I imagine if you are really good at the other job the software can teach people a lot. You can force patterns where they should exist (do things in the right order) and not force them where they shouldn't be.

I think with less skilled labor the developer knows even less than they think.

Say the job is stacking boxes, you have an order 4 hours worth of heavy boxes and 4 hours worth of light ones. In software one is tempted to think there are 2 ways of doing the job. First order 1 then 2 or first 2 then 1. Push this button when order 1 is done!

It might not be humanly possible to stack heavy boxes non stop for 4 hours but it is definitely a bad idea. Thanks to the new software it's going to take 6 hours and cut the "resting" time (time doing light boxes) in half.

Good questions! I'll answer in reverse order --

Typically RoFR laws do require tenants to seek financial support from a lender or developer. The tenants front some of the capital, get a loan for some of the capital, and offer some incentive for a developer. This is typically for people whose multi-unit apartment building is being sold, where there's the possibility for the tenants to band together to create a co-op.

These programs are also sometimes eligible for government assistance -- essentially helping subsidize communities into owning their own housing.

> What exactly is insured here?

Typically the lender is protected at the owner's expense. Rates can be quite high, and increase the cost of living, pricing people out of housing.

> Rent control

You disagree that rent control reduces the power of landlords? Do you think it has a positive effect or no effect for the power of landlords?
Why would they be less willing to rent? Wouldn’t 85% be better than nothing? If they want to leave the area, good. Maybe a local could buy a home instead of someone “investing” in property. More than 40% of renters in the area are rent burdened. Housing prices have more than doubled in some areas. Less than half of the houses are owner occupied. Part of the problem is that desirable parts of the city are having homes turned into airbnbs, NYC folks buying houses for prices locals can’t compete with, and the not so desirable parts are having rents jacked up. It’s happening all over Ulster County, not just Kingston. The mayor of one of the surrounding towns couldn’t afford rent in their town and has to couch surf. Having a median income of 30k and house price be over 300k is unsustainable.

It's easy to feel nostalgic for the old days, but what really was better back then?

Really, the only advantage you had back then is that you often had no other choices but to learn to program computers in order to use them. It's much easier to program computers today, and it's much easier to learn to program, but the only problem here is that you're faced with a hundred or a thousand different alternatives for how to learn to program, or how to solve your task in ways that don't involve learning to program.

I like showing off the Apple II to younger programmers. You turn it on and immediately you start writing code. This had the benefit of immediacy, but it was worse in almost every other conceivable way. Basic was horrible and didn't let you do structured programming. It was easy to lose your program. It was hard to make changes and iterate. Easier to start, but much harder to develop mastery.

Epstein from his JP Morgan email account. These communications show a close personal
relationship and “profound” friendship between the two men and even suggest that Staley may
have been involved in Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation."
Interesting, my state is not on that list.

But that 36 state list includes many exceptions. Provocation is an exception in the majority of those 36 states, and trespassing is almost universally an exception. Nebraska excludes harm cases when the dog is being playful etc.

A co-op ownership of a building typically is not seeking to profit from the tenants in the building. They may charge fees to cover the maintenance and upkeep of the building and sustain their administration. Some condos operate similarly -- everyone buying a condo, with minimal fees paid to the developer to cover the maintenance of the building, with the developer making the bulk of their income from the sale of the units.

Er... Aspartame is a NMDA receptor antagonist, but at a site where it actually increases NMDA activity. I get super panicky and jittery/feel like my nerves are physically overloaded with Aspartame. My mom would call her reactions "aspartame headaches"

Each sweetener is different and different for different people. Allulose is not metabolized by the body but is free for all those bacteria to eat! Yum! Much much more sugar for the bacteria. It does taste truly lovely though, that said. Stevia glycosides are not bad at all with the taste a bit to get used to. Sucralose is just sucrose IIRC with three chlorine atoms... substituted on it? I think? It's not taken up in your intestine but it does block the transporter in bacteria/yeast that does take it up. So, havoc on the gut flora! I'm pretty sure it kills the bacteria/yeast too. I think.

Acesulfate Potassium is okay but it activates your insulin receptors, so your blood sugar plummets. I can barely stay awake after a single diet cheerwine for that reason.

Glycine is a fun one that's expensive that no one uses. It's literally the opposite of aspartame, even binds to the same receptor at the same receptor site, just... Opposite! It's also like magnesium in which lots of people could use to have it/maybe are deficient in it...I think (don't quote me on that please! D:) I always wanted to try it dusted on a blueberry cake donut. :3

We don't talk about saccharine, but D-ribose (this one is actually caloric) is very expensive but tastes fantastic and is great for your mitochondria to boot! It's a DNA building block as well. I use it when going on ultra-long physical excursions. Blackstrap molasses is great for cutting with any of the above sweeteners for cheap caramelly roasted toasted robust flavor without many calories. Inulin, a digestible fiber is also sweet and worth a shot! (I don't think it's super cheap, but I don't think it's break the bank or no).

Oh, 70% sucralose solution is fun (and cheap!) too. It's 600x sweeter than sugar lol. It tastes almost soapy bitter it activates whatever receptors so strongly lol. I love it. Sometimes it leaks and crystalizes on the outside of the bottle. What a rush it is to have those. Oh, to see my life flash before my eyes like that again....

I use that as my emergency sweetener sparingly. I have a small bottle that's lasted me for years at this point.

Stevia from Trader Joe's is my go to. I add it to beans with molasses and some garlic infused oil and some spicy stuff and such. Yummmmmmm. Gonna have to have some of that soon!

So there you go. There's more of course (like some corn fiber of some kind IIRC), but those are a lot of the main ones. And erythritol. But I say use what's good for you. It's literally different for each person. They're drugs but boy do I like the sweet flavor, and Stevia is a good tradeoff for me that I've come to love so much.

Hope that was interesting, if you made it to this point, thanks for reading and so much love! :)))) <3 <3 <3 <3 :))))

> In the presentation, Stripe said it generated $14.3 billion in revenue as it processed $816 billion in payments volume last year. The company’s so-called transaction margin before losses — a measure of net revenue — rose to $3.17 billion, or 0.38% of total volume. That compares with 17 basis points for rival Adyen NV, according to the presentation.

Does anyone else feel these numbers aren't as high as expected? Sure $14B in annual revenue (and margins of ~$3b on that revenue) is nothing to scoff at. But $14B isn't even close to Amazon/Azure cloud big or even Amazon Ads big.

Perhaps Stripe's valuation assumes a steep uptick in this revenue in the years to come?

Agree 100%, I'm really surprised by how little so many people care about their camera plus audio setup. From extremely messy backgrounds to having a glaringly bright window right behind them, these are things that could be rectified very easily.

E.g. always a messy house, never any time to clean up? Move the desk half a metre out from the wall and flip the setup around. Now it will be clean 100% of the time as far as what the camera can see.
To be fair, a venture-backed company remaining private for 10 years wasn't terribly common and probably wouldn't factor highly in anyone's risk assessment. If someone asked "what happens to these options in 10 years if you don't go public or get acquired?" they'd likely be ridiculed for being difficult. And I don't think start-ups want that to become the new mentality or they'll get more push-back on comp structure.
That's just not true. Federal taxes are filed with the CRA for QC citizens.

I have had great fun making some simple games in GDevelop!

If you know a bit about programming and have an idea for a silly multimedia project, I highly recommend giving it a go.

The visual interface building tool makes it really easy to slap together a GUI or a game map, and the low-code programming interface makes adding simple logic (and sound effects!) pretty quick too.

It did take me a little while to wrap my head around the programming interface, though. There are many things that I like about it, now that I understand it, but I think there’s also some room for improvement.[0]

Working on my little experiments, I felt like I was often relying on some knowledge of other game programming tools to help me guess what functions to look for in GDevelop, and to build an intuition for how the system was working.

So I think GDevelop does a great job of making it easy to code something up quickly. But I don’t think that I would recommend it as a first step into programming, since I think that building up some familiarity with “how programming works” in a more conventional language will make stepping into GDevelop much easier.

If you’re interested interested in making simple games and want something one step more conventional, I highly recommend MakeCode Arcade. It’s a more limited tool than GDevelop—it’s just for simple arcade-style games—but it’s an absolute joy to use.

[0]: I love that GDevelop lets me browse through the API without leaving the app, for example… but somehow I still seem to spend a lot of time looking things up on the wiki. I would love for them to find a way to build even more of that documentation into the application itself!

The blogpost just says that they're trying to minimize surface area and not expose things like e.g. user-defined effects. That's normal for a MVP where we don't even know how such custom effects might interact with the rest of the language.

I would expect that std::string_view would still be significantly faster.

> I think many of these ideas are sound but IMO your hostility towards “landlords” is misplaced.

I see landlords like ticket scalpers -- they have the money up front to buy a product, and provide 'liquidity' and 'free markets' by selling that product at the market rate.

For some reason, we generally view ticket scalpers as negative, and landlords as "just what you do when you get wealthy enough".

And, to be clear, I have been a landlord. I know the challenges in maintaining a unit, finding tenants, chasing down rent, dealing with legal challenges, wondering if I would need to evict someone because they were destructive/loud/etc.

(Ultimately, I paid back all the rent I had collected that contributed to my principals on the unit, keeping only the money I used to pay for maintenance. My feelings about landlords come partially from being a landlord and realizing that I was profiting off of people only because I was rich enough to afford a house in the first place.)
