I haven't seen anyone get upset that the Y feature didn't exist when the question was posted.

Los Angeles was rough for public restrooms I remember when I was there!

I do remember if you were on the west side the Santa Monica boardwalk and the beaches all having public restrooms which was a lifesaver numerous times for me!

>In theory remote work could help with this problem, but honestly it's really only available to workers who work in offices.

And I daresay that even most of the professional class who could live anywhere in the country they wanted to probably don't want to live in or near some small midwestern city or many of the other places where housing is relatively cheap. (Some of that is preserving future employment options but even if you take that off the table, there's still almost certainly a common preference for at least the general vicinity of large mostly coastal cities--and tons of excuses why this location or that location is a non-starter.)
> The latest drug epidemic was caused by the pharma industry hooking people on oxy, and then the government clamping down on legal supply

This isn’t directed at you just a general statement. I find it strange that the narrative now is that the drug epidemic in “rural America” is being blamed on the government “loose borders”, “illegal immigrants”, etc.

But when it was happening in the “inner city” it was all about “poor morals”, “the nation getting away from God”, “out of wedlock pregnancies” and “absentee fathers”.

Hoàng Xuân Sính's Thesis: Categorifying Group Theory
A person can give up their right to privacy to any officer of the law, and to a corporation just as easily.

US corporations now demand you give up all rights that the law permits you to give up, and they do so by shrinkwrap licenses that are “take it or leave it”, while denying the ability to deactivate a reasonable and small subset of functionality if the buyer disagrees.

This is typically where regulation steps in, and does so quite successfully in the EU but not the US, to say that consumers may not contractually give up their right to privacy without express, plainly-sought consent — so, not just shrinkwrap licenses — and that refusal or revocation of that consent shall not deny someone access to functionality that can be reasonably delivered without it. The US has its work cut out for it to catch up here.
This is pretty much it, at least in the US. Lots of places in the Midwest where the median house is less than 2.5x the median income. But if you want to live in San Jose, that ratio is 10x. Even in Portland it's over 5x.

A remote tech worker can buy quite a lot of house in the midwest if they keep all or most of the salary they were getting while living in a coastal city.

It's lower, yes, but in Toronto and Vancouver it has definitely improved in the last decade.

Amazon opened big offices in both cities (bias: I was one of the early Amazon people in Toronto) and quickly grew by outbidding other employers on good developers. Then other companies opened offices to do the same to Amazon. Now there's a pretty big dev economy.
In the northeast US at least, highways have 2 lanes, are narrow, congested, have short on-ramps and little/no merging area. So it is common practice to travel mostly in the left lane and leave the right lane free for people entering the highway, common etiquette to travel at 20-30mph over the speed limit and move over for faster vehicles.

Those things certainly aren't helping, but they represent only a small number of total housing units. The main cause is lack of new units. We fall further behind every year.

For money, of course.
Yes, but even if you have a 10,000 room hotel, and everyone books in the same second, a low-end RDBMS server will yawn at the spike.
Oh no, the absolute horror. Homeowners will end up having actually spent money to have somewhere to live instead of making more money just by virtue of owning a home.

Plenty of people are already living that reality, it's called renting.
How do you read that graph? I see the dip around 2010, but what about that graph implies under-building? (genuine question, it's not obvious to me)

Your description is pretty on point. It was eerily casual in relation to how much turmoil it creates for me. One day it was gone, another day, it was back. I have no idea why anything happened.

I also think that social-media reach has helped my case.

It feels very dystopian that this is de-facto way to approach these issues with mega-corps.

Yes, lack of new constructions is the main problem. For example, housing vacancy rates are near historic lows [1]. The existence of Airbnb and other short-term rentals should increase the demand for housing, which in turn should lead to new construction. The fact this is not happening is the problem,, and we should look into why.

> and systems to properly compensate women for going into labour are developed.

I don't see the correlation in developed countries.

I'd say by the time most women consider children (30s) they are past their biological prime (>30 used to be considered geriatric pregnancy).

Our entire social values would need to change to reverse that trend - career, education, values.

Even if they invented a way to bypass pregnancy completely the commitment of raising multiple children is incompatible with modern values.
"Housing as a vehicle for building wealth and housing becoming unaffordable for the younger generation are two sides of the same coin."

LOL. I could see how you could read it as such. I just think it's really sad that people think that they've seen all that can ever be seen because of one thing. Yes, Hale-Bopp was an impressive sight to behold. Will comet Nishimura come close, absolutely not. However, that doesn't mean that it won't hold it's own unique experience for different reasons.

I guess rather than feeling sad, I should be accepting that the one experience is all that person will ever need and be fulfilled for the rest of their days???

Dumb clickbait. The Earth is 32% oxygen by mass.

On a positive note, all terrestrial water (the fraction not below ground) will eventually blow off into space because the hydrogen disassociates at the exosphere interface, approximately a billion years from now. At that point, the Earth will be a lifeless desert above ground. It's possible some life could live below ground as thermophiles for another 1-2 billion years until the Sun EZ-bakes the planet.
Where? The article left the impression with me that without Wordpress the numbers would be less impressive.
How can any government ever tackle this issue when many millions of people have already invested huge chunks of their future earnings into the scheme? Explicitly saying "go pound sand" isn't going to work politically, but at the same time the government is implicitly saying that to people who don't own a house.
This isn't about having a good sound like a professional trumpet though.

This is about building a 44100 frame per second fluid dynamics engine that just so happens to kinda sorta sound like a Trumpet.

Then adding a particle system to the simulation and painting the particles in Blender to provide a nice visualization of the simulator.

---------

A partial differential equation done cell-by-cell like this is called finite element analysis. This is basically the brute force methodology top scientists are doing at National Labs from my understanding.

Just ya know, scaled down and hobby sized to this crude tube simulator (that arguably kinda sorta sounds like a Trumpet)
In addition to the point made by xienze that if its government policy causing increased need for housing it makes sense for them to also help with that issue, I'd add a more general point:

Many people (including me) believe it should be government's responsibility to make sure its citizens can have a reasonable standard of living, including housing, water, food, etc.

Whether that's by directly providing it (building and managing social housing, state-run energy provider, etc.) or by managing policies that enable private companies to offer stuff to a satisfactory level, both can work and it's debatable (and the debate varies depending on the specific areas).

But if private companies aren't doing as much as is needed then it should be the government's job to fix that, regardless of whether the fix is providing services directly to the people who need it or providing support to private companies so that they can do so.
Contracting != consulting.
It hasn't been dismantled. In fact, 20% of the private rental market is supported by the government.

All that happened is that councils stopped building homes and sold some of the ones they had to current occupants (and councils actually also have control over planning permission, so they did this and blocked anyone from building new houses at all).

There is other stuff going on (it is likely impossible for the UK to build enough housing given demographic trends atm) but this is all caused by not building enough houses (the reason why investors are buying houses in Canada is because there aren't enough of them, it is all the same problem).
As part of housing reform, we can also make more locations worth living in. There are plenty of small towns that could use the help (e.g. the Rust Belt)
The US was still riding high off the post-war boom.

In the 40's - 60's, the US was the manufacturing powerhouse while Europe and Asia were rebuilding. The US had the baby boom and the enormous natural resources to lean into that growth.

After some decades, we grew to a point that labor became increasingly expensive. Workers wanted more, consumers wanted more for less. So we outsourced the lower-end manufacturing jobs to lower cost of living areas, and ultimately shipped them overseas to developing economies.

The US now does mostly high-cost, value-add. We're sitting at the top of the production food chain and labor costs a tremendous amount. Fewer people, as a percentage of the population, are able to fill these jobs due to the high skill required.

20-30 years ago the end of the post-war tailwinds. We've been experiencing the US operate in a global economy where our lower class doesn't have access to what were once well-paying jobs. We moved those over to cheap overseas labor, and we benefitted greatly from the lower cost of goods.

Our highly compensated knowledge workers are pushing prices up at the high end, and there's less middle ground.

The middle and upper classes will be fine. It's those at the bottom that are suffering. Instead of providing means to lift our poor up and into the middle class, we're lifting laborers in India, Vietnam, and Mexico out of poverty and into their own growing middle classes. (Which I think is absolutely great for them. I just wish we could also help our own lower class.)
You must be kidding me, I was a graduate student in one of those "public Ivy" with such a low salary at 50% contract, with a spouse that holds a VISA not allowed to work, and for the duration of our VISA she never worked illegally to make money (which I heard is the norm that we didn't conform to). So I have a 25% of household income with a base that's low to begin with. Yet we can save up.

Hint: we are Hong Kong people. Don't assume people don't save up because they don't earn enough. I'm not saying the system isn't problematic, but I hope I prove your statement wrong.

That's correct. But the price an investor can charge to renters scales with the opportunity cost of buying, so (house prices x interest rates).

Or equivalently, the price an investor will pay for a house scales with (rent - interest payments). If interest rates go up and housing prices don't fall, then market rents must be rising.
So your solution to people currently getting screwed is to screw more people? And you wonder why these policies don’t make it through.
Not only is it an optimistic communications process, but the charging of your credit card isn’t even atomic. I once showed up to a hotel hours after my card had been charged successfully.

The backend credit card of the reservation company declined the charge, so the hotel room had been booked, but the hotel hadn’t been paid.

The hotel manager sat on hold for 10 minutes, and the website fixed it.

The reason why many use frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, RoR or Django is often because they have non trivial needs. If I need to do something very simple like a small blog I might just throw something together on my own.

I personally have a large prject with a ton of code that was written in the last 16 years from when I was very inexperienced to now. After a while you realize that patterns are important, and you start building more and more features to make development and maintenance simpler and faster.

Here is a list of things I created over some years for that project:
- Authentication system that supported different types of login.
- Pretty routes.
- Simple dependency injection container.
- Emailing.
- A templating system.
- A scheduling system.
- A worker pool.
- Reusable forms.
- Simple DB migrations in code.
- Caching system.
- A file storage system.
- Data seeding.
- Testing.
- Websockets.
- Asset bundling and versioning.
- Localization.
- Payment integrations.
- +++

Sure, I could do it the JS way and find different packages instead of doing it myself, but I don't want to rely on a bunch of projects as that quickly can become maintenance hell.

After a while you realize that you're basically reinventing the wheel. Is Laravel and Somfony complex? Yes. Does it sometimes seem like magic? Yes. Is it hard to use, modify or figure out how it works? No.

You might not know why 99 % would want to use them, but I'd agrue that most probably should when the project achives some complexity. That way you can reap the benefits of the work and experience of thousands of contributors behind these projects.

I am one of those "I want to know what happens in the background" people too, and it's not that hard to figure out how Laravel works if you want to know. But most developers are not interested in how the framework they are using really works. The questions you have about what the auth middleware is, how it works, and what the Illuminate namespace is for(Laravel) is easy to figure out by checking the docs.

Laravel is definetly an opinionated framework, but personally I think most of the options are good ones.
But why are there discrepancies in the floating point arithmetic? They have errors when approximating the reals, but floating point operations are all well-defined: even if 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3, it's still always true that 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.1 + 0.2. I figure the issue must be something related to concurrency in a fleet of GPUs during inference, but even then it's not clear to me where the nondeterminism would creep in. Maybe different experts simultaneously work on an inference and the first to respond wins? Switching to models with different quantization depending on load?
I work in privacy, too - mine.
No doubt but it calls into question some of the reasoning in the article about PHP itself being so great. Like, people write a lot of VBA because of Office but I would not conclude that that’s because VBA is such an excellent environment to work in and more because Office is a great product and VBA is how you interact with it.

Replacing Pin with Rc is what they refer to as "Arc shit up". Pin avoids the need for a heap allocation like Rc/Arc entirely.
But then you'd have to live in the midwest. There's a reason the costal cities are popular -- culture, weather, people with similar political views, exposure to other races and cultures.

Especially if you didn't grow up there, the weather is killer.

And there is still plenty of space in the popular places, if people were allowed to build there.

But the people who are already there do everything in their power to prevent it.
>> If it continues for another decade, we can presume no young person today will ever be able to afford a home.

I mean, the US isn’t as bad as Canada (as the article states), and this is already the case here. Most young people who manage to buy a house either get substantial help from parents, or buy in the middle of nowhere because they are able to capitalize on having a WFH job. Everyone else is stuck renting, at least until their parents die (if they have homeowner parents that is).

I thought you're original comment was saying something to the effect of "VCs funded HHVM, and this feels similar."

Though the government has lots of influence on this.

For example in most South East Asian countries it's impossible to buy land as a foreigner (basically a house).

Just this one rule alone would help the situation in Canada as there is alot of foreign ownership with as I understand it no restrictions.

Regulations favoring Canadian citizens wouldn't violate the spirit of the private market, and would certainly help Canada.
