My girlfriend shares a 2 bed and pays 850/month for her share. If you want to live in the most attractive places, then sure, you will be bidding against people.

The point, though, was that lower prices are available. If you choose not to take advantage because it's not as convenient as you like, that's a valid choice (though if you opt for several hundred pounds difference a month to avoid calling a removals firm once every few years, I question that choice; been there, done that, it's not that much effort)

To be clear, housing prices in the UK are atrocious, even if it's possible to do better than the person above stated.

Personally I'd favour the government basically forcing prices down by guaranteeing to pour money into added construction until the market crashes. I'm saying that as a homeowner because for most people, me included, it'd be better if the prices come down so we can afford to trade up, and it'd be cheaper to provide for some limited bailouts for people left with mortgages under water, than to continue having this massive drag on the economy because it's now advantageous for developers to sit on land and wait for it to appreciate before building as an exit (e.g. one of the plots near my local station that is finally being built on now was standing empty for over a decade before the owner of the land started doing anything).

The website isn't FOSS, ironically.

Also it recently started allowing models that aren't CC or open source, at the same time as adding blue checkmark brand accounts.
Starting your own thing or being an owner is not for everyone and doesn’t always live up to expectations. There is more stress, you are the person of last resort for fixing problems and need to be able to lead a team well if the company does well. There is nothing wrong with forgoing that, taking a salary and living your life when being an owner or going to a start up will bleed into your personal life.

Company with financial interest in stoking hysteria for their products continues to stoke hysteria.

These tools are amazing, but the hype around them is even more incredible than the technology.
Our current many outbox patterns are implemented by producers using two phase commit. Rather than writing code for that, I want move the outbox to another component, but we don't want to use stream, we want to use a queue. Essentially, listen to WAL, any relevant data gets written to a queue for down stream consumers. Kafka/Kinesis is not in our stack right now, so I want to use standalone Debezium server on a AWS Fargate/ECS service and write to FIFO-SNS.
Sofia is a dirty, badly maintained city. Quality of life is low, air is horrible and there's dirt/mud almost everywhere. It's pretty bad overall. But it's not dull, at all. Not bad for young folks because almost nobody cares about the things in their 20s.

Plovdiv is 1000x better than Sofia in any conceivable way. Older, cleaner, cultured. Built on top of an ancient Roman city. It's by far the best big place in Bulgaria
Is this why we were having energy shortages during the winter time and there was a rush to get the nuclear reactors back online in France ? I don't consider that having, "it figured out". If you want to discuss prices.. my place of employment is paying millions more euro this year than last. The increase in energy cost is also leading to increase in water costs.. I could go on, but you get the point.

>I grew up in a village in the mountains where the closest neighbors were 500m away. At age 14, just before moving, I counted half a dozen attractive females of the same age

You are completely moving the goalposts. Read my comment again please. I was talking about the dating market of twenty and thirty year olds, not that of school teenagers. How's the dating scene of single twenty to thirty year olds in your village?

All that demographic has moved to big cities to go to universities and become skilled professionals. What's left in villages is older people and children.
And what definition of AGI are _you_ using?

The G in AGI stands for General. Can AlphaGo do anything other than play Go really well? If not, it is by no means general.
I don't get it? I was excited about XUL back in 2007 (call me silly) and there was a whole resource site dedicated to it, complete with documentation and examples. XUL Plannet (https://web.archive.org/web/20070607174323/http://www.xulpla...) if I recall it correctly.

Back then, I wrote a pretty slick client for some RESTful API (I think it was a photo browser for flickr).
You left out the specific reason as to why they re-opened coal plants at the end of 2022:

"Germany is deploying about 3 gigawatts of coal-fired generation to ensure there are enough electricity supplies to make it through the winter amid curtailed natural gas supplies from Russia."

This was done out of necessity to ensure Germany did not run out of natural gas during the winter months as the gas imports from Russia have more or less dried up. I am not German nor am I up to date on their measures to transitioning their grid to renewable energy, but if anything this war is accelerating the transition for many countries in Europe. Even if this means they have to temporarily re-open fossile fuel power plants.

This could possibly have been avoided had the German government not shut its nuclear power plants down in the previous years, but that's another discussion.

Double quotes hasn't worked in a long time. It used to be the case that if you search "foo" "bar" it would only return documents that had the words "foo" and "bar".

I will frequently search for z foo bar z, get documents that have synonyms of foo and bar (and the synonyms will be highlighted in the snippet), then I will search "foo" "bar" and get the same documents except now it doesn't highlight the synonyms in the snippet. Maybe I am in some awful cohort where this feature is intentionally broken to see if it reduces engagement.
Modulating a LED at a high depth will certainly have the required visual effect, as the frequency response curves found in literature are practically flat from DC to tens of MHz. For obvious reason, most people are interested only in data communication applicantions. No one bothers to try doesn't mean we can't resonably expect it will work.

As we all know, modern LEDs (or even semiconductor lasers), the achievable brightness is very high.

Besides, I would be very surprised that such a modern high speed camera system doesn't come with triggering inputs that allows trivial digital generation of timestamps.
For reference, "cr" is an abbreviation for the Indian word crore, which is 10^7, so this is 669 million people.
Curious, but what kind of companies were these?

I have a similar experience but haven’t worked for any big tech or name brand companies. The vast majority were in the health tech space with a smattering doing things that would be considered ethically sound (ie. Solar energy marketplace).

I have had a couple nightmare supervisors who were obvious sociopaths, and have several who were incompetent, but for the most part only worked for folks with high EQ.

Do I have to use something that is ugly when I pay a lot for it? Nope, they can keep it. I detest the control freaks who deliberately gimp certain parts of the notebook, just, because, they can or just simply doesn't have the eye for it, because they are so cheapskates to hire an industrial designer and/or their standards are subpar.

For example who thought that for EU keyboards the left shift should be short, gimped? And put the slash right next to it. WHY? Why crowd the keyboard keys together? Why fuck up the arrangement of the arrow keys? Why reorder or remove basic keys? Leave the keyboard the fuck alone, just do not try to innovate there. Leave the keyboard fonts alone too, just copy what macbook or thinkpad uses. Or hire someone who worked with fonts to recommend something similar.

Sometimes they also fuck up how your palm rests on the keyboard, by not giving enough space. Or make the touchpad off center. Add idiotic things to the touchpad, like a calculator (asus), or a scroll area. These are all factors that are letdowns.

Why put a 70% or so srgb shitty screen into a 1000+ USD notebook?

And the list goes on.

So if it's ugly (see above) I'm not buying it, so easy.
Like how cheap is very cheap? If you go 100 days and each night is 10 euros that's 1000 euros in additional costs. For some people it's a non starter.
It was very easy actually before people decided electricity is nifty.

It's quite expensive to do now if you don't want a reasonably large shift in lifestyle in doing so.
> The biggest difference is that you must take two consecutive weeks at least once a year.

I had this in the UK when I worked in finance. As I recall the two-week rule was commonly written into employment contracts in banking. There was some FCA guidance around this, possibly in the wake of the Jérôme Kerviel scandal (I am not sure, it's been a while).

The idea was to make it a harder for a single rogue trader to perpetrate fraud as they would have to collude with someone to look after their books while they were out for two weeks.
Because of demand and supply. But there are many more "shitty" sectors, that are absolutely vital and underpaid. That showed quite nice at the pandemic, where vital workers got excemptions from the lockdown. Those vital workers were mostly all the low paying jobs. I think that got some people thinking, at least for some minutes about the absurdity of the status quo.

So I am all for paying them all more and for example the executive of the german train (who had his company have a shitty year in the reds, but still effectivly doubling his salary) less.

Suggestions on how to actually change it?

Most approaches I know where people go to the top to change things kind of fail, - once they are at the top, they rather enjoy the benefits there. Whether they are socialists or free market radicals.

I think the point is that the prototypical coder, according to the narrative, is a left-leaning lawful good person that wants to change the world for the better. Think early google with “don’t be evil”. The fact that one of the most high profile VCs are now courting Saudi Arabian money is basically the final nail in the coffin of this narrative and that the tech industry is just as immoral, dirty and corrupt as any other. Just in case all the scandals from the past decade hadn’t quite got the point across.
I'd also include suffering.
If you are the sort of person positioned to take advantage of those benefits, many of which are aimed at people with young families: some kids, but not so many that you want a larger living area. This serves to narrow the field of prospective applicants to those of a paticular social and cultural class. A single person whith hobbies outside the narrow field of acceptability will not apply. Anyone who would rather go on a backpacking trips than endulge in spa days would rather have the money than the spa benefit. In the end, such specific benifit packages tend to promote a very paticular london lifestyle.
This response references Thea Flowers' response: https://blog.thea.codes/a-reply-to-josef-prusa/

Prusa exists in what I hope is a time of transition from capital/ownership mindsets into a new type of open market. Wanting to straddle the fence in the name of profits shows once again Prusa only partially understand the movement they benefit from and namecheck frequently.

Comparing Prusa to Marc Jacobs to emphasize the brand over the product is genius.
Taiwan was only "unified" (if you can call the China of that era "unified") with the mainland for about 4 years since 1895 and even that ended close to 75 years ago.

> it can be read as the slow-motion failure to finish the prosecution of a very "internal" political process.

This is just propaganda to lay support for irredentism. The Chinese civil war ended long ago and this process is certainly not "internal" by any means. That is just made up to make the PRC's current push to annex the ROC more palatable. It's easier to sell it that way than explaining to the mainland populace the truth that its simply an unnecessary war of conquest.
What Makes Leadership Development Programs Succeed?
Yes and no, the public crowdsourcing is only a part.

The biggest influence are trusted security groups, where security teams of influential websites who trust each other can push or remove websites from these lists without any vetting from anyone.

This is also from there that you can download and share lists of unhashed passwords with e-mails (you know this warning "This password has likely been compromised", they need to source it from somewhere).

If the owner of a website complains, he is never going to win the appeal against a member of the special group.

So it's a very (useful and important) political game once your website becomes large.

This is also where you can informally directly communicate with agencies like FBI.
You shouldnt need to make noticable compromises to get performance in any reasonably efficient language/tooling
I really don't think so, no.

The X13s is only a bit slimmer than my cheap-ass work Dell, and it has one.

My £35 Raspberry Pi 4 (I got in early, OK) has not one but two mini-HDMI ports. So does my 2nd hand RP 400. It's why I own a mini-HDMI to HDFMI adaptor.

This stuff is not hard, it's not expensive, and it's not difficult. It's standard in cheap laptops.

If you only have 2 USB ports at all, using one for power and one for screen means that's it. You're out. No wired keyboard or mouse or network for you.

You can't pass a screen or charging through a generic USB 2 hub, the sort of thing most of us have lying around immediately to hand.

4 USB-C ports, and I might say OK to this: one for power, one for screen, one for network, and one with a hub with the legacy kit plugged in.

If it had plenty of ports, then OK, but it doesn't, it has two, and you can't use them both for non-USB type jobs like power or display and still use anything else.

"How did you learn about this and why do you care?"

Because my german colleagues were ranting about this whenever there was a break/issue in "Teams meetings". (which happens often)

Why do I care ? Because people are apparently not looking at reality when they make grandiose claims about renewables and electricity generation in Europe. Replace by renewables by all means - but at-least be honest about the data.

There were also, among others:

- Celtx, a media prepoduction software

Many of these either vanished or transitioned to something else (I think both Komodo and Celtx did).

Surely, that also leaves the market open for an alternative to SpaceX for putting people into space? But yes, reusable launch vehicles should be a high priority.

Um. OK.

I take your point, but the thing you were bitching about was based on you misreading something that you actually copied and pasted into your reply and still did not read correctly!

I put real effort, and a lot of time, into these stories, and then someone starts complaining at me because they misread it... and angrily defends their misreading?

I get that it's not the laptop for you, and that's fine and I take no exception to that at all. I didn't design the thing.

Sorry, `unconventional` is also offensive.

So's male and female apparently.

It's Enhanced Safe Browsing that you are talking about.

Sure, but is that slowing down installations or just setting us up for a correction some time in the future when people install solar anyway? It seems to me that the market for rooftop solar is in any case supply constrained, not demand constrained.

And I can't imagine this being very popular with homeowners or the politicians that represent them, regardless of their political color. So, there might be some backlash against this as well at some point.
- it's frankly impossible to pick investment winners - so a more sensible approach might be to provide smaller investments to more people. Governments basically do this by providing schooling and health care to children till age of 18 or so. I mean the RoI on teaching Elon to read was fairly high. I wonder if his primary school teacher could get a lien on future earnings?

- if MMT is right, then the problem is not limited capital but limited investment opportunities- but if we invest in everyone - what does that mean or look like?

As climate risk increases demand for renewables, we may actually see a decline in price for fossil fuels, at least for a time, resulting in prolonged bimodal consumption.

I think we've been in this artificially low fossil fuel price environment since the beginning though: the externalities aren't priced in.
Its already DST in Germany and these coal plants are still open. Let's actually wait and see if they are truly shut down this year. My guess is no - and my german colleagues believe they will still be open for the next several years - providing a third to half of Germany's electricity.
