That's interesting to know. Annapolis got rid of of 'service selection' in favor of 'service assignment' way back in 1995. I don't know what the final straw was in that case, but I can imagine either submarines weren't getting their due, or all lowest grads were unacceptably dead weight and piling up in one undesirable community...
South Korea might be the country to watch. In Korea too, for many decades people have been sold on the dream that homes will always be a fantastic, high-return investment. But the lowest birthrate in the world means the population already shrunk last year. Covid will have played a part by causing excess deaths but those were quite low in Korea. Adversion to immigration as a potential solution is even higher than in the US and this seems very unlikely to change as well. It will be interesting to see what happens to the housing market giving the extremely rapid aging of the population that is already happening.

We used mmap extensively and it took a gigantic effort to purge it out of the codebase in SingleStore. Lots of issues the biggest one is that munmap has a mutex and you incur a lot of contention.

The second one is that mmap prevents you from a tight control of memory in various pipelining scenarios when you want to have your memory overhead to be constant and not sizeof(data).
Yes, it can, especially because the effects of saturation are cumulative when the ground doesn’t have a chance to dry out.

> Owning a house is not some natural right. Being able to afford shelter is, and renting accomplishes that. If rent is skyrocketing, then there's a problem and the gov't needs to address it. But rents have not grown in relation to the cost of the house - in fact, rent is cheaper in most cases.

Its in your best interest for someone to own their own property. Owning property is one of the key aspects of retirement. If people have no money or property at retirement then you end up as a tax payer, paying for the persons retirement. That causes you to need to have higher taxes to fund peoples retirements.

Owning property is also a safety net, if you lose your job, atleast you have a roof over your head. If not, well, youre gonna pay for it as a tax payer by giving the person the benefit or dole.

> i dont know if you've been misinformed, but foreign buyers haven't been a problem in australia (and NZ and canada) for a while - ever since 2018-2019. Most of the demand for real estate are from locals. Using foreigners is a scapegoat.

Just because after 2018 they didn't influence prices doesn't mean the market didn't get inflated because of them. I've met people in Singapore who are not PR or Citizen in Australia who own property in Australia and just rent it out to make more money. I've met 1 person from China who owns multiple properties in NZ and AU. Who had holidayed in AU but never been to NZ.

------------

The main problem here is people don't want to pay taxes, but want the government to bail them out at every possible road block. They want the government to protect them when it suits them, but 'fix' it if it suits someone else but not them.

So if you remove the government then you need property ownership to go up, if you want more government involvement, you need higher taxes and more rentals at lower costs.

I doubt anything containing 0.0.0.1 is advertised in China (it's definitely not outside of China). Looks like an address someone would use to indicate an error condition.

... which is just another example of the zillions of cases that would have to be dealt with.

Sure, each one is probably quite easy. But the sheer number of them is huge, and many of them will only be uncovered after they fail, setting off a frantic search for the retired guy with the source code.

With Y2K there was a combination of self-interest and hysteria that motivated organizations to tackle it. With this, it's harder to make that case because IPv6 is here already. I'm sure very few of those applications with hardcoded 0.0.0.0/8 are IPv6-ready, but everyone else can move ahead with IPv6 and those old apps will keep working for years to come. Unleashing 172.0.52.7 as someone's residential IP address will result in seemingly random failures that cause headaches for the ISP, application developers, and corporate IT departments. It'll be a very unpopular idea.
This is a contrived example, probably not a real-world use case. The kind of issues I am dealing at work is much more complicated, usually involves more than 3 or 4 tables, serializers are referred by multiple other serializers etc. There is usually business logic involved as well in the query construction. I understand things can be improved, but it's not as simple as writing few queries by hand. ActiveRecord/ActiveModelSerializer provides good composability, but fails to handle N + 1 queries optimally, which is what I am trying to explain.

> > Rust is harder than any other mainstream language to do that in.

> I’d argue C and C++ are both harder. It’s hard to even get these to build once you move past trivia examples (including libraries etc).

Agree I overstated that. What I mean is that, out of the difficult to learn languages, Rust is the only one whose community for opaque reasons denies the difficulty.

> Some of us just didn’t find it that hard.

Why the difference I don't know. So far everyone I know who has learned it has dropped out because they just couldn't get practical traction with it. My guess is that most people who say they don't find it hard are either longstanding C/C++ programmers, and/or are learning at work where they have immediate help & scaffolding.

What is odd is that rather than responding to difficulties with a curious "Oh, I didn't find it hard, I wonder where the difference lay", Rust advocates tend to come back with an aggressive 'proof' that Rust is factually not hard to learn (with implications we can all guess at). No other programming community frequently does this in my experience (and I have brushed against many). That community attitude itself must have causes that are worth thinking about.

A couple of comments ago you were talking about news from "Russian occupied territories", and I was replying to that. The journalists I mentioned were not significant because they are the fountains of truth, but because they report from the occupied territories, rather than from Ukraine itself... where this just happened:

> If you're really this defeatist about the whole thing, you aren't contributing anything to the conversation.

The truth? Are you concerned with truth, or just wishful thinking?

Let's say you have a terminal illness, for example, ALS. Would you lie to everyone, including yourself, and say you're fine, that everything is going to be ok? Or would you admit the truth, and try to come to grips with it?

Of course we would love to have a cure. Nobody welcomes a terminal illness. But the reality and gravity of the situation cannot be honestly denied.

> Environmental issues are a question of tradeoffs and cost-benefits

In the large sense, they're really not, because there's a single planet that supports human life, namely Earth, and if we wreck it, making it inhospitable, then every other tradeoff becomes irrelevant. The livability of the Earth's environment is a precondition for every other human endeavor. You can't have economic activity without ecological activity. And if you aim to convince me to be quiet about that, then the last thing you want to do is claim that we can "trade" the environment for something else. This kind of attitude only reaffirms my pessimism about whether we can, as I put it, get our shit together.

I am dismissive of concern trolling about windmills harming birds and dams harming fish when we're currently facing a period of mass animal species extinction due to human effects on the environment, such as global warming, chemical and physical pollution, deforestation, overfishing, etc.

> if you're philosophically committed to dismissive doomsaying.

I'm not philosophically committed to it, just empirically convinced of it.

I don't know how it's going to go down in the end. What I do know is that humans are essentially less hairy, more talkative apes, and as a group we can't responsibly handle the technology that the cleverest (but not necessarily wisest) among us were able to create. We're like the sorcerer's apprentice, except there's no sorcerer to show up at the last minute to save ourselves from the disaster we created.

We've known about global warming for many decades, yet we've done practically nothing about it, and now hardly anyone can deny that the consequences of it are starting to show. We're already past the point of no return. We allow amoral madmen to control world-threatening nuclear arsenals. We put anything and everything into the water, into the air, into the ground, without any apparent concern for the future. Millions of people are in near total denial of science, believing among other things that the world was literally created a few thousand years ago, and evolution did not occur. And by the way, these people dominate at least one of the two major political parties of the most powerful nation on Earth. I don't know why exactly I should be hopeful about all this. To whom am I supposed to cede the floor? The "pedo guy" guy?

You kinda prove my point, you rent out a room, you can afford a high mortgage repayment and combined income from your rentals covers mortgage payments.

Preventing anyone from ever owning a home. Mortgage payments should be less than rental payments.

Also not EVERYONE will be able to afford homes. But when the middle class are priced out of owning a home, as is the issue, thats a problem.

Edit: you also seem to ignore that house prices have sky rocketed while income hasn’t. So thank you for contributing to the housing issue that causes young people to not be able to afford a home.

That's interesting thanks. I wasn't aware of the Singapore one. It seems to be the broadest, but based on the linked page, it's not clear to me how it would come down here. It requires legal access to the material first, but also says you can't contractually override the copyright exception. I don't know how they would weigh it if you're only granted access based on that contract (rather than it being a small part of a broader contract).

For the case of the EU, based on the way the GDPR and related digital laws are drafted very much in a "spirit of the law" and with individual rights and agency trumping corporate interests, it seems fairly likely it would not just allow coopting personal social media content over the explicit wishes of the creators, regardless of whether any access was deemed legal. For the moment, I think the UK digital laws are still basically just copies of the EU ones as well (with some search and replace) but I guess they'll drift apart over time if there's no de-brexit.

It's also worth noting, especially given how it's written about in the linked post, that these are generally assuming that these uses do not destroy the market for the original works, and they come from the reality before all the art generation. The specific implementations everyone is talking about, especially in the art space, have now pretty definitively proven that we're in a new reality now.
Use mcmaster to figure out what you need, and then many of these drive component type things like rack, gearboxes, bearings, etc. are made to standards.

Even if there isn't a listing for exactly what you need, just message a factory/supplier thatbhas something similar posted and they can likely get it to you.

Doesn't this contradict your central thesis? If the supply of housing doesn't exceed the demand, the price isn't going to drop. How can urban consolidation actually benefit the renter class if property developers are able to artificially increase the value by restricting supply until mechanisms like immigration cause demand to catch up?
This really shouldn't be downvoted regardless of political preference, it's a valid job ad.

What does that have to do with the question I just asked you? Can you just answer it directly?
> I will make one point: in the US, it’s never been the government’s job to build homes.

That might be technically correct on the build part, but the US government used to subsidize home ownership through loans as described in [1], e.g.

It is well known that the Drake Equation is not a serious thing. The history of it was that it was basically a conversation starter. There may be documentaries that likened it to something more solid like Standard Model, but that’s not the case. It’s a hurried back of the envelope pop-culture math-y thing that is full of vague uncertainties. We have a non-random sample of one. How can you estimate anything based on that? You can look this up; the Drake Equation is not considered something really serious, downvotes aside.
If it is just a matter of supply and demand, how come that increase in house prices have outpaced population growth by huge margins in many places? I mean look at places like, e.g. Germany which has a pretty stable population (it would be contracting if it wasn't for immigration), but house prices increased significantly over the last 10 years, pretty much throughout most of the country.

Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City are all in this region. It may not be as dense as Korea, but the Korean peninsula is one of the densest parts of the world so this isn't saying much. If you visit this part of Canada, it feels much like the urban/suburban sprawl of the American North-East across the border.

My point is, that looking at the population density for the entirety of Canada is misleading because most Canadians don't live in Yukon Territory. The population density of the part of Canada people actually live in is much closer to what you'd expect from a typical developed country.
Why not both? Think about something privately, then put it out, see how it stands, think a bit more about it, rinse, repeat.

The cons of public engagement is certain percent of people are assholes, and certain additional percent sometimes prefer to play ones online. Normally it's a low level threat, but if you happen to live in the US and tour thinking is particularly divergent from the mainstream with regard to certain set of subjects, it becomes an extremely high-risk activity, which may involve a possibility of financial ruin and/or physical harm. I hope one day we can grow out of this predicament somehow, but currently it is what it is.

The other con of course is that you may find out your thinking is not as good as you thought, and feel bad about it. I think it's better to know, but people may disagree on that.

Also worth pointing out that this ethno-masking AI is a service that, so far as I know, does not currently exist.

I see SICP listed on every list but I really feel its becoming Knuth-esque.

I've also seen this opinion shared with many seasoned vets throughout my career, just feels overrated.
