Well a lot of people who want homes are expecting to be getting short-term rental revenue that would cover their mortgage payments at least. If they fail to do that then they might not want the home.

I'm hoping the recent trend towards more active, powerful unions that we're starting to see now will reverse the wage trends.

The problem is that the very low interest rates we've had over the last decade are just not sustainable long term. At the very least, the Fed needs a quick, easy way to stimulate the economy, and having a minuscule prime rate leaves them without the biggest tool in their toolbox.
I developed shoulder pain because my chair armrest was too high so was propping my shoulder up ever so slightly.
It took me a while to figure out, and my pain went away quite quickly once I’d understood the problem.

More recently, someone took my chair and moved the head rest by a few centimeters. This pushed my head forward a bit - bam ! Neck pain.

You might want to check your chair/posture ( or it might be unrelated).
One place I worked had these US government customers, that were so "hush-hush" we weren't allowed to know what their names actually were (obviously some sort of intelligence agency or military project–although we had other customers of that nature where we were allowed to know their names). They were just "US Government A", "US Government B", etc. I personally never had anything to do with any of them, but a colleague in Support got a ticket from one of them once. He wanted to call the customer, but couldn't find their phone number in the support system. So he updated the support ticket to ask for a contact number, and was told "we aren't allowed to tell you our phone number; you tell us your desk phone number and we'll call you". (Support engineers weren't supposed to give customers their desk phone numbers, but my colleague understood that this kind of super-special customer was an unwritten exception to that rule.) Literally a secret government telephone number?

Example Arch AUR but similar for Nix, Guix, Gentoo, others:

On first install:
- read AUR file
- audit build & patching framework
- audit patches

On upgrade:
- review patch changes
- treat upstream changes like you would otherwise

On upgrade with AUR file change:
- review AUR file changes
- review build & patching framework changes

If you've bothered to set up your own repos and build pipeline integrating your patches already (and you can get a lot of that for free), the additional overhead isn't as large as it may sound.

Both West London and (surprisingly) East London had many unoccupied houses a few years back. Even in areas around Hackney road / Bethnal Green, which I would guess are not even really investment properties but more like long-term wealth assets.

Agreed on the overheated market. My argument was that these properties are completely off the market and the owners won't panic-sell them

*request, there was only a single request.

Also, you had already applied a whole lot of restrictions to my account before the "request", without any warnings or explanations.

So, who cares? I'm not playing on a level playing field. You are definitely politically biased, in the sense that you don't apply your rules consistently. And you don't seem to care about that.

Also, you guys definitely use dishonest moderation techniques, which you don't like to call "shadow-banning". But the issue isn't what we should call it, it's the dishonesty.

And if the ban was really because you thought I am not contributing to the community (and just using it as tool for "ideological battle), then why one of my submissions is on the front-page at this very moment? [1]

I honestly find functional programming paradigms to be simpler; coming from someone without any sort of comp sci background. Data goes in, UI comes out, seems pretty reasonable to me.

But I will say, I do get being weirded out by magic. Hooks in React specifically, where they're being memoized so you get persistent values out of them, just feels to hacky to me still. Data and the old data from the last time this method was called goes in... and the UI is the combination of that? Class components were at least pretty straight forward, if a little verbose.
Everybody should care. Producing a laptop has a high environmental and human cost. A school throwing away hundreds of computer has an impact on me, you and every other living being on this planet.

A disposable laptop is an absurd concept. The idea itself should feel appalling.
There's a difference between "this will eventually stop being usable" and "we enforced a hard cutoff for software updates, including security patches, which artificially forced a device to stop being usable". I'm typing this on a decade-old laptop that's perfectly good even though its manufacturer has long-since given up on it, precisely because it just keeps getting software updates regardless (AIUI, even Windows would still support it, so a normal user would be fine too).

>>I doubt most laptop users have their laptop more than 3 years.

More and more companies are moving to 4 and 5 year replacement cycle. The average today for my company is 4.5 years between replacement laptops for the average employee.

For desktops it is 7-8 with some going to 10 years for replacements.

Then they are wiped and given to employee's who continue to use them for many more years. I have given my parents one of these both are still using it, one of which was ironically reimaged from Win7 to CloudReady (now called ChomeOS Flex) and it is still going strong today more than 10 years after its manufacture date.

>half of the appeal to me is that they are effectively disposable and don't need to be fawned over.

Maybe there's a hidden cost to pay for making e-waste disposable hardware which is felt at the environmental level.

I'm pretty disturbed at how this waste is not considered in the rich west, as it only looks at the monetary cost of the device and not at the fact that those devices most likely end up in landfills much sooner than should be accepted.

Just becasue we can financially accept such a thing, doesn't mean we should, for the sake of the environment.
I'd rather they just fix whatever problem or missing feature caused me to want logic in the config file.

Ideally, why do I even need a nontrivial config file at all? I want more stuff that just works, and has standard interfaces to find and connect to all it's other pieces.

Even manually executing SQL to make a database is too much.

I don't want make files at all. They're only there because C/C++ doesn't handle it for you. Python doesn't need them. Node.js doesn't need them. They have build config stuff, but it's nowhere near as in depth as makefiles.

Apache is insane with all the different configurations, and how it's separate from PHP and MySQL and it all has to be configured to work together.

Lots of tools just work. They have few options, and all the important configuration options are set at runtime automatically based on input data, auto discovery, and things like that. Install and run. That's it.

If I need a full programming language to configure, then whatever I'm doing probably isn't configuration, it's more like plugin writing.
The talk got downgraded due to one high-up person's serious issues with the talk, that person's concerns weren't made public, the identity of the person who had the concerns wasn't made public. Those are the facts. (Source: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-rustconf-keynote-fiasco... ctrl+f concerns)

I admit that I assumed that those concerns were technical (i.e "issues with the direction of the compile time proposal"). I don't have evidence for that, because the concerns weren't made public.

Anyway, you're the one who's choosing to view their actions as sabotage of his work, I don't think I would characterize it like that.

EDIT: I want to add, it's possible that this person who had great concerns was dtolnay and that the concerns were simply what he outlines in this post (essentially just that it wasn't ready to be featured in a keynote; source: https://gist.github.com/dtolnay/7f5da4bf057b7c6d0d00c6bed306... ctrl+f "I expressed forceful skepticism"). I hope that's not the case, since that's a really weak reason to retract a keynote invitation weeks after it was given, and seems like it could be easily solved with some disclaimers... but we can't know, since, again, nobody has publicly disclosed what the concerns were which caused the talk to be downgraded.
The thing to keep in mind is that many of these young startups, which likely includes the one from the OP, are built on the cloud/AWS. With AWS, there is no infra to manage like in companies of yesteryear; it's all abstracted away to AWS. In fact, at my current job, there doesn't even exist a "sysadmin" job role.

Additionally, I would argue that, especially if you are a senior+ engineer, not having anything to show after a 2 week sprint is a red flag and sets a poor example for junior engineers. Either you aren't meeting expectations for your role, or something is deeply wrong with how your company operates that prevents you from doing any real useful work day-to-day.

>Protected classes and diversity quotas are nearly unrelated.

That's not true. Here is what EEOC says it includes:

race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history).[1]

So it's not clear why caste discrimination doesn't already fall under religious discrimination and most of these groups are associated with diversity quotas. That's not a clearly defined concept but we all generally associate diversity quotas with race, gender identity, and ethnicity.

I generally think there is a big overlap between diversity quotas and protected classes. It's a clear logical link.

If caste were added to diversity quotas (or even protected status) I just think it would create perplexing situations where a totally foreign concept of caste is used to justify things in American law like protecting low caste voter rights despite no history of that ever being a problem or suing non-Hindus for caste discrimination under disparate impact legal concepts despite no animus. Or universities in the US tracking caste in DEI statements and admissions essays which they consider for adversity scores. Would that be fair to Americans? Is there even proof that low caste Indians are generally facing adversity in the US or is it only in specific situations with other Indians? What if they actually earn more than the average US income but get added to diversity quotas?

"Plus they're now moving Python, .NET and other specific extensions towards closed source."

They are also adding Python support to Excel, which means that the layman now has a intuitive way to use a Python function to plot graphs inside their favorite workbook.

In other words, now you no longer need those extra machine learning Python devs, when Bob the accountant can plot fancy graphs for you.

I've replied to your arguments, which are bogus, in detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37384133.

Far from not playing on a level field, we cut you way more slack than you had any reason to expect, given how badly you've been breaking both the letter and spirit of HN's rules.

The restrictions you're taking about, such as rate-limiting, apply to accounts regardless of what ideological flavor they favor, so none of that is relevant. The way to not get restricted is to use the site as intended. That's not bias, that's just trying to have a particular kind of site. This tedious mentality of turning everything one doesn't like into "bias against me" is one of the many tedious things that make ideological battle off topic for HN in the first place.

p.s. I'm sorry for saying "requests" if there was only formal request, but I've replied to you so much that I don't believe you didn't get the message.

Yeah, the US is an outlier. In most countries the government doesn't back mortgage loans so we have to refinance after a few years. Basically every mortgage in countries like Canada and the UK is what the US would consider an "ARM".
That's why they decode it with qpdf and re-encode it again afterwards, so qpdf takes care of that. qpdf reconstructs the original PDF structure, and I think it even tries to keep the object numbers the same, but the offsets are recalculated completely.

This is in turn dramatically impacts the price of the home.

I bought a home last year during peak sales season in a great neighborhood in a major tourist town at a very reasonable price that had been on the market nearly a week before I made my offer. How? Because my HOA explicitly forbids me from using the home as a STVR, which kept most interested buyers away. The desire to capitalize the house in the future is a major factor in rising home prices. I can do a long term rental, but no Airbnb.

Want to dramatically reduce upward pressure? Start passing laws that severely punish STVR activity and prices will come down.
My comment was definitely flippant but in large metro areas airbnb at the margin leading to a rapid price increase is not the problem. It’s supply. No supporting evidence here because it’s pretty broadly available for many real estate markets.
It would be more proper to compare baresip to PJSIP/pjsua. I'm using both and both are great, with multiple unique features. The strong point for pjsip would be in my opinion pjmedia conference bridge (easy to use and powerful mixing, volume control, audio format conversion), this basically has no equivalent in baresip. I also do like PJSIP layered project code organization more. On the other hand baresip is slightly ligher in terms of memory usage (more suitable for e.g. STM32F4). And while PJSIP licensing is not that expensive (considering the size and maturity of the project), baresip would be free most of the times even in commercial projects thanks to BSD license.
Total, it’s a combination of federal, state, and city income tax plus social security etc.
I think the main difference is that, at least in the US, a lot of people that bought multiple homes in the last few years are fairly heavily leveraged. It's not "very affluent class owning the properties", but people that took out a another mortgage because they thought real estate was a sure bet.

The real issue in the US is going to come down to how many people can continue to afford multiple homes which is where rising interest rates and inflation both come into play. Anyone that bought a second home using an ARM may be forced into paying much more than they thought, and rising interest rates are going to put additional pressure on people with investment properties as they may need more liquidity sooner than originally expected to cover routine expenses.
It's a big red flag.

I saw this in a job posting recently:

No mercenaries! We want people who have been waiting their whole lives to work on something like this.

They don't explain what a mercenary is but from the context it seems they mean people who want to exchange their work for money.

It's obviously important for people to enjoy their jobs and be engaged, but anything that reads to me like they want to skimp out on proper pay and working conditions because of how passionate the employees are just smacks of immaturity.
Another approach to neural-based data representation / encoding / decoding is Implicit Neural Representations (INRs). For INRs, you overfit a neural network, typically a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)[1], to a single data point. For instance, in the case of a single image (the data point), the inputs would be the xy pixel coordinates—usually scaled from [0, n_pixels]^2 to either [0, 1]^2 or [-1, 1]^2—and the outputs would be the RGB values of each pixel. Once trained on pixels from this singular image, the INR model essentially becomes a representation of that data point. The image can then be re-rendered or reconstructed by inputting all the pixel coordinates and receiving the corresponding RGB values. This approach even allows for sampling at intermediate coordinates or a subset of coordinates for partial, progressive, or super-resolution decoding.

This technique is generally effective as long as you can specify a reasonable coordinate system for your data, whether it's audio (n_samples, n_channels), 3D models (x, y, z)(x, y, z, θ, φ) [2], geospatial data (lat, lon, altitude), and so on. Interestingly, it can also be applied even if there isn't a well-defined or non-Euclidean coordinate system for your data [3].

Additionally, you can meta-learn an initial set of weights through meta-learning techniques tailored for a particular distribution of data points [4]. This enables you to quickly fit an INR model to a new data point that comes from the same distribution, such as microscope images of cells, MRI scans, or scenes for self-driving cars.

Most pertinent to the post, INRs can be compressed and quantized to achieve comparable or even superior performance to traditional data compression techniques, at various quality levels for different modalities [5]. By no means is it competitive for long standing approaches like for image compression but it works well nonetheless. This is an area that we have explored extensively in my lab, enabling end-to-end encoding, processing, and decoding of INRs in hardware for a variety of applications.

The most interesting topic to me is the fact that you can edit the weights of the INR to edit the underlying data [6][7], or use the weights of the INR to compute tasks on the data without ever having to decode it. For example, I can perform image classification on the weights of the INR model rather than on the actual images. This classification model is a hypernetwork that takes the INR parameters as inputs instead of the RGB image. These hypernetworks can also be designed in a way that preserves the invariance and equivariance properties of MLP structures, which is a very cool idea to me [8].
