- Language Choice (JS vs Python): Puppeteer in JS and Playwright in Python showed near-identical performance on an AWS c5.large instance. This negated the need to test Puppeteer and Playwright in the same language for this comparison.

- Playwright Scrolling: To emulate a user experience, all three tools employed infinite scrolling, which was necessary since Wallapop doesn't have pagination, you have to scroll to get results.

- Explicit Timeouts: Used for greater stability, especially when contending with network inconsistencies. Initially, I used API response events for triggering scrolls, but this approach was less reliable.

- Evaluate vs. Locators & Click: My initial tests indicated evaluate was marginally faster than locators and click.

I appreciate the scrutiny and I might include a JS vs Python comparison in a future test.

Yes, I'm from the US. Despite many of the comments here stating the contrary, I've been working in large tech companies for 30 years, and almost every termination has been an immediate walk out, severance or not. At one of the companies which I won't name, they didn't even let people go to their desks to get their personal items.
I think I have made it pretty clear already, but here it is again:

the Go code has MORE functionality (flag parsing) with LESS code. yes its not as fast, and yes the executable is larger, but for many, thats a good tradeoff for the extra standard library features, and the reduced LOC/code complexity. sadly as of yet, I haven't seen any cogent technical arguments against my points thus far.
> How come you construe more housing as being a government responsibility?

Well, official government policy is creating immense housing demand and adversely affecting citizens. If you want population growth via infinity immigration, you as the government need to do something about creating additional housing, simple as that.
-1 for abusing the term "Ponzi scheme" but otherwise I'm with you. Ponzi implies this was some elaborate conspiracy with a puppeteer at the top when it reality it's an emergent property of 50 years of misaligned incentives playing out in similar ways across multiple nations in similar ways.

The postwar years saw a huge boom in housing construction which created a few decades of housing availability that may just never exist again nor should it. Housing as a vehicle for building wealth and housing becoming unaffordable for the younger generation are two sides of the same coin.
> Slashing funding ≠ defunding.

I actually think "defunding" is the perfect way to describe slashing funding. We should start defunding/slashing now because the budgets are huge. It may asymptotically approach zero, but we need to reverse the trend.

"Defund the police" correctly highlights the actual issue, which is why people get so upset about it. The "people who'd otherwise support a more reasonable approach" do not and have never supported a more reasonable approach. They like the police, but can't come out and say it directly so instead they deflect to "hey! I can't support defunding the police because I don't like the slogan".

> That's a logical fallacy.

No it's not? It gives him credibility. You can not lecture someone about the car culture in an area they've lived in. He has literally lived there and in his case, as I understood it, even grown up there. It seems like you are suggesting he only knows amsterdam and does not get that chicago is different.

> It should never be about either of these. Instead, provide public transportation people want to use. Carrot, never stick.

This really ignores the effects of car traffic on the communities. Reducing traffic is a valid goal and sometimes the really only goal. It might be because of and unacceptable level of noise, or pollution or something else like an increase in safety for people on foot. Then the current amount of traffic is just not acceptable, you might not care that much if they end up not taking the trip, switching to public transit or driving somewhere else because your only goal was the reduction of car traffic in a specific area. A good example is barcelonas superblock concept, where you minimise through-traffic through specific blocks to enable more walkable, bikeable and livable neighbourhoods for the inhabitants of these urban neighbourhoods. Within reasonable bounds, neighbourhoods should have the ability to limit excessive car traffic in the area they are living in.
Honestly I think that owner occupied homes should count as investment homes too. There is scant difference between the economic interests of a landlord and a homeowner.

Which is what lets homeowners buy a second home so much more easily than younger people. The asset price inflation of homes in Canada has been remarkable at concentrating the productive labor of working Canadians into the idle hands of homeowners.
Toronto is full of single family homes, right in the heart of the city. This should not have happened.

I think that people can still have a shared reality as long as they understand that there is a disagreement. For example, Google could have done what many map makers do and explicitly indicate where borders are disputed.

It seems like you are getting hung up on the idea that "real" means that something can be proven using physical laws. For most people in most circumstances, that's not a particularly useful way of defining real. Usually, "real" is defined as something like "the facts on the ground that impact our lives".

Take for example, Taiwan. The facts that people mean when they talk about Taiwan's borders being real are something like: Taiwan's status is in dispute between China and most of the rest of the world. In order to maintain diplomatic relations and prevent war, most of the world has adopted a policy of officially ignoring the dispute while unofficially supporting Taiwan's independence. In terms of day to day governance, Taiwan is independent from China.
For example, the reality of the Taiwanese border is that there is a dispute between China and most of the rest
Saved you a click:

"Luckily, the amount of oxygen already stored in the atmosphere is very large and 90% of all living biomass on Earth are oxygen-producing plant matter, whereas most of our oxygen comes from deforestation-proof oceans. Our oxygen reserves are so large, in fact, that if photosynthesis suddenly stopped and all 7 billion people were stuck on our planet with no other life forms and no fire, it would take about 50 million years to breathe up all the oxygen our atmosphere has stored."
The assertion that the charge of an electron is more real than the border between the US and Canada, for instance, is pretty compelling. What is the former assertion? I would suggest its most reasonable interpretation is that there exist a set of rituals which, when performed, regardless of who, where, or when throughout the observable universe and the vast majority of time, will always produce the same results and that these rituals furthermore imply a compelling ontology which is consistent, with maniacal precision, with a large number of non-ritualized phenomena throughout time and space. That is to say, less poetically, that an electron is a particular realization of the essential character of the universe, or, as physicist like to put it: particles are unitary representations of the Poincaré group.

A border is, in comparison, next to nothing. Transient in time and nearly meaningless in space. Surely of consequence to human beings but only via other human beings. Indeed, the very fact that armed men are willing to kill for the transgression of such a pitiful thing is a brutal absurdity which does little to recommend us as a species.

No link, but I do recall a CVE talking about a buffer overflow vulnerability that could be traced back to a bounds check being removed by the compiler because the only way to go out of bounds was to overflow a signed integer.

France. Crit'air is gearing up in highly polluted major cities subject to LEZ, with accelerated calendars to comply with emissions regulations.

Mine is ranked tier 2 (EURO V petrol) and will be forbidden to drive starting January 2025.

The only ones allowed will be tier 1 (EURO VI petrol) and tier 0 (EV and PHEV).

There's no calendar yet for tier 1, but I'm sure as hell not going to buy a tier 1 car and find myself in the same spot of having a perfectly maintained and efficient car with a lot of mileage remaining that I can't resell or have to scrap in 3-5 years when (PH)EVs will be the only ones allowed.
> We as consumers and citizens need to stop assuming our governments and corporations will just do the right thing and not tread those ethically grey lines.

We—as in most people on this forum—can do much more than that. We can actually refuse to work for these companies, and to build such features. We can implore our colleagues to do the same, and inform our family and friends of these features, and suggest alternatives.

Yet many of us don't think twice about working for an adtech company, because of the prestige, compensation, or some other personal benefit.
You don't really even need a device to get started. The first driver I ever wrote consisted of 128 bytes of memory that you could write to and read back from. After I got that working, I realized I could change the 128 to 1.44M, implement a couple ioctls and have a reasonable RAM disk substitute for a floppy drive (this was SCO OpenServer back in the 1990s, and it didn't have a loop back device.)

It's a double-edged sword. If RE values in the US "normalize" to income-ratio equivalents in other countries by rising and never falling again, the US is going to see a drain of wealth and talent to those other places - UK, Latin America, etc that are now on even competitive ground in terms of owned housing
And of course, the idea that there is "one housing market" in Canada, and presumably the US, is very much part of the problem.
Future Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov was a cavalry man in the Tsarist Army during WW1 (he got injured somewhere in Eastern Transylvania while riding his horse at some point) and in the inter-war period he served in a cavalry unit in Izyum (or close to it), a city known today because of its vicinity to the Ukrainian - Russian front. He had a love of horses throughout his career, which probably explains this famous victory parade photo. [1]

Of course, at some point during the WW2 Eastern Campaign horse-traction became very important, especially for the Germans (hard to do logistics beyond the Don river when there’s no railway nearby).

I have a feeling that at some point in the future (when the oil will have run out, for example) we’ll get back to horse-assisted warfare.

There's plenty of demand for housing. There's no reason we can't build more to meet that need, other than regulation.

I've both the Moonlander which uses QMK and Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro which uses ZMK. The Advantage 360 Pro occasionally has Bluetooth connection problem that drive me crazy, which often requires unpairing and re-pairing. (I've contacted support and they point out a firmware for you to reset stuck light and another for resetting completely, but it just doesn't solve me problem.)

I often thought ZSA chose to not support wireless because of this.

I chose the wireless version of 360Pro not primarily because of wireless, but because of the use of ZMK (which allows similar level of programming comparing to QMK.) eventually, the way I solve the Bluetooth problem is just to use its USB connection.

P.S. I have 2 360Pro, one at work. On top of the connection problem I mentioned above, there's also another pairing problem which I need to switch between them. Often, but not always, I need to unpair and re-pair again. It seems they aren't expecting people to have multiple 360Pro?

Hmm, I didn't realize Privacy Pass was an opt-in. That's too bad. That didn't seem to be the case when it came out, but maybe they changed it or maybe I just misremembered.

In that case, I have some bad news for you (which you already experience every day). Cloudflare lets website owners have different security levels for different countries. I think it's pretty common for some websites (especially smaller ones with a primarily US audience) to lock down other countries tighter. At one job I had to do that, and we altogether banned all Chinese and Russian IPs in Cloudflare -- on purpose. Overnight, bots and scans went from tens of thousands a day to virtually zero. We locked down other countries too, but not quite so tightly. It was selfish of us, but as a small business with mostly American customers, it was a tradeoff we chose. I would imagine other orgs make similar rules under pressure.

A village has 100 men and 100 women. There is one impoverished male incel and one female sex worker. The other 99 couples are married.

The married women are faithfully monogamous. The married men all have sex with their wives and the sex worker.

People lie. The married men claim they are faithful. The sex worker claims she does not have any sexual relations, for fear of shaming and retribution from jealous wives.

Actual stats for sexual partners:

- men: mean ~2, mode 2, median ~2.

- women: mean ~2, mode 1, median ~1

Reported stats for sexual partners:

men & women all report: mean = mode = median = ~1

This implies a full survey, but then there is sampling. The sex worker probably doesn't have to lie. The chances are that even a large sample size of, say, 5% will not even include her.

This is not how things work. Exchanges offer zillions of assets and the same asset (e.g. USDC) could be available in multiple L1s and L2s. The liquidity issue is specific to an asset in an specific technology.

The problem is when the exchange says that there is liquidity for that specific asset in an specific technology and the information is incorrect. There are few cases when some exchange shows their liquidity pool in an asset/technology.
The cost of switching goroutines, rust Futures, Zig async Frames, or fibers/userspace-tasks in general is on the other of a few nano-seconds whereas it's in the micro-second range for OS threads. This allows you to spawn tons of tasks and have them all communicate with each other very quickly (write to queue; push receiver to scheduler runqueue; switch out sender; switch to receiver) whereas doing so with OS threads would never scale (write to queue; syscall to wake receiver; syscall to switch out sender). Any highly concurrent application (think games, simulations, net services) uses userspace/custom task scheduling for similar reasons.

If someone had a house with a mortgage, bought another house with a mortgage in May, and discharged the original mortgage in October (or the following February), were they a repeat buyer or an investor? Plain English would say "repeat buyer", but I can't tell definitively how they'd be treated in the data.

The one clear reference in the article strongly suggests they'd be categorized as an investor: "The central bank defines an investor as a buyer who took out a mortgage to buy the property while maintaining a mortgage on another home."
