From my experience talking with some people who work in housing for those on income assistance that would be homeless without subsidized housing, there are indeed so, so many different situations that a broad variety in different housing is required!

Some housing is effectively not terribly different from seniors homes, for seniors who simply have run out of money and have nowhere to go.

Some housing is women's only for women who have escaped dangerous abuse situations and do not want to be around men.

Some housing is "dry" for people who previously had addictions issues and are trying very hard to stay that way.

Some housing for people who are "hard to house" and who require a great deal more help and attention than other groups.

It's all important and needed.

My main takeaway is like many deeply complex problems, you have to start to break things up in chunks and tackle things independently. Some aspects easier than others, and others will take more time and money and attention.

If you try to treat everything the same and lump everything together it'll never work.

There are probably two separate optical "gates" in the sensor, separated by roughly half the width of one of the slots.

Cheers. I put the word in quotes to indicate my use was not necessarily an endorsement of the term. And even though it is the most commonly used label and probably the one that's going to stick, I do like your alternative. Yours is probably a better one for discussion of the movement in more academic or formal contexts.

We're living in the Golden Age: they with the gold (money actually) make all the rules.

As the article mentions, the emergence of quasi-monopolies constrains decisions at all levels in service of further maximizing financial gains. The 99.9% are mere pawns in this game.
That doesn't appear to be what Apple & Google etc are doing. The contractors aren't short-term troubleshooters or hired for a project. They're long-term quasi-employees, working alongside employees, often doing similar tasks as employees, just outsourced via a staffing-agency.

They're often paid less than employees (e.g. today's article [1] that includes a part on raters at Google alleges that they get $14 while Google's minimum hourly pay for any employee is $15), and the agency is the one taking the blame for mistreatment while the company can say "we didn't know! that's terrible!" and then get the next staffing agency, tell them exactly what they want, and have another fall guy to take the blame.

It's not about "we need a hundred people for the next 5 weeks on this, quick", it's about not hiring non-essential employees directly. Google will hire the PhDs, but not the quality raters or content moderators, because they are much easier to replace and there's no value to Google in employing them directly while they'd take PR hit if they were the actual employer (even though they're the ones saying what to do, when to do it and how to do it, which is often used as a test whether you're an employee or a contractor).

No, Massachusetts, so probably warmer than you, depending on where you are.

Even in Canada, though, I'd look into whether heat pumps with resistive auxillary heat are economical. If it only ever goes below -20⁰F for, say, a week a year, you'd probably still come out on top. And you'd definitely come out on top environmentally if your electricity is mostly green.
I've never used loctite solder, but I've had excellent luck with Kester or alphametals. I don't see smaller spools than 1 lb on digikey, but they have an excellent spec sheet. Personally, 8oz spools are a good size where they aren't too heavy or bulky, but that's personal preference. Additionally, 0.032" is for me a nice balance where you can still do SMT (id say 0603 is ideal, 0402 can be done but for that I'd recommend smaller) but you can still solder larger stuff, up to around 14AWG wire.

> The causation direction is usually that rising wages cause housing price increases (assuming a tight housing market where houses are in high demand).

40k people move to Seattle each year. 20k new housing units are built. It is sadistic musical chairs, the losers end up moving out of the city at best, or homeless at worst. The winners are stuck paying a huge % of their salary to keep a roof over their head.

When I was looking to buy in 2020, around 10-15 new properties came up for sale in "desirable" neighborhoods (e.g. schools aren't trash) each week. You got to know the same people visiting the open houses each week.

It is a complete cluster fuck around here.

Drop 100k houses on the market and watch prices go down.

The main point was Googles behavior, who is largely unaffected from the tracking crackdown compared to Facebook, and their revenue numbers back it up.

But either way, I think that most people assume tracker-blocking keeps them at least somewhat private, and it’s not as true as the headlines and big corps want you to think it is.

I did the opposite:

I took very seriously studying and setting up neovim. I've been using vscode and sublime text before that.

After 3 months, I found an incredible amount of edge cases that I don't want to deal with, especially surrounding shortcuts, which is a core part of a text editor from my perspective.

I gave up, in the end I spend way more time reading code than typing code, my time is better invested into studying documentation than learning how to "type and modify code faster". I do most of the coding in my brain either way and the customizations I have on vscode are sufficient.

I will admit that I came with an understanding that wasn't satisfied, that is:
I thought vim is made to be used "only with keyboard", meant that it had an exceptional keyboard-only experience. That's not the case, it has a keyboard-only experience, but it's far from optimal, there is a lot of customization that needs to be done either way and the documentation for such customization is not there, you have to mix stuff between vim and neovim.
I prefer waux, as in faux.

I’m pretty sure Spain just started a golden visa program. These things probably move in cycles depending on the economic conditions and the governments.

If you’re really loaded, you can just buy your way into become a citizen of Malta an get your passport that way. I think Cyprus might also have a similar program:

Does it really matter if it is golden visa or any other visa? at the end of the day increasing the population cause increase in house prices, it happens everywhere. Maybe countries should learn from Japan, the only sane country which doesn't push for population growth by immigration or any other means. It is no surprise that house prices there are reasonable, even in major cities like Tokyo. It is easier to just stop population growth rather than increasing the rate of building new houses and infrastructure, at least in the developed world where there is so much regulations and barriers.

The advice I wish I knew is to not buy an inventory of parts. I bought a bunch of resistors, capacitors, LEDs, etc., with no specific plan. Most of it sits unused.

There's no point in keeping an inventory because almost every project will require a parts order anyway. Just order what you need per-project.
This article has stated very clearly and succinctly something that a lot of knowledgeable people have been screaming about for a long time. Excellent work.

> Two-thirds of people swept from camps declined the offer of temporary shelter

This is not terribly surprising. People are regularily preyed upon in shelters, suffering abuse and having their things stolen.

A few years ago when many homeless were camping in Strathcona Park in Vancouver, I was speaking with a person there and they said that they were offered housing in an apartment owned by a slumlord and he stayed there one night and left to sleep in the park again, because the situation in the apartment was worse than staying in the park.

I don't doubt his story but it is absolutely remarkable in that it speaks to the incredibly low quality of shelter and housing that is offered to people. I am not at all surprised that people would feel safer and healthier sleeping outside.
100% agree. The fact that giant majority of the last X years of economic progress have ended solely in the pockets of the landowners and landlords is a tragedy of our times.
This seems like a "me too" comment, but I agree on family sharing being fairly poor for most (IMO) families. I still love steam, but I was really excited to share my library of 300 games with my son who just got a steam deck (like I could easily do if I had hard-copies), but no. We have to take turns playing (different games). Now we need to be creative whose account owns which game when making purchase.

Also kind of frustrated any time I see someone complain about this, there is a horde of people saying "you're wrong and greedy, steam is awesome".

I realize doing this the "right" way might be impractical from a licensing standpoint (or people cheating the system). It still pales in comparison to hard-copies though in this regard.

I expect you're right about the depth of the till, but it has more to do with than just the roots. Healthy soil is a living ecosystem, and tearing it up wreaks havoc on that ecosystem. To deal with that, we apply synthetic nutrients, which do feed the plants in the short term, but the soil continues to degrade over time, requiring ever increasing quantities of chemical inputs. It's not a good situation over the long term, and it doesn't take a super computer to figure that out.

Question - you mention caps, I've always found them to be the easiest component to desolder. Just heat one pin and rock the cap using your other hand, sometimes you need to rock back and forth several times if the layout is tight, but this method applies way less heat to the board and cap. Once the cap is out, even one of those useless solder suckers will easily clean the hole in the board. You pretty much need to have a vise or some sturdy way of holding the PCB where you can access both sides, but this works way easier and doesn't destroy the cap or delam the board.

> Some of this can be explained by employer sponsored healthcare and other benefits for employees.

I don't see how. Those things aren't new, and aren't better than they used to be. Their impact applies to before "the divergence" at least as much as it applies now.
Start with this representation:

struct Node<TKey, TValue>
{
uint bitmap;
KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[] entries;
Node<TKey, TValue>[] children;
// Node = Leaf of bitmap * children | Internal of bitmap * children
// We inline that sum into a struct where
// Leaf -> entries != null
// Internal -> children != null
}

Now consider the case where leaves are somewhat sparse. That means the children arrays will have few entries, so instead of allocating a bunch of one-element arrays for children which themselves allocate a bunch of one-element arrays of values, just inline the value arrays in the parent. Now propagate that same idea for internal nodes all the way back to the root.

Also, because these are all structs, the JIT should specialize the code generated for each level so it should be pretty fast. IIRC, the speed difference between the original and the inlined representation was noticeable but not crazy, but the memory use difference was considerable. This was all years ago though, first implementation was 2013.
Software has zero marginal costs and infinite supplies, and therefore the free market would only ever give it a price of zero. The reason that it does not is because of the government interfering.

Economics is very clear on this. You tax negative externalities and subsidize positive externalities. Discovering new open source software is a positive externality. Subsidize it.
We are running a large single head Mitsubishi ductless h2i in Montana. It easily provides most of our heating needs down to about -5F and some heat down to -15F, we have our old propane boiler / in floor system that kicks on when its really cold.

And it provided ac in the summer which we didn't have previously.

There are some downsides, it was expensive to put in and the outdoor unit is loud. While it does save us money, it probably wouldn't make sense as something that will pay for itself in heating costs with current propane prices and natural gas is much cheaper if you can get it. But definitely makes sense for new construction especially when paired with a wood or propane stove for back up heat in power outages/ambiance/quick heating.
2% is just inflation. so you’d have the same $1 buying power in 900 bc as today.

5% and your argument would make sense. but besides revolutions, I think it’s hard because of variance to hit +5% 1000 times in a row and never -99%. you only need 10 bad years at -10% to go down 99%. from there to get back up you need a 10.000% and that’s not gonna happen.

the best bet as a theoretical thought, would be to buy useful natural resources and hide it in many different jurisdictions, as well as buying land.

Not sure about the OP but having used Emacs for 4 years and being proficient in Elisp, just the fact that I can spend a small amount of time writing Emacs lisp to automate anything. Like for example spending a few minutes to make any Jira ID text a link to the tickets page, list my GitLab ToDos at the bottom of the screen, or perform complex multi-step data manipulations/visualizations accessable from a single key binding. The more things that enter Emacs, the more things can be automated together.

> I think that would be more like Roald Dahl doing it himself

And Dahl actually did make some changes in new editions himself. Perhaps the most notable being his changes to the portrayal of oompa-loompas. Dahl commented :

> I created a group of little fantasy creatures.... I saw them as charming creatures, whereas the white kids in the books were... most unpleasant. It didn't occur to me that my depiction of the Oompa-Loompas was racist, but it did occur to the NAACP and others.... After listening to the criticisms, I found myself sympathizing with them, which is why I revised the book.
