Hence, a x100 price hike on .com would ensure that low-cost domain parking is squeezed out.

It’s not linear. A domain at $2000, which costs the squatter $14 a year, would certainly go down by 75% if it costed the squatter $200 a year. Because the prospect of keeping it for 10 years goes from $140 to $2000, so the seller would make more benefit selling at $500 today than $2500 in 10 years.

A squatter who’s squatting 1000 domain would go from $14k a year to $1m.

FiascoLang – new wonderful programming language
FiascoLang – an experimental language that can't even compile to machine code • loves embracing memory leaks • frequently takes coffee breaks (GC parties all the time) • snail-paced • thinks wasting memory is trendy • produces executables so big they've got their own gravitational pull • type confusion galore • dances on the edge of memory safety • worships NULLs • believes in chaos over optional-based control flow • what are tests even? • anti-modularity champion • versioning? More like guessing! • adores its shared mutable state • embraces radical complexity • has a brick wall for interop with C.

A pattern of outcomes being similar isn't indicative of much when a large number of suits were filed with a shotgun approach. The only way you can sift through this from first principles is to read the legal briefs that were actually filed, and see for yourself if there is something substantive there.

I read and analyzed a sampling of two cases, and saw the same pattern where there were a whole bunch of straightforward banal claims plus a whole bunch of grandiose conclusions, without any logical linking of the two. The grandiose claims were widely quoted in the press though, despite being completely unsubstantiated. That was enough to satisfy my own opinion.
The main thing that made Proton possible was the advent of DXVK.

Yes, every program will either halt or not halt. Some programs are guaranteed to halt (`int main() {return 0;}`) some are guaranteed to not halt (root comment). Some are undecidable (at least with infinite memory, with finite memory they are still undecidable in practice, because computing whether they halt or not would take until well after the heat death of the universe)

On a separate note, one idea I had was to have rock paper scissors as a quickstart. You could Use["rock paper scissors"] to use that as a model; there could perhaps be a registry of curated, fun models that people can play with out of the box (aka ones good for classroom use).
Yes and no.

It feels there is always a give and take with controlled systems involving humans. Too much control and the humans rebel. Too little and they humans stagnate.

And you ask about innovation. There's also financial involved in this situation.

In so far as innovation creatively identifying ways to make money, of course it is. This is not the destination, it is merely a waypoint on the path of commerce.

In so far as our relationship to sellers, who are shaping the market, no. I appreciate sellers expressing intention of how their products could be used to derive the most value. Though I also want the freedom to use products in a way that I think might benefit my unaddressed interests. A really simple answer but yeah that's it.
> the article is ultimately complaining about [when a manager delegates tasks]

I am sorry, but I re-read the article and still cannot understand why you believe this. The author gives three major examples:

1. Customer EFT: "sitting on hold with the company that manages my health flexible spending account"

2. Workplace EFT: "they see a need to be filled or have been asked or tasked with taking on more"

3. Household EFT: "Having a husband creates an extra seven hours a week of housework for women."

You seem to be interpreting the article as primarily about #2, Workplace EFT, and furthermore about one facet of workplace political dynamics, namely command hierarchy.

I'll allow that command hierarchies are nominally the principal aspect of a corporation, but one of the author's goals, I believe, is to shed light on the dynamics surrounding and running obliquely to that aspect. She takes pains to emphasize the gendered and allegedly random way "those tasks so often fall to the same group of people". The tasks about which the author complains are explicitly not those within one's job title and/or line of duty but, rather, the surreptitious assignment of service to which the employee did not explicitly consent when taking the job but now "feel they cannot turn down".

Long story short, I am a little blown away with your assertion that "the article is ultimately complaining about" something which is at the most tangential to the article's subject and possibly even--as in my interpretation--deliberately not being addressed.
> It doesn't even matter that much ... whether they inherited their position or were elected to it.

A country ruled by a hereditary leader with virtually unlimited power could hardly be called a normal democracy.

It does matter how much power the elected officials have.

It's a matter of vastly different costs, in that case: the solution to the modified problem costs much more to solve than the originally stated problem. The trick is avoiding such a large gap, hopefully with a breakeven that comes in the foreseeable future, if not immediately.

For example: how do I repair water damage on my ceiling in a way that's quick enough to do it after every storm? You mean how do I repair my roof so I only have to repair the ceiling one more time? It's more upfront cost to do both now, but the breakeven is only a small handful of storms away, which is palatable enough to get serious consideration. If the breakeven was (for some reason, hypothetically) 20 years away, actually figuring out how to make quick work of repeated ceiling repairs might be more desirable.
I don't think those things have ever been widely considered AI. It may have widely thought that those things would require AI, though.

The first point is really common in programming. If you ask a "stupid" question, you don't get an answer like "here's how to do it, but by the way, you could also do this instead" but just flame you with "you shouldn't have been doing X".

Good example is FTP. Obviously, for anything requiring any kind of security, use SFTP. But I kid you not, almost all FTP-related questions on the internet have answers like "are you still using that INSECURE protocol in 2020??" without being constructive at all. Even if it's just some random hobby project. Or a legacy system they can't change. Doesn't matter, it's more important to score points from virtue-signaling than actually helping the poster.

> Language complexity is a hotly debated topic in linguistics, with many different opposing views.

They bring this up, don’t address it, then proceed to the results anyways.

The idea of grammatical or language complexity is very dubious. They seem to define it by number of distinctions. But, how is that inherently more complex?

Wouldn’t we expect Russian children to start speaking later than, say, Chinese children? But we don’t actually see that, all children seem to learn their respective mother tongues at about the same rate.

Now, if you’re an adult monolingual English speaker trying to learn Russian, then I’m sure the crazy conjugation and declination systems would appear complex. But it’s probably simply different rather than complex.

5 year old Russians seem to think that case declinations are the easiest thing in the world!

This article really resonated with me, I was a Windows fan for 25 years and it captures why I can't use it anymore - it increasingly feels like Microsoft owns the computer and you're just along for the ride.

One of my colleagues maintains a Windows box at home, and tells me he hates opening the thing because whenever he does the OS gives him "chores" to do - you _must_ update this bit, you need to listen to this offer, etc. Like, you're the computer and I'm the human! I give you the work, not the other way around.

Anyways, the sum of my rant is I finally switched to PopOS. It's been surprisingly smooth, especially with Proton making Linux gaming so easy. If anybody is thinking of doing it, now's the time to try it out.
No. They’re contractually allowed to raise prices by 7% for a 4 year period.

2020 = 7.85
2021 = 7.85 x 1.07 = 8.39
2022 = 8.39 x 1.07 = 8.97
2023 = 8.97 x 1.07 = 9.59
2024 = 9.59 x 1.07 = 10.26
I'd suggest losing that "next" sound. It sounds like a relay flipping, a deeply disturbing sound for some of us :)

It’s a funny story, but… yeah, the early 90s was a special time in Silicon Valley. It was THE center of the computing world. And you really did just randomly bump into amazing people at Fry’s or restaurants or bars or whatever. I don’t think younger people understand how much around them today, when it comes to technology, can trace its roots to 90s South Bay and Peninsula.

I'm confused by what's being measured in some of these graphs. Based on this one: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_pr... it looks like LA is the most dense city it the US? And based on this one: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_pr... it seems that LA and NYC are equally dense, with SF more dense than both?

I don't quite follow that—I'm not an urban planner, but I thought LA was famous for being very spread out, at least compared to NYC.

> Especially since the linked article says it is >50% per unit which supports my point.

I don't think it's productive so I'm not going to continue responding to you but I encourage anyone looking at this thread to actually read the article as this person is just blatantly mis-stating it repeatedly.

It says that institutional investors are 14.8% of properties and ~36% of units or less. Neither of these are '>50% per unit', nor are they '77.4% of rental units', nor are they a 'vast majority of rental units', all of which have been stated at various times by this commentator.
currently FF has comparable devtools, but back in the day, FF was lacking a lot of features, like websocket inspection which was implemented around 2019 [1] where in chrome you could do that since 2011 via net-internals (i'm unable to find the date when it was implemented in devtools). so I think because of thing like these, the popularity of chrome devtools was just getting bigger and bigger.

When working on demo effects, I found it extremely important to have lightning fast edit-compile-run cycles. Before interactive demo editing tools became a thing, we had to modify code and recompile it to see anything. With Turbo Pascal (or TASM for that matter) you'd have results in under a second. Every now and then your demo would crash, but having set up AUTOEXEC.BAT to start Turbo Pascal, you'd be back in your editor in a few seconds.

I just don't understand how people can put up with waiting for compilers, Docker image downloads, and "continuous integration" builds that take upwards of whole minutes. Granted, it takes some effort to get things fast, but it is perfectly possible on modern hardware to have lightning fast compilation, and runtime replacement of modules. For some reason most people just don't care, and it sometimes makes one feel terribly lonely.

Also, inline assembly was really nice!

I'm trying to learn some JS in my spare time, if only to show in interviews that I can do it, but I understand why one wouldn't want to. I'm just doing bare JS for now, but even with a framework, there is so much to manage in the DOM to make consistent interfaces, and CSS3 is so much more complex (but also convenient, in some ways!), putting together good interfaces is legitimately hard. Responsiveness is the big hurdle in creating a well-behaving app, from my perspective.

I think I could've learned a GUI toolkit and had something working in the time it's taken me to pick up building two JS apps. The barrier to entry may be low, but that's only because the feedback loop for webdev is super tight. Great for prototyping, experimentation, and getting more newbies in the field. But it's crazy that anything productive gets built on JS and DOM.

The backend, with databases and storage and caches, service management and sysadmin, that's where the fun is!

Or as my Thai lady would say "tomorrow I go to shop".

As I got a better understanding of why she spoke that way, because there weren't those structures in her native language, it made me do a lot of hard thinking about English and left me with a lot of unanswered questions, but tenses are useful. "l will be going to the barbers while I'm in town" – that's compact and informative and I'd like to know how a Thai speaker would render that.

Incidentally redundancy serves a useful purpose of error detection and rectification, just as much in human speech as in RAM.
As a wild guess, this same construct might not always work with linear types—if we had to use x exactly once, we wouldn't always be able to write `return (x, y)`. I haven't really used them, but linear types are supported in Haskell, and you can generalize the Monad class to be able to handle them. This would conceptually correspond to x being some sort of limited resource that we can't copy arbitrarily, which is more than a purely mathematical curio.

In mathematics more broadly, the fact that you don't always have the equivalent of the `strength` function is useful because it lets us work with different kinds of products than just tuples. This can even be useful for practical work: we might want to model something like hardware or quantum computations which behave differently than "normal" programs. Requiring all monads in that context to support `strength` would really restrict the sort of things you could useful model as monads.
AFAIK quantum computers currently can only handle a dozen qubits or less. So we can't really extrapolate about timeframes yet, there's not enough data points to draw a curve. It could happen this year, it could never happen.
The annealing QCs have a lot of “qbits”, but they are far from the only people working on the problem.

Off the top of my head:
Rigetti
Google
IBM
Quantinuum
Atom computing

As far as I’m aware, all are working on quantum computers with full entanglement. Definitely none are working on quantum annealing computers.

The slowness you see with NVME isn't in boot anymore - instead it's in BIOS. As memory times get faster, it takes longer for the motherboard to train to hit those XMP targets, especially with memory still super far away from the CPU. For me, rebooting has ~20 seconds of staring at a blank screen with the Motherboard doing memory training/initialization on 6000 MHz ram.
In light of Terraform/HashiCorp's license change recently, how "open source" should we consider companies like this?

Ive always held the belief that story points were specific to a team, and a result of the work that specific team does and/or services, products and customers they support, which was a why comparing cross teams is a huge no no!

But story points themselves are actually guesses, and are never a true reflection of the work undertaken post mortem - and rarely if ever get reevaluated with 'correct values' mainly because it's really difficult to do that - it's another guess really.

I think any attempts to measure the accuracy of guesses on imaginary relative units, specific to a team, with deliberately obfuscated and difficult to reconcile units is futility by definition.

Instead companies have started to see the light of measurement using standard units of time and tracking the start to finish time including the states of tickets - Flow metrics.

Which is all fine, however you still have the original problem - unless you strictly compare very similar tasks perhaps done by similar engineers in terms of tenure, skill level and maturity, and maybe other factors, you still can't directly compare tasks across teams.

There still needs to be consideration of the make up of a team to get an understanding of skill level and experience.

Ive personally witnessed teams with graduates in them and people with 20 years experience completing very similar tasks and the difference is astonishing.
