I'm not sure where you're going with that. My point was really that being at the top is nice but the 30th %-ile aren't enthusiastic.

120k is going to be like 85k after tax so assuming they use the median rent rate they went from 21% to 28% of their post-tax salary going to rent. That's certainly going to be noticed (5.5k / month to 5k / month; 10% drop)

And the median household definitely noticed considering their income decreased [1].

> Update: I think I see what happened. Xata is a serverless DB service, and this is a tool they wrote that can be used independently of their service (I assume). The subscription options presented to the user look like they are related to this CLI tool, but they are in fact for the broader Xeta service.

Yes, that's right. Xata is a Postgres-based service and we're working on exposing the Postgres DB directly and unrestricted to our users. As part of this, we're also open-sourcing parts of the platform. We'll have more such open source projects soon.

This is not exactly the case with pgroll, as its approach is different from what we do today in Xata, but we'll be incorporating pgroll in Xata soon.
Yes, cracking down on the unlicensed, uninsured black market in hotel rooms will raise the price of an average stay. But there are obvious benefits that the Airbnb CEO isn't considering.

I feel hypocritical, because with a young child Airbnb is awesome for trips. We get space and separate rooms. But I understand the strain it's putting on our system (I'm Canadian).
Regions do not support tourism for the sake of the tourist. They support tourism, because tourists spend lots of money which flows into the pockets of the people that work there. Tourists spend around 48 billion on the NYC economy.

You shouldn't consider it the exception.

The rich are usually not so narcissistic they will only let sycophants work for them, so they dot their i's and cross their t's correctly. There's a lot of room for being sneaky in ways most of us disapprove of before it crosses into criminal.

And at the time of writing, this list is disjoint also:

(Though looking at the details, that isn't what I would've expected from the description "American politicians convicted of" as a Canadian is included; technically yes, and I won't speak either way as to if I think you should count that).
You don't need to be a hustler or plugged in with local polls to get away with running a shoddy AirBnB, the site will happily let you do it and the space is completely unregulated.

Yea, keeping your application consistent with two different schema versions. And I'm not saying from a blue/green standpoint, from whatever pgroll does instead so when the rollback happens you don't lose data.

A video came across my feed recently talking about this in tech. Was talking about how the advice for getting into tech that worked really well 1+ years ago isn't as effective today. Basically, the idea was that tech was hiring so voraciously, that they couldn't keep up with hiring by relying on networking bringing in enough candidates, so they needed a lot more recruiting efforts to fill the pipeline. This meant, that just grinding leet code and applying was enough to significantly increase the odds of getting hired. Basically the proportion of random application hires to referral hires was high. Today, not so much. I'd expect to need to jump though a lot more hoops today (not that leet code studying isn't it's own major hoop) to get hired. And of course, this proportion will shift again with the next major tech hiring boom.
That's a great idea, we will do that.
The quality of the formatter is extremely important. Using a bad formatter is such a bad experience that I would agree it may be better to not use it... but modern languages have this problem mostly solved (not so sure about D)... the example in the post would still be broken up in multiple lines because almost all formatters will avoid having multiple "statements" in a single line, for good reason.
But as with any tool: you can probably improve it, for example, to keep this exact "pattern" if you really like it... I wonder if there are formatters that are powerful enough to allow this sort of customization.

> for this reason, String iteration should be based on codepoints

This leads you to the problem where you'll get different results iterating over

vs

And I can't see how that's ever going to be a useful outcome.

If you normalize everything first, then you can sidestep this to some degree, but then in effect your normalization has turned codepoint iteration into grapheme iteration for most common Latin-script text characters.

Okay, but I have a resume that is a good fit for a lot of different roles but isn't seen by any human ever because it doesn't include the specific combination of keywords mentioned in the job posting.

I am in the process right now of embedding keywords and a "shadow resume" invisibly in my resume to get past the stupid filtering software.

Employers are doing this to themselves.
I guess this is interesting research, but for me not personally useful.

Chicago Tipping Fight Brings Tough Choices for Restaurants
I was astonished when DHH just merged the PR removing Typescript, without even considering comments or feedback from the community.

Nicholas is right that open source maintainers owe us nothing. They have their own objectives. And if they decide to do something, like removing Typescript, it’s up to them.

But open source is also about building a community around your software. For small and large projects. DHH and Nicholas are kind of missing this part. You can’t expect users to trust you and continue using your software, if all of a sudden, you change just about everything.

Back in the day, phones were improving so fast that upgrading often was naturally incentivized. These days, the tech has plateaued and phones are a commodity. How often does the average person replace their fridge? How often does the average person replace their hot water boiler? That's how often I want to replace my phone; closer to every ten years than every two years.
I find AirBnBs only make sense in two scenarios:

- You need a "long term" stay, like 3-6 weeks. When I travel over seas, I usually stay in a single city for at least 3 weeks. Having an AirBnB makes sense. I don't need daily cleaning and having a kitchen is great!
- You need a full house for a family gathering.

Neither of these compete with hotels.

Granted, there were options for these types of stays before AirBnB (VRBO and private listings), but AirBnB elevated these.

Hmm, Im not sure what is the problem if the answer is reducing personal "CO2 emission" from 5 to 3 tons. With due respect it just indicates the plague of today, nobody being able to grasp scales of things. Second, reducing CO2, despite all you hear in mainstream perception control media, is going to do exactly nothing with supposed climate stability. Nay, in pursuit of this goal, we will actually destroy the responsible entity for stabilizing life supporting ecology (including climate) -- micro-biota [natural, large-scale and healthy ecosystems]. This is the proper ecological view point, not a modeler climatologist. But that is a separate issue.

Keep in mind that US military alone, in peaceful time!, just that it exists and polices the world, consumes directly equivalent of 15-20 tons per US capita. Im very much convinced (after studying the issue) that this estimate is grossly underestimated. Now, imagine adding China, Russia, EU and all the induced mess that was created by the west means in wasting resources, energy, our environment into producing things to be blown up and destroyed in general (one way or another)? It is preposterous that we are tricked into this false issue with ridiculous proposed solution. We shall say resounding NO to this. Anyone, individually, reducing from 5 to 3 tons of CO2 (even if you can do it, has nothing to do with anything, sorry for bursting the bubble).

On another level of analysis, war-machines and bigoted ideology/philosophy where the one side is denied what the other calls is god-given-right (yes Im looking at USA+UK+EU). When Western countries export their trash (e-waste, clothes, plastics, etc) to report how green they are. One can go on about the self-proclaimed and celebrated hypocrisy and bigotry so prevalent in the western collective psyche. How billions are spent on destroying countries and exporting their resources... common... how does one ignore that? It is beyond comprehension how we have such a blind spot, how we can be (collectively psychologically) so ruthless and stupid in so many ways to start discussing, pretending to be serious to reduce individually from 5 to 3 tons. Perhaps somebody more eloquent can write on this in a way digestible to a modern western semi-intellectuals (which most of us here are). (This shall not be taken personally by the poster, it is those sterile ideals, the assumptions behind this kind of questions that Im attacking here).
Yes. I can see that having inexpensive, repairable devices could be good for people who can't afford iPhones or AppleCare, whether in the US or elsewhere.

Where can i find the data you're using?
If your organization requires change management (as many are contractually obligated to), then you don't have much of a choice. Every change needs to be tested, every change needs a way to fully and completely roll back the change, and the rollback has to be tested.

Additionally, the people executing the change are not necessarily those who have developed the change. They need two big buttons: Do and Undo. If the change fails or breaks something, they hit the Undo button and tell the developers about it and by the way, here are the logs, please go reproduce it on the test system and try again.

I know this is not "devops," but it's still how a lot of high-availability software deployments work, particularly when hampered by bureaucratically-imposed processes.

Finally, database schema changes are a fine way to irreversibly munge your data if you are not careful. (This goes beyond SQL.) If that happens, there is no such thing as a path forward, the only way to save the ship is to restore from your most recent backup.
Okay sure but most people with a steady 9 to 5 aren't buying industrial volumes of crack. Poverty creates big demand for the worst of the drug trade. Moreover, the drug dealers who are earning big exploiting this aren't going to be found in the worst parts of the city. The police are at best picking up the low- to mid-level distributors. "Broken Windows" has failed to win the drug war for decades; if you want to keep backing a failed experiment you're welcome to it, but I'm going to seek an improvement.
> after all, another thief might be around the back lowering his own pump into the big storage tanks

And that's apparently very common. According to the podcast I linked to in another comment, the deliveries are often done when no one is around, so the hatches to the tanks are often left unlocked overnight.
> 123,000 hotel rooms

That sounds kinda low for NYC.
You'd think that people would eventually wisen up to where the police are going to go to look for drug crimes. This isn't a smart game of whacka mole being played, the moles are just stuck in the up position.

These days, in places like SF and Seattle, people just freely use their drugs on the street while cops just look on. But it is just one segment of the population that is doing it out in the open (unhoused), and cracking down on them would be considered racist (well, most of them are white, the argument is confusing).

> mainly because poor people need money badly, secondly because people in sufficiently dire poverty stop caring about the social norms of the middle class

As far as crime goes, shoplifting rings, at least in our area, is mostly about drugs. You shoplift a lego set from Target, and get some fent in return from your ring leader. But ya, social norms are completely out the window at that point, and we are just seeing the end of that path.

It is in vogue to call AirBnB a tech company, but they are no different than any other internet booking engine (Booking.com, Expedia, etc). The only difference is they manage the inventory database themselves vs plugging into other lodging inventory systems.
Ehrm. Yes, there is permission. I did not say it imply that there is a restriction there, or did I?!

Just meant that so far, the permission has not led to a thriving ecosystem. So beyond permission there must be factors. Like access to money.

Not at all frameworks fault, of course. I was trying to argue from perspective of potential competitor what would be holding them back.
He’s whistling past the graveyard, as I suppose he should be. As others have commented, Airbnb was never enough to move the needle on hotel prices in NY anyway.

But they did move the needle on quality of life for people who live there, which is whom the government represents. Historically it’s the visitors who get soaked everywhere (car rental fees at airport, hotel visitor taxes and of course Cheesecake Factory in Times Square). The sheer mass of these charges in NY are another reason why Airbnb had no impact on costs.
My god this is one absolutely breathtaking video. Well done.
>D-D requires a higher triple product than D-T fusion and produces less energy, so most companies go with D-T, and don't attempt to use D-D to produce the tritium.

Yes, because again, all the ways we know how to make Tritium are implausible from either an energy balance standpoint or a "where do we get all these energized neutrons" standpoint. That's always been my argument.

>You don't need to breed He3 unless you can get net power from D-He3. If you can do that, then you can probably also get net power from D-D

Going back to this, you're aware D-D results in 50% T and 50% He3, right? Helion relies on D-T fusion working so they can sell their "waste" Tritium (lol).

None of these things you are claiming to be easy factually pencil out and that is why we are so far from commercial fusion.
Oh, that's very neat!

I live in an apartment, and none of the parking lots near us have charging spaces…so unfortunately we’re stuck with gas cars until that situation changes.
Cool, now do housing costs for the people living there (and, theoretically, the ones deciding how their own city should be regulated).

Backlash was never about hotel prices, it was always about the externalities like rampant real estate speculation driving up housing costs and hollowing out neighborhoods for a quick buck. The corporate economic pollution.

Turns out there's a certain point where people want their quality of life. Ignoring this angle is completely disingenuous and tone deaf, but hey, if your argument can't stand on the merits, throw in a fear-mongering distraction. CEO-speak 101.
Maybe next time shamelessly mention that you sell models for $29 and there is no instructions to convert from vanilla SD.

Hotels will get more expensive, competition does not limit the effects of supply and demand. But rents will become less expensive.
At what point is it negligence on the part of the manufacturer?
By the same logic rents will go down, so thanks for the crackdown.
The war on general computing has been ongoing but not made enough inroads to stop people from owning general computing devices (yet)
I'm surprised that nobody talks about content-addressed encryption with IPFS. It would be the perfect fit for IPFS. Content-addressed encryption uses the hash of the content as the encryption key. Which means don't need to transmit an extra key. And that anybody who has the original hash can access the encrypted version.
I used to work for a similar company - a competitor - and the marketing analysis would consistently and very strongly return the same result everytime:

Customers think they are getting more for their money via a short-term rental platform like AirBnB.

The perception is that Hotels have all kinds of additional services (staff, etc) to pay that (somehow) AirBnB hosts don't. The glossy adverts show you a loving, warm, full-of-character home to visit, whilst most hotels have an almost cold, faceless image of nothing but dimly-lit corridor after corridor of numbered rooms.

Reality is most of the properties are owned or managed by rental megacorps, are priced very highly to hide all the commission and fees, they sit empty for long periods of time between rentals, and they get cleaned and maintained _far_ less frequently than hotel rooms do.

For those curious, as I was, how this works, beyond the details in the readme and blog post, note that "schema" in this context is both a loose term (we changed the schema, old schema, new schema) AND a concrete thing in PostgreSQL[0]. It's helpful to know that pgroll implements the first one (let's change the schema) using the second one (make Schema objects in PG [1]). The magic is in creating different views in different Schemas that map appropriately to underlying tables (in a third Schema).

Presumably (didn't see this mentioned in the docs yet) the trick is that you re-deploy the app with a new connection string referencing the new schema (as in [3]), while an old app deployment can keep referencing the old schema with its connection string.

Hopefully I got that right.

It also, probably more so, was a signal to the user to start thinking about how to break the current line. You couldn’t type and, upon realizing the word you were typing didn’t fit the line, backspace and type a hyphen.

‘About ten columns’ then is a reasonable number. Of course, longer words exist and aren’t extremely rare, but those would have a reasonable hyphenation point that you could and would want to use.
Yep. It's not a ploy that will do much.
