Yeah, it makes sense when you consider what value landlords provide. A landlord may provide services like maintenance. But a renter pays not only for maintenance costs, but also mortgage costs. And the only benefit they get is the maintenance — not even any of the property value.

Renters essentially finance the ongoing ownership of an asset without getting any of the value back. At the end of the day, the landlord typically doesn’t have to do much work (or can use rent to pay someone to do the work), but gets an entire house in value. Whereas a renter does a huge amount of work to handle the cost of rent, but gets nothing at the end of their stay.

The only difference between a landlord and a renter is that the landlord has enough money for the initial downpayment in the first place. The renter is still covering all ongoing costs associated with ownership anyways, including mortgage and maintenance. (If they didn’t, renting out wouldn’t make financial sense.)

A renter will easily pay $90k over 3 years, but will have nothing to show for it. Whereas the landlord gets 3 years of their mortgage paid off.

The financial aspect of renting is very unfair to renters, and incentivizes perverse behavior. And JUST because renters don’t have the upfront capital for a down payment, or because all housing inventory has been snatched by landlords.

Reiterating: renters CAN handle ongoing ownership costs, because they’re already the ones paying for the landlord’s ongoing ownership costs. In fact, that’s the only way that renting makes sense for the landlord in the first place.

So the entire concept of renting is based on one class of people having capital and one class not.

Too much to hope for, I know but I secretly hope there's a secret side project for a new coreOS release specifically for all Apple Silicon devices. Kinda like what they did with the first Intel release of OSX (they started working on it 5 years before the first Intel Mac).

I'm hoping within a few years, Apple will reveal the coreOS release (no Intel support) that unifies everything from Apple Watch all the way to Mac Pro.

Just to be clarify, I am not talking about simplified iPhone interface on Mac but a new kernel (maybe linux derived?), unified tech stack (radio(bluetooth/wifi), APFS, Swift-only apps, etc) that's the same across all devices. This would allow them to simplify the whole process, work once and make it work right everywhere once.
I don’t think they mean ‘crazy’ in the mentally ill sense because nothing could be a bigger detriment to leadership than the irrational outbursts associated with manic episodes and the crushing inability to function associated with depressions.

Yes, if we had a powerful union that exerted power in the specific ways that you agreed with, I’m sure you’d be happy with it. In fact, why stop there, we could just make you dictator! Or at least someone who exclusively did things you agreed with, if you didn’t want the extra work.

Failing that, we have a bit of a fork. Either we have a union that acts in the interests of its members (which the AMA has done!) or we have a union with some serious principal/agent issues that follows some other agenda, and the odds aren’t very good that you or I would always agree with that agenda.
You're misunderstanding issues versus the mechanism of issue management. You're saying ability to manage issues is less important than any issue being managed, which makes no sense.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a half dozen people I've known who are just horrible all of the time. Nasty to their family, nasty to coworkers, nasty to strangers. I can think of another half dozen who are just in the habit of mistreating service workers.

I wasn't suggesting it was part of Asia, rather highlighting that it was not unusual for Australia or indeed other countries to be part of continental organizations (Israel/UEFA and Aus/AFC/Eurovision) that are different from the continent they're usually considered to be a constituent of (Israel/ME, Aus/Oceania). Regardless I do not think skin tone should come into it.

I don't think there is 'Germany and France' anymore these days. There is Germany and their goodwill towards France, if any, [edit:] because all the power and leverage has been with Germany for years now. Recent years have shown that Germany will of course focus on its own interests and policies and ignore France/rest for the EU whenever they deem fit to do so, while France is in a weaker position. At least it used to be that France had military power going for themselves but recent policy changes in Berlin should really and finally set alarm bells ringing in Paris.

Yup, we have a good benchmarking suite to make sure changes don't cause regressions and that optimization changes actually work.

That said, I think asking a developer to write everything they do twice so that they can A/B test is overboard. You can come back and really aggressively optimize later, but I think the "default" should be the fast thing, rather than the slow & easy thing.
Because they're already EU members and jumping off the Eurozone track would require leaving the EU. Furthermore, the US really isn't interested in territory expansion (unless you're Greenland); we can't even bother to make Puerto Rico a state or American Samoa a territory.

5% of encounters != 5% of people. In fact, even if the poster tried marketing to the same people at different times, he might well have gotten a different 5%. Some correlation, for sure, but still. Not to mention how encounters are a binary thing - another person might get a different 5%.

Also, the samples he's talking about are not really uniformly distributed over the world's population (i.e. "people"), nor even people in the USA.
This is interesting but a huge problem with dietary guidance is that the body and its processes are hugely complex and understanding evolves over time. A year after that was published the American Heart Association gives contradictory evidence. One could trivially spend one's entire life chasing emerging science and receive for your efforts zero benefit while people trivially ignore obvious and clear guidance on basic matters like diet, sleep, and exercise that is unambiguous.

There are many reasons why the MARIOs and the ZELDAs have been so popular with mainstream gamers across the decades.

My wife discovered (with my help!) the Mario games - of which there are many, and varied - a couple of years ago, and a few hours play per week has been both fun and mentally helpful for her. Taking her brain in directions it wouldn't normally go.

Be aware that strategy games tend to be time suckers, by their very nature of gradual patient persistence. This is where shallower more arcade-y styles of gaming can be better, to dip in and out without getting obsessed. They can still be surprisingly deep and tactical.

My shorthand is lazy, but it’s no different than California ($3.3T GDP), Texas ($2.1T), and New York ($2T) carrying the rest of the US states. Europe is stronger together than apart (economically speaking), and this is a good deal for everyone involved (my two cents).

I admit there is always a bit of contention when macroeconomic stress limits are tested. Such is the nature of unions.

Game mods.

Don't have to have a point, just has to amuse you. But you can share it and hope to amuse others, too.

Even some of the games that are easy to mod and provide documentation and everything can be adventures in brain twisting coding. The simplest things can require the most arcane tricks, in service of something like making pink unicorns appear on the battlefield and shoot lasers at your enemies once they've killed you.

I think it's more than 5% on the service personnel side. Customers are a more reliable random sample than service personnel, who are likely to not like their jobs in the first place.
No this should not be correct (that is if you are assuming the 3-5% rules is correct and I'm not saying it is). The people who work for companies are vetted by the company so in theory the percentage of people who are bad would have to in theory be less simply because of that filter. The people a company (or someone is dealing with) is unfiltered hence the probability in theory again should be higher.

That’s certainly true, a correctly predicted branch costs little more than a nop or unconditional jmp.

Code doesn’t have to be branch free, just branch in a predictable way.

Statically branch free code is great when you have things that are genuinely unpredictable, think branches driven by data. You might reach for min/max as an example of that, but in most cases these tend to be highly predictable. Control flow in a decompressor is probably a better example (eg. literal vs copy).
> does the switch to Euros carry any disadvantages to average Croatian citizens?

Ignoring temporary inflation due to businesses taking advantage to round things up in Euros, my belief is the switch will be a net positive.

Croatia has been already completely tethered to Euro. Kuna was unofficially pegged almost from the start, house and car prices are always quoted in Euros, people's mortgages are calculated in Euros. The "loss" of monetary freedom that comes with not being able to print your own currency is not a loss here because Croatia could in practice never leave the peg, the consequences would be extremely severe.

On the other hand, Croatia is a very small country (less than 4m people) and tourism makes up a large portion of the economy. Using Euro removes friction and costs tourists and businesses had having to convert from/to the currency. The removal of the border checks (entering the Schengen, which also happens on Jan 1st) will also help with this.

> other countries like Finland regretting the switch from their currency as they don't want to have to suffer sky high inflation and be punished for being financially responsible just to help other countries like Greece or Italy pay their huge debt.

Croatia will be a net beneficiary (edited, thx) of EU funds related to the integration processes for at least a couple of years, and is near the rear of the pack in most economic measures.

This is one of those questions where you really, honestly, do need to look at a very low level.

Back in the ancient days, I worked at IBM doing benchmarking for an OS project that was never released. We were using PPC601 Sandalfoots (Sandalfeet?) as dev machines. A perennial fight was devs writing their own memcpy using dst++ = src++ loops rather than the one in the library, which was written by one of my coworkers and consisted of 3 pages of assembly that used at least 18 registers.

The simple loop was something like X cycles/byte, while the library version was P + (Q cycles/byte) but the difference was such that the crossover point was about 8 bytes. So, scraping out the simple memcpy implementations from the code was about a weekly thing for me.

At this point, we discovered that our C compiler would pass structs by value (This was the early-ish days of ANSI C and was a surprise to some of my older coworkers.) and benchmarked that.

And discovered that its copy code was worse than the simple dst++ = src++ loops. By about a factor of 4. (The simple loop would be optimized to work with word-sized ints, while the compiler was generating code that copied each byte individually.)

If you are doing something where this matters, something like VTune is very important. So is the ability to convince people who do stupid things to stop doing the stupid things.
What's the probability of similar treks occurring in prehistory among early humans within a period of 50,000-100,000 years. Was the wandering trait an inevitable driver of colonizing all major landmasses? 7 years of effort over such a vast scale of time makes it seem almost inevitable.

Tongue in cheek because I feel nitpicky:

Feels like the above quote is misleading as well. It uses the pattern:

<because reason suitable to my point> <situation that most of us agree happens>.

We agree that situation happens but the reason is not obvious, it just sounds right.

Maybe we will always be vulnerable to be misled, regardless of how we are thought, education won't change that, it just sounds pleasant etc...
Not only you. In my case I had 2 identical monitors both attached to USB-C-to-DisplayPort cables on a 2019 MacBook Pro, and the left and right monitors would swap daily. Fortunately my monitors also had USB-C input; switching one monitor to USB-C-to-USB-C and leaving the other USB-C-to-DisplayPort seems to make the screen ordering mostly more stable. However the OS still moves all windows to the left monitor weekly, so it's not fully working.
Even though I agree that there is probably a fixed porcentage of bastards in the world's population, I think 5% is a too high number. That's one in twenty and I don't think I will find one in twenty people who are the classical bastard in the groups of people I interact with.

I think it's more like 2-3% in my very subjective experience, of course.

I also think that the setting matters a lot. If you are in a very competitive environment, like the author in the article, maybe the circumstances push the number to 5%, but if you are in a relaxed, friendly setting, I think the percentage might lower to 1-2%.

Which of those do you think were elementary grade? Because I'm fairly sure those are GCSE level[0]. In fact, why don't you suggest 20 "basic elementary school math problems", if you suggest 20 that are at that level, I'll put them in and post what it says; no cherry picking results, but I will grade it.

Also, when I was at school, 75%-82.5% was a good score, and looking up the current system, that percentage range is in the top three grades (out of 9) at that level, and can be top grade depending on year and exam board.

That is why I say you are moving the goalposts.

That's why it's important to cultivate managers from engineers, but that's really difficult.

As an engineer that became a manager, and then went back to being an engineer, I know the process well.

I was a very good manager, and I'm a very good engineer, but I love engineering, and hate management.

However, there was no one else that I could trust to do the job, so I took up the mantle.

The IEEE Computer Society has been attempting for years to "professionalize" the software development field with a defined body of knowledge (SWEBOK), code of ethics, education and experience requirements, and certifications. It's a noble goal but so far no one really cares.

I think a lot of people just don't understand the terminology. One can be a professional software developer, but for the most part software development isn't a true profession. It's more like a trade. There is a difference.

I get a large distaste in my mouth when reading pieces like this. Supposed "crazy" people can be found everywhere if you expand your definition enough. Passionate, would work as well. Somehow contriving that the "crazy" ones are the ones that successfully expand and create industries feels way too selection biased. Especially since there is nothing learnable from the examples that are picked.

Worse, it ends with:

America was not always the only country that permitted breakthrough industrialists to build unproven new industries and upend the economic order, but it is today.

Which is at sharp odds with every story of how expensive construction is in the US compared to what we call developing nations. Or nations that typically give wider authority to the government builders than the US does.
Incorrect. Clang C++ vs MSVC C++ is very comparable, and noticeably worse for f64 by-ref. Clang C++ is still slower than Rust by a large margin. Using Clang C++ throughout would not change any conclusion (or lack thereof).
That may be true, but if a given group wants to eat a certain amount of food, either they are throttled and stay at the table longer, or they get their food quickly and the table will get turned over sooner. The throttling limits the ability to turn over tables.

Regarding the staffing, I think the robot server is designed to help save on staffing (not the throttling policy, which may also be intended to not overwhelm the kitchen).
It's also important not to forget that West Germany wasn't immune to the censorship either, and bans, beside what realistically was a Soviet propaganda, also included some really good documentaries and artwork even by today's standards.

> 1. Does that solve the close problem as well as linear types?

No.

> 2. Do linear types solve other problems that the above doesn't?

Yes: destructors which can fail. This is an issue in C++ and Rust. For instance, in most OS closing a file may return an error. With an implicit closure, that is not an information you can retrieve, you have to know that an error can occur, figure out that you might be interested, and add non-standard handling for it (since the standard is to just drop the value).

With linear types, the "close file" function you had to invoke will also return an error you have to handle.

This is a problem with many resource types (though maybe not all).
