The vast, vast majority of single family landlords do NOT treat it as a business and don't even properly account for everything; they're being held up by appreciation and if that stops the whole market around that will collapse.

Once you actually treat it like a business, you realize "wow this is why real estate companies don't manage single family homes as rentals" - and if you hire one to manage your property and do the math you're realize you're losing money before appreciation unless you have a small or no loan; and if that's the case you should just sell and buy into an REIT anyway.

MWatcher: OSS project that watches Medium RSS and share on Twitter (no hosting)
Love that XKCD!
If you're a programming writer, this could be handy to you. It supports Medium RSS, but I'm happy to get PRs for other RSS providers like dev.to or your own custom blog (as long as it follows a standard). I'm also happy to get PRs for publishing on other platforms besides Twitter and Linkedin.

You merely fork on Github and then set the secret vars. It should start running in less than 1 hour. No need to pay expensive hosting. Github Actions has 3000 minutes free which should be enough with a free account.

I did this instead of having to pay A$50AUD/month for Zapier and went to the extra effort to make it reusable to other programmers. I actually had the automation all done o Zapier before this. I hope we can collectively spread the world the Open Source way instead of each of us creating our own scripts.

Any feedback will be much appreciated. I hope you like it!

Here's an example run from today's last post: https://github.com/FagnerMartinsBrack/medium-watcher/actions... (expand "Run Notifications")
Maybe instead of reply people should just submit and comply?
As mentioned in another comment I am using LLM, fine tuned text to image and a model tagging components. I haven't been able to get GPT4 API access as of yet but have applied and plan on shifting the LLM to GPT4 once I receive the access.
I had a colleague who once pointed out to their landlord that something was not according to the law. The next day they come home from work and all their furniture was removed and the locks replaced.

Sure, you can take them to court, but most likely they'll let you know how they feel about that by sending some thugs.

Landlords can be the lowest scum of the earth. Many cooperations are great though, we never had any issues with them, they'd send someone quickly when asking for repairs, and were often very reasonable about things, etc.
I don't think of every PhD barista as upper class at all. Holding a doctorate is at the upper end of academic attainment. Someone without even an undergraduate degree but who inherited wealth is not going to see that barista as their social peer.
So, like constantly carrying such waste from all over the world to a single location, one that could be 8-10.000 miles away from some source locations?

I wish I made something advanced, but anyways. This thing helped me a lot, so I'll share it. I hacked a Behringer X32 Rack mixer board to have physical controls. The idea is it is controllable by OSC, and there is unofficial documentation. So, I made a patch in Pure Data that converted MIDI from Launch Control XL to OSC to control the board. Pure Data was running in headless mode on Raspberry PI and was the only thing running. It was close to a consumer-level product; it loaded up in seconds on power failure and just worked.
> The post is about removing some unnecessary wording from technical documentation that doesn't add anything, and as an aside can sometimes imply complex tasks are simpler than they are to the detriment of the app/library/service it's documenting.

I'm not sure that's a fair summary of the article. I just reread it: at no point does it suggest removing superfluous words in general, it's specifically about "words such as easy, painless, straightforward, trivial, simple and just", because those in particular are "jolting", "upsetting and annoying" and "infuriating". What you frame as an "aside" is in fact the first and last paragraph of the article.

> I have no idea why you'd think this implies some personal failing or that it is advice for "babies"

You're missing a level of indirection here, the readers of the documentation are the “babies”, not the writers who take this article's advice. This is advice for people who write for people who act offended when reading the word "simply" in technical documentation, and I'm questioning the dynamics of that.

It's obviously fair to criticize the word choice on my part, there were less incisive ways to phrase that. But then, it's the article that claims that the usage of the word "just" in the sentence (the article's example) "[then] we will just edit the users_controller.rb" is "condescending", and I think that's "simply" (sic) insane.
> So you have all the heat pumps going on full blast on the coldest days, all together. It's a huge spike in energy demand. As long as the grid can deliver it fine, but when it doesn't the potential is catastrophic.

Repalce heat pumps with gas furnaces and you have an equally true sentence, if "the grid" is the gas grid.

Gas usage also spikes on those cold days. You know what people do to prevent this being an issue? Storage. Nothing you couldn't also do with electric
power.
What will be the expected wait time? Looking to try it as fast as possible.
So, we're posting commits from almost 2 years ago as if they just happened today? Half of the comments in here can't tell it's an ancient commit; some people say celebrating saying "Glad they're finally doing this." What?

Bit ridiculous to see all the pointless spam/graffiti in the comments on that commit now.
It seems to me that the semantics are different: you return the security deposit ~at handover time, while last month's rent is counted as rent for the last month of the stay, so the tenant "gets it back" (in the form of not having to pay rent they'd otherwise have to pay) a month before they move out. Do I misunderstand something?
This seems very inconsistent with my experience. I tend to find most people are the same, it really just is a matter of how much money you have to get what you want and what impresses your peer group.
Offtopic but i wish devs would offer light theme too.
There is conspicuous consumption, but it is not in the form of cars.

Who cares if a car is a limo or a Bentley? The comfort and quality and safety is relatively all the same, whether it is a $50k car or a $500k car. You are going to sit in it looking at your phone all the same.

But the higher bar to achieve is real estate, time, and professional network. Where you live, where and how you spend your time, and who you work with are all easy ways to determine socioeconomic status, so there is no reason to waste money on cars/jewelry/etc if you get no extra utility from them.
And neither typesetting activity results in reusable LinkedData; because it's still not possible to publish Linked Data (or indeed data and its schema) with LaTeX, or Word, or PDF.

ScholarlyArticles' most relevant purpose is to link to the schema:Dataset that the presented analysis is predicated upon.

ScholarlyArticle authors should consider the value of data reuse and (linked data) schema in choosing a typesetting and publishing format.

Is there a better way to publish Linked Data with existing tools like LaTeX, PDF, or Word? Which support CSVW? Which support RDF/RDFa/JSON-LD?

How could authors express experimental study controls with URIs; with qualified typed edges to the data (and a cryptographic signature from an IRB and the ScholarlyArticle's authors).
It's amazing, every other professional we hire we'd be absolutely flabbergasted if someone suggested we use someone who did it once a month, on the side, and wasn't trained or certified or anything.

But that's exactly what most landlords are, unless you're renting an apartment from a massive company.
I have the same issue with slack and any facebook app frequently -- especially if you type, delete, type quickly. I think there must be some damn crdt within the draft edits feature that causes the final state not to match exactly what would be expected from the input sequence.

It's very annoying because it feels like I'm being gaslit by the device -- the errant results can pop in after some delay .... "was I misreading what I saw had been typed earlier on screen??"
I thought the depsosit is for building damage, not for rent?
For this, you're in a bit of a bind, and I too have run into this on my son's school issued chromebook. Blocking Instagram and Tiktok seem to be an easy enough solution at the firewall level (or DNS, using something like this: https://dnsadblock.com/block-social-media/). Youtube, however, is the tough one, as half the time the actual class material requires the use of Youtube embedded videos in the first place.

I'd raise the issue among the PTA -- it seems like something that if enough people get involved on you might get a workable solution figured out. Hope the other stuff helps though.
Back in 2012 I was on a startup weekend team that built the opposite. It was a site to help landlords vet tenants. It's remarkable the amount of damage a bad tenant can do.

We never actually launched it due to the possibility of it being misused in housing discrimination and our liability for hosting information that could contribute to that.

Truly there are a few bad apples in most groups that just make any progress difficult.
What about $2000 without going to court? They will most likely pay immediately to avoid court [landlords don't like being in court with a 'failure to repay security deposit' type case].
That's wonderful to hear, thank you!
up to a certain point
Because I see so much "conflict metals" discussion when lithium is discussed, I would like to contribute that less than 3% of global lithium production takes place on small artisanal mines, in which place human rights abuse may occur.

Over 85% of lithium is produced by just 2 international corporations with large scale mines complying with multiple international regulation requirements.

If that sidechannel attack that has not been seen in the wild leads to me having to throw my CPU/computer into the bin because it is unsopported on a up to date OS for that reason, there isn't.

How should I, as a consumer, have voted against this with my wallet, before it happened?

We can argue whether this is the fault of the hardware manufacturer or the software company that sells the OS, but I am 100% sure that no consumer should take the blame for "not doing their research".
You skipped the whole bit of my comment where I talked about the percentages that go into industrial uses vs transportation I guess? Only 27% of the oil extracted goes into the entire industrial use of oil.
I would not step foot nor let my kids step foot in a limo type car ever since I found out they are completely unregulated (in the US).

It's exactly what they have access to, though the landlord will usually be looking at credit to determine the tenant has a job and can pay, the background check is more useful to see if they have any tenant/landlord civil suits in their history.
X10 would be a generous assessment of when FSD will fully SD.
I'd say it's the last one, with a "subcommand based position dependant syntax" like git or zfs. It's a matter of taste but personally I prefer it to the traditional one. As long as the behavior is consistent remembering the order of the arguments is often easier than remembering the exact keywords.
A natural way to cause positive reviews to appear is for landlords to point out the site to tenants. Sadly, this can very easily morph into basically requiring tenants to leave positive reviews (i.e. disadvantaging them until a positive review appears).
I couldn't find anything saying what the settlement might be, where did you find that?

I just now this morning had a notification in my actual Facebook notifications, leading to an actual facebook.com modal I had never seen anything like, which then linked to facebookuserprivacysettlement.com

So it would seem to be the legit one.
1) At least were I came from, to my understanding, girls were as much pressured by their peers as boys, if not more.

2) I didn't read the paper, but if it is "physically forced to have sex", that is as unambiguous as it gets. Thanks for clarifying!

Wow that’s not been my experience at all - with regard to anything science or math related, I’ve found YouTube a massive help over any other medium.

This is how I feel about most books! I do hours of reading for something that could have been a few bullet points or a short video. Often finding the right book for your level is a challenge in itself
All of what you say could be true - I just find it hard to believe given IRL finance bros are constantly trading and profiting off of futures/commodities trading without a single worry of the underlying commodity.
No, the claim that bible organizers cherry-picked which to include comes from my having studied this quite a bit.

That’s what “style” is. A great musician develops and cultivates a new style and then mixes and mashes it along to make new songs within that style. Each song is an expression of their unique style.

It’s why a lot of artists can’t continue to make great music. They’ve exhausted their unique style and are unable to progress it further or cultivate a coherent successor style.
Yep! Had a problem tenant that was like pulling teeth to get rent out of them, turned out the problem was the roommate. Once the roommate moved out getting full rent arrived like clockwork.

On the flip side, as we were installing new laundry units in the condos, I recounted to my wife about how in college we had to pay monthly for the convenience to rent laundry machines from the 80s.

Yes, being strong is beneficial by itself all else being equal. If you had to choose: it is better to be strong even if you are fat than being weak and thin.

"better" meaning survival here according to the research.
I'm one of those people who weirdly likes resistive electric cooktops - but yeah, I 100% agree with you.

I'd rather people install heat pumps in new construction, and I'd agree that you should discourage use of natural gas for heating, I think there are ways to do that with market incentives, not by bans.
It's arguably less dangerous than lead paint. If don't let lead paint deteriorate and clean regularly then the health risk is minimal.

There's no comparable mitigation option for gas stoves. Installing a fune hood involves cutting a hole in the wall, no chance your landlord will ok they in a cheap place.
I could tell you you're missing the obvious answer, but that doesn't help you understand the thing you're missing. I could tell you the YouTube tutorial that starts from scratch has a very simple and obvious reason why it starts there, that a lot of other people get that you don't. But that doesn't help you either. And I could tell you that infantilizing someone who's having a hard time understanding something is the opposite of adult, but that doesn't tell you why.
The article claims that a super intelligent AI won't make careless mistakes. Where's the evidence to suggest that? At present if an AI hallucinates that's dismissed as a failure of the AI's programming, rather than a mistake on its part. The only difference between the two is where the responsibility is placed. At the AI itself or its developers.

The price should be disconnected from the actual, physical use. If we have a surplus of a substance now but there is reason to believe that we'll need a lot more of it later then the sensible thing to do is to hoard most of it until it is needed and to start producing more of it. Speculators help do that by driving up the price which is a signal to both producers and consumers.

The market thought that China was going to need a lot of lithium for EVs, so the price went up which incentivized higher production and lower use. That's a good thing because it made it more likely that China would meet their demand. Now the market has better information that China is going to need less lithium than previously thought so the price drops which makes it viable for previously marginal users.
I am trying my best to get the beta out as early as possible. I just need to get hold of some GPU to train the larger model to make it more generalised and usable for a public release. I am either going to apply for some grants or do some consultancy project or maybe even raise funding.

It does appear to be at least trying to go up the value chain, and - perhaps weirdly - it also seems to be getting a look-in with supercomputers.

For the "up the value chain" bit, things like the very-early-stage PineTab-V:

Whether any of that will get traction is clearly a "who knows" thing, but the signs seem to be pointing in the positive direction.
Yes, but making it illegal would mean well meaning groups also can't bend the ear of politicians when they need to. The heavily moneyed interests don't really need professional lobbyists so much when they can offer high six figure consulting salaries to politicians once they leave office, have former company people in govt positions, can communicate through campaign funding etc. Bigger broader problem. Meanwhile a right to repair advocate very much could benefit from hiring a guy that knows the office hours of the legislator and who the best staffers would be to float an idea with.
It wasn't an example: it was copied and pasted from the Rails guides at the time.
It's not so much that "academia is systematically biased against men for political and ideological reasons" as much as men themselves (as a generalized group, exceptions exist) are resistant to admitting that any of these issues are a significant problem, and asking for or seeking help for them if they were.

It's the old standard of not wanting to appear weak or needy. This is a real thing with men (as a generalized group, exceptions exist) and also plays a powerful role is shaping how society treats men's versus women's problems in this context.
You can use POSIX functions in -std=c17 or similar. For instance:

#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
char *x = strdup("hello world");
printf("%s\n", x);
free(x);
return 0;
}
It will be almost entirely protected by section 230.

And the opposite exists and is MORE regulated in the credit bureaus and similar.

If the town is small enough there are informal whisper-networks.

And of course you can google the name of the landlord or the tenant if you want. Many bad ones of either leak tons of information on social media.
Because making things public or protected hinders future maintainers by default.
It's been three years and prices have yet to come down. Interest rates have soared, and who knows how that's going to make new stuff appear. It's quite probable prices will never return to 2018 levels, and somehow this is the result of a temporary increase in people buying stuff. The system is fucked.

It's simple to understand, really. How come you don't get this trivial thing?
Noticing that this is a real issue with your service, finding who to email, writing an email and waiting for the fix to be made/deployed can be a non-trivial amount of work that you seem to expect all of your users to be willing to donate.
I have never had problems renting from individuals. It is when _everything_ is handled by some legal entity that it all goes down hill. As long as the actual owner of the house is a human (not a company), and I can talk to them, I have no issues. Maybe I am just a disarming conversationalist, or maybe I just got lucky.
Anecdotal, but in my cheap apartment (like $300/mo) there is an induction stove. This is not in New York, of course, but still it couldn’t have been that expensive to install.
Banning gas for heating has a reasonable climate change argument. In Vancouver heating systems in new buildings will have to be zero emission soon. That makes some sense at least. Banning it for cooking seems to be another case of focusing on things that don’t move the needle. Meanwhile coal power plants continue to operate. There are less than 2500 major coal power plants worldwide. Why don’t we band together, mass produce 2500 nuclear plants that are at least as large, and make an actual difference. Yeah there’s lots of details there about fuel, construction and engineering, proliferation, etc. But that is all solvable with current technology. No leap of faith required, just the will, the money, and execution.

Yet nobody seems to talk about real solutions and we’re content to focus on stupidly useless things instead. I find it frustrating. Are we really in a crises? If yes, then fucking act like it and let’s see some ambitious solutions.

In the movies and books you see something threaten the survival of the human race and the whole world comes together and engineers something impossibly amazing to save the world. I think in reality we’d argue about plastic straws, or who pays for it, or gas stoves until the apocalypse kills the species too dumb to save itself.
