefox fixes that soon, because I shudder to think how many applications are vulnerable.
This was honestly a pretty poor choice of model to demonstrate their 3D printing capability. While it looks cool, the designer clearly does not know much about the design of rocket engines or fluid dynamics in general, and worse, this model doesn't really make it clear what they're capable of in terms of say minimum wall thickness or maximum unsupported span, surface finish, processing time, etc. Nothing here seems particularly impressive from anything other than an aesthetic standpoint.

Further, it seems they're trying to make parametric CAD, the industry standard for the past 30 years, sound impressive to the layperson using buzzwords.
I'm glad Process-One and ejabberd are still doing well.

This brings back memories for me! My first job out of school was building video conferencing back in 2008. We used ejabbered for presence and messaging, had full federation and everything!

I got to learn some erlang to build modules and integrate with our giant PHP application and then support our flash client. Even got a support contract from Process-One, something I was probably too junior to use properly.

Although I am now frustrated with XML, I remain bullish on XMPP!
