Yes, but it had fuck all to do with immigration.

The UK's housing issues are largely a housing policy problem.

Its not that the UK has a shortage of accommodation units, its largely that the free market rewards property value speculation over actually occupying those accommodation units in areas of high demand, and having actual tenants is seen as a liability.

There is an imperial assload of empty residential units across the UK (and especially in London) where the owners are deriving greater value from pure speculation than rent seeking.

There's other aspects to the issue than this, but that's one of the bigger issues that could be resolved with policy changes to penalize the fucking absurd practice of keeping properties empty.
Well yea, but this is an "opposing viewpoints that makes you think" in the same way asking an 8 year old their opinion on geopolitics is "an opposing viewpoints that makes you think".

I think your attitude around the word "user" is putting the cart before the horse, which is what the user above was getting at. The problem isn't that we use language that infantilizes users, the problem is that infantilizing users is how you get the largest market share. Google isn't going to shift their design philosophy away from "ease-of-use" because of language use, the language use would shift with the design philosophy.
Programming language theory and formal verification have been relatively hot during the last 10-15 years and show no signs of slowdown. Still, a relatively niche area.

Also the intersection of CS, probability and statistics is a very interesting area to work on. Less trendy than deep ML, but really practical. See e.g. Stan, Pyro, Andrew Gelman's books, etc.
Just tried this, shaved a playbook from from 8 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes 10 seconds! Thanks :)
That won’t help. There’s hundreds of thousands (nearing or exceeding a million) people like this in the USA alone. If that worked, it would be widely practiced.

These mental illnesses break the ability of an individual to choose to do what’s best in terms of medication, treatment, and lifestyle. The illness makes one not want to be properly medicated.

Someone can be consistent with their treatment and lifestyle for many months, but it just takes one trigger and a couple days off medications to lose all progress.
> The question is why it increases so much faster than inflation.

Does it historically?

Looking at "Case-Shiller Home Price Index vs. CPI (US)" (second graph on this page)

https://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-vs-inflation/

housing prices tracked inflation very closely until the dot.com era. Then housing prices started to rise faster, until the 2008 crash. Then housing prices pretty much reverted back to the inflation curve.

The last decade has been an unprecedented bull market with low inflation, so yes, over these ten years housing prices have run away from inflation. But now inflation is rising and housing is dropping. It's anyone's guess whether it'll drop back to the inflation curve but it well might.

So it's clear that housing prices have much larger market swings than the steady march of inflation, but it's not clear that in the long run it actually outpaces it much.

Would be most interesting to see this same graph on a per-city basis instead of nationwide average, but I didn't find that info. Certainly housing prices will outrun inflation in a few hotspot markets like SF or NY. But that also means that for most regular cities the housing prices don't increase at the rate shown in the graph.

Well, someone running a nearby Dyson Swarm might as well run a couple thousand telescopes when they are at it, even to just make really sure no habitats are ending up in collisions with comments and extrasystem asteroids. In spare time such system could be used to look for interesting stuff in other systems, possibly like a big synthetic telescope of some sort.
My problem with this kind of things are its assumptions: life is made of carbon, every discovery being conditional probability of being discovered, each civilisation makes exactly the same chain. And the biggest of all: life is the most general and important thing for everything that comes to be in the universe. I.e, everything lives in our own terms

I doubt it was even sincere to begin with. There's no money in that.

As has been stated ad nauseam (and you seem to be ignoring) it's a red herring. You instead spend $200 for the VESA adapter and put it on a monitor arm. Which is reusable for your next monitor (and the monitor after that, and the monitor after that etc. etc.)

Heck, I can't remember the last monitor I had that I kept the stand - it goes back in the box, and into storage until the warranty expires and then it goes in the trash. The Monitor goes on a VESA mount arm.
It doesn't disprove it, but that's not sufficient, is it? Is your argument about their (lack of) number system? Before we could speak, we had no knowledge of numbers, according to this theory. How did we ever get beyond that? Aliens?
More and more I think Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis is probably correct. It's all just mathematics. So basically, shut up and calculate.

That question would be is forced denial of treatment for the mentally ill ever humane. I question how many mentally ill people on the street are there because they were given a choice to avoid treatment or if they were driven there by circumstances. The cognitive disruption of most mental health treatments would make most any sane person question their value versus quality of life.

I do agree that mental illness definitions are a problem. Even forcing treatment on just those who are a danger to society makes me leery given that hostile social posts are now a social danger.
Have you got a chance to read "Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases"?
Java is a very surprising language with a lot of strange corner cases (a lot of them related to reified generics and wrapper types).

There is also a lot of magic going on in JVM e.g. there is one optimization that causes stack trace to be omitted if the exception is thrown from a given place a lot of times. Beginners then see an exception without a stack trace and are stuck. SO rel: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3010106/1779504

> And sure enough, Epic Games wrote in a blog post today that it believes this is an inflection point for evolving regulatory standards around online gaming. “The old status quo for in-game commerce and privacy has changed, and many developer practices should be reconsidered,” the company wrote. “We share the underlying principles of fairness, transparency and privacy that the FTC enforces, and the practices referenced in the FTC’s complaints are not how Fortnite operates.”

Sounds like Epic Games is about to try out regulatory capture.
I can't think of a single piece of software that has cloud syncing, for free, with no option for payment.

I'm not sure who is running it (hopefully some well funded academic group), but it restores me faith in humanity a little every time I press sync and don't get CTA'd to sign up for some subscription.

Amazing tool, kudos to the devs, and if there other comes a time where payment is required, I would be happy to chip in with the above being said.
Also, where should people be homeless? Literally I cannot pay rent next month and have no one willing to take me in.

> It is really good, but one thing I have learned to appreciate is that some books just don't work for many teenagers yet. Classics in particular!

I think it was Forster who wrote (I'm paraphrasing) that trying to teach teenagers literary novels is almost pointless, and more likely to piss them off than enlighten them, because they simply don't have the highly-developed sense of empathy to appreciate them yet.

In the end it doesn’t whether we go to infinity in one norm or the other.

For fast startup, look at GraalVM/native-image which compiles Java to native code and works very well.

Downsides are that highly dynamic and reflection-happy Java code bases/libs won't run OOTB, that using profile-guided optimization (for achieving or surpassing HotSpot perfornance levels) requires a commercial EE license from Oracle (about 300-400 bucks per seat last I checked, not required for mere development until used in prod or at customer sites, and bundled with commercial JRE/JDK subscription since about a year), that even with EE your garbage collector choices are limited, and the somewhat overwhelming number of optimization flags to pass to native-image, not unlike earlier JVM runtime arg excesses.
For that small price you get security against everything except memory leaks (which you don't get anyways in this bare C++ either) not to mention other Rust niceties while keeping superficially same convenient semantics.

XMLs, JSPs, Java EE are relics of the old age. They were built during late 90s and early 2000s. No new projects use them. You can’t say Java is bad because of how things were 20 years ago.

I would take anything from SemiAnalysis with a heavy grain of salt. The author has a very biased view on companies and often states conjecture as fact. A lot of their numbers of company attrition are based on questionable extrapolation of a few high level employees that left.

I had an extended sabbatical during the lockdown where I made an effort to rekindle my reading habit - one thing I noticed about my attention was that it came in waves. Within a minute or two of really sitting down with a book, my attention would wander; if I ignored it and attended to the book, I was fine. Fifteen or so minutes later, my brain again started wandering; getting past this mark gave me another 45 minutes to an hour of focused reading. In previous years at work, I'd find that if I didn't succumb to distraction at that 45-60min mark, I could usually get another hour and a half or two hours of serious focused work in.

I had a solid year of sabbatical in which I was able to really get to know my attention span - it's much harder to maintain and cultivate now that I'm working again, but learning those patterns has given me a lot more confidence in my ability to exercise my attention span when needed.

I think a better way to frame it is "most _chronically_ homeless is due to mental illness". However, most homeless people are not chronically homeless, and are homeless for <6 months. Those are the single mother of two who lost their job at the plant examples - or left an abusive relationship and is living in their car, or underemployed as a security guard and sleeping in a sheleter, etc.

Unfortunately, and equally sad, many of these folks work, send their kids to school, and struggle to get themselves into a stable long-term situation.
For sure I definitely see that, but I think Stadia solves a different problem. If you are already heavily invested in something like Steam and have the hardware, Stadia doesn't really solve your problem. If you don't have the hardware, maybe the computer you can afford is a $200 netbook, or you can't travel with your gaming PC, but can pay the monthly fee and occasionally the cost of a game, then Stadia could solve the problem, barring a good enough internet connection. Which when I tried it was my case. I didn't have a gaming PC, I just bought an M1 Macbook Air, so didn't really wanna dish out more money for hardware, Stadia could have allowed me to game on my M1, but once again, bad internet connection. How I play locally and have games on Steam since my job provided me with a home gaming PC and they don't care what I do with it so long as I can work from home with it (no company spyware).

But yea, if you have the hardware already, the value add wasn't really there. But for the broke college student, or broke adult who can't justify dropping hundreds/thousands today but can eat a few bucks a month. Or someone who travels often for personal or work, then the value add is there.
I love my M1 Air, but I never understood why these high-tier workstation places put up with Apple in the first place.
The problem comes with "incapable". What about marginally capable people? Where are you going to draw the line?

The solution to that might be to not have a binary line. The less capable they are, the more we can choose for them, but it's not all or nothing. (No, I don't have any idea what the details look like...)

Amiga wanted (wants) to make an open source branch. Cloanto said the same on multiple occasions. I know people who saw settlement drafts with Hyperion, the provision was there. Ask the 3.1.4 developers in the forums.

Hyperion lawyer-owner Ben Hermans, who is an "experienced IT litigator" is the one who keeps blocking it, like he keeps blocking the 2019 acquisition and the transfer of all assets into Amiga Corporation. He even sued his own managing director, Timothy DeGroote, to stop the settlement with the Amiga parties (Amiga/Itec/Amino/Cloanto).
> Our work on education goes back to the foundation’s earliest days, and our focus on improving math skills goes back almost as far. Although there are many factors that affect a student’s trajectory, the evidence shows that it’s extremely important for them to succeed in math. For example, those who pass Algebra I by ninth grade are twice as likely to graduate from high school and more likely to go on to college, get a bachelor’s degree, and go on to a high-paying career. And those who don’t complete Algebra I have just a one-in-five chance of graduating from high school.

This looks a lot like correlation/causation confusion. Inability to understand basic algebra seems like it would be strongly correlated with learning disabilities or significantly below average IQ. Getting more students to squeak by with a barely passing grade won't fix those underlying issues.

The woman's law firm is in active litigation with MSG Entertainment. She knows she's not allowed on the premises while the lawsuits are unresolved. They saw her and kicked her out.

But this is a controversy because Girl Scout Mom got spotted by facial recognition I guess. Not the fact that she was trespassing.

Last month MSG revoked the corporate suite leased by a law firm that was _actively suing them_. And they made the same big stink about how unfair it was that they can't go to Knicks games anymore.
You start with requirements, build a team, and then choose the tools that the team feels most proficient with. You start building a house with a detailed blueprint and agreement on the materials, not by shopping for the "best" hammer and saw.

Terms like "full-stack," "2-way API connectivity," "low-latency," "highly secure data exchange" don't count as requirements. They may serve as top-level headings for detailed requirements, or constraints.
