This is simply and empirically wrong, but you're free to believe it if you find simple falsehoods more comfortable than nuanced truths.

People need to stop using "political" when they mean "contrary to my prejudices about the world".

Perhaps only BC made the switch? Not sure. But I filled up this morning and paid after the fact at PetroCan, so it's definitely not a Canada-wide thing.
Looney Tunables: Local Privilege Escalation in the glibc's ld.so (CVE-2023-4911)
Yes, this is the case as of today. It's important to get the up/down functions right.

The good thing is that this will probably be detected during the start phase, as data would fail to be backfilled.

We are thinking of ideas to improve this in the longer term, for example:
* Having a dry-run mode where you check that the data present in the DB will stay valid after applying the up function
* Optionally allow for this to happen, but "quarantine" the affected rows so they are no longer available in the new schema.
They wanted it to be 450m wide so that the curvature would be clearly visible on camera, and then Two Revolutions per Minute is arguably a worse title than with One ;).
Read as much propaganda as you can. The more opinionated, the better, but be sure to not miss one side.
For me it's not jobs but contracts and I find them most easily on Upwork. It's not ideal for multiple reasons starting with the low rates, but this seems to be by far the place with the most projects that are easiest to get.

I also know of one called Gun.io which might be decent. Although they are Net-30 payment which is not ideal but many may consider standard still.

Some somewhat better contracts came through reddit or even Discord communities.

I usually work on my startup until I am really broke and then have to go to Upwork because I am out of time.

If you have savings and/or a network that might provide referrals, Upwork is probably the last option you should try.

If someone knows of a website for freelance work that is an alternative to Upwork let me know. They seem to have kind of a monopoly.

I'll guess that this is referencing asylum seekers and migrants.

I keep seeing this argument pop up all the time online and in person, but it's never really made sense to me. Population growth in most European countries is lower now than at many periods in the past, yet we were able to house rising populations somehow.

Do people think cities like Berlin and Paris just got plopped down fully formed at some distant point in the past, together with instructions reading "Population: 3 million max., never exceed or add anything"? They and their infrastructure have grown over time as the population has grown. There's no magic maximum population limit that every city in the western world has just happened to hit right in the last 20 years.
Bill gates owns about 270,000 acres and the area of the US divided by its population is eight acres per person. Something to think about, although I don't know what an actual conclusion would look like (some of those acres are a lot more productive than others). ;)
Gasoline comes from a refinery, is shipped by truck for the last mile, and is carefully regulated on the state level. The big chains might have a specific additive mixture they want put in the gasoline, but all stations in an area are forced to buy from the same refinery as between shipping costs, and state regulations the cost to get from anyplace else would make you noncompetitive. Sometimes there is more than one refinery, or a second pipeline to your city - but it is still safe to assume that all the gasoline you buy in any one area all came from the same refinery.
Many of my friends are real estate agents, and my observation is that most of them are not particularly educated in land use/zoning issues. Which is not to say that they don't add a lot of value in other ways, but there's no substitute for reading the zoning rules personally if you are thinking about construction.

As an outside observer my impression is that the sell-side realtor provides a lot of value (especially if he/she has a small construction crew on standby) but the buy-side realtor contributes less. Also, the incentives are misaligned for the buy-side realtor - they get paid more the higher price you pay.

I guess we use our machines in different ways :)

And I have a few use cases where 32 Gb is limiting. So I don't want to buy a brand new machine stuck at something that is, sometimes, already not ideal. And well, the usual next step is 64 Gb.
Is it necessary though? File systems aren’t that hard to understand, just more cumbersome to use, and they can learn about them if and once needed.
It was hyped some years ago. There are plenty of legitimate applications of graphs, perhaps the library offers well optimized implementation of important algorithms. But the past hype around all things "graph" was not rational. As always, you can't solve all problems with a graph as you can't with a neural network or with any other structure/algorithm
Thank you for the explanation! TIL.
As my sibling post says, if you are house flipping, you almost certainly work out a way to not have a full realtor fee. Either by being said realtor, or otherwise working out a deal. I've known several people that would do this. And I'm still fairly confident in my claim that you would really only do this if you had the capital otherwise.

Upgrading a house is another odd one. Most of the upgrades you would do that go with "get a new house" are all size and location related. You might give some pause to the fees involved, but probably not much.

My point on day trading is that transaction fees don't seem to stop people with excess cash to go off and speculate in the market. They won't be as high as realtor fees, of course, but the overall stakes are also not nearly as high.

That said HELOC and similar tools also really highlight just how bad most people's financial considerations are with home values. Refinancing to get a lower rate is a laughable idea when you consider the fees that went into that effort. And that doesn't stop many people at all from doing it. (Not to mention the ones that reset their timelines...)

All of that is to say, I still have my doubts that any of the myriad of fees involved in the process are what stops speculation.

A Repairman's View of Portable Minidisc Recorders (2000)
I don't remember who led that effort, but Stallman's statement that Epstein's victims likely presented themselves as willing is obvious. He was pushed out for his hypothetical claim that if Minsky wasn't aware of the coercion and did have sex (nobody ever claimed he did), that he was innocent. Did this end up protecting Minsky and others like Stallman wanted?

His claim here that generative AI shouldn't be called intelligent because it generates bullshit is funny because isn't that ~95% of published human writing, like much of what he's experienced directly?
Honest question: what do we even do? I'm not European but it seems like you can't talk about the "housing crisis" without having to specify whether you're talking about Europe, Canada, the US, etc.

I see suggestions to build more housing through taller buildings, but without any incentive to do that from people who care, what policies will realistically get passed to change anything?
Don't underestimate the paranoia of useless middle management who cannot justify their existence by Teams meetings alone and cannot easily brown-nose from home.
I use it with .NET 7 and cold starts are acceptable for me.

Part of that is enabling the CPU Boost since .NET and Java are both JIT runtimes. The CPU Boost seems like -- seat of the pants -- about a 50% reduction in cold start times.

You can give the CPU Boost a try and see if it makes a difference, but it may also be dependent on your framework's startup flow.

I’m always kinda bewildered by this idea. I see the plausibility, but over the last 10 or so years, apple has sold itself to people as the tech company that cares about privacy, so much so that you have to pay a premium and forego the ability to repair their products to enter their walled garden thats supposed to be privacy oriented. Would there be any fear on their part that customers would be upset that the company is now in a position to sell users data or services based on user data? Would this rollout of an ad supported search engine from apple have no backlash and be friction free?

This is in inexcusably bad taste to not call it war given the tens of thousands of combat losses - at the very least - suffered on the Iraq end. The dead deserve to have their end marked as soldiers.

The alternate point - that victory in war is only legitimate if you suffer losses - is not only absurd but categorically ahistoric. Most of history's victors are winners by huge margins, because most close fought victories turn out to be . . and I'm not trying to be cute here . . Pyrrhic.

The deeper argument about media dominance would be a good conversation to have were it not almost always taking place from a place of bad faith, and I'm especially leery of an argument along these lines from Baudrillard. OK, let's back this up. So the media has perceptual bias. I dig that. Let's sample all the data we have, assign a spread, and get a number . . "No no no nonono . . ALL the information is bias!" Well, then, you're just asking me to get rid of the media so I can believe what you're telling me, and that's jacking my bias all the way up to eleven. So go sit on a marlinspike.
I am pretty sure they intended the butt of the joke to be intentionally themselves
Most people would probably prefer to live in a cheap shack, if it was available and not in a crime-ridden area, if it meant getting back 50% of their income. Housing does not need to be expensive to build, it's just modern "standards".

Ford Model T cost $260 in 1925 ($4561 in current USD). But today's cars are closer to $40k.

Things don't need to be so expensive, it's not all inflation - it's scope creep and bloat.
I'm also starting to think that people underplay the devastation financial crimes cause relative to physical violence. People in a very real sense "eat money".

If you steal someone's life savings you've harmed them way worse than just giving them a beating. And investment fraudsters tend to also have a lot of victims.

That's never mind the physical harm that results from the stress of losing your life savings, including substance abuse and in extreme cases suicide.
Ironically, we make housing way more expensive than it needs to be by forcing homes to be heavily permitted and built to code, rather than just letting people build non-code homes and letting purchasers decide to buy it or not with full knowledge.
Well, we can at least change the title to that above. I've done so now.
There was an article in Byte back in the day that recommended that define, along with several other to make C a more sane, pascal-like, language.

So they used a super-secret algorithm to… raise prices? That’s all?

When you’re the leader in your category, it’s quite obvious that competitors are aligned on your prices, and that if you raise them they would raise them as well. At a previous company our main competitor fixed most of its prices to 1 cent below ours, so when we raised the prices they followed us as well.

> people absolutely freak-out if you plan to build any amount of housing at all.

This. Europeans voted for this situation, hard, like really, really hard, for years on end. They did everything they could to ensure sky-high property prices. Now they have it. I'm not entirely sure that I see the problem.
He pushed the same thing at HP as well. And the left Microsoft soon after as well.

I think its more like that he was brought in by the board because those were his opinions.

The board was sick of paying for development of MIPS and IRIX. The believed their future was massive multicore Itanium Windows IT systems. And because they wouldn't do any of the development but would make the same kind of profits, they would just print money.

This of course backfired in a whole bunch of different ways.
This isn't HFT, and Amazon isn't placing any orders. Going "I'm gonna lower my prices so competitors have to do it too to remain competitive" is not illegal iirc, and I don't think it should it be.

There is plenty of space in Europe, and plenty of housing in Europe. Parts of France are full of empty houses, in Italy whole villages are up for sale, and East Germany has lost large amounts of population.

If governments could make living in areas where lots of living space is available attractive, we would not need new houses.
That's good to know! Yeah - I shouldn't imply that these preferences are universal or absolute, just trends I've personally noticed.

I have the same thought on this as we are on Drizzle too
If their sample rate and position accuracy was even remotely acceptable, then it should be obvious he was riding past and didn't spend more 1 minute with 100m of the location. They should only have been asking whether he saw anything suspicious.

What if an airplane flew over during the burglary? Are they suspects?

OTOH if it showed that his position was static within 10m of the home for 20min before leaving again... then that might be evidence. Almost all of us leave huge digital footprints that can be followed with a warrant (not sure about UK). That can be used for pretexting, but can also be used as an alibi.
Yes, you can find the documentation in other places and that is what I usually do, but it sucks because this is the official documentation of the programming language.

Having those links to quickly take a look at the implementation is what made this documentation so good.

Depending in the demographics, a fertility rate below replacement level can still lead to a rising population even when excluding migrants, as the people who would be "replaced" by the new births might live for many more decades.

I.e., we'd probably still have a housing crisis in Europe even if not a single foreigner came in.
That's why we need a land value tax as Henry George proposed. People should not be able to make money by squatting on land and waiting for its value to appreciate - whether as a owner-occupier or as a landlord.

Perhaps it's easier to make it legal to build more housing in desirable areas instead of convincing millions of people to live in small, deserted villages with no jobs
In section 'Uses of the argument' there is mentioned current war in Ukraine. It is based on 'simulacra' part of original articles. Although true (this is how thing will be presented from now on), but original articles were mostly based on the fact that it was not war between peers.

There is this idea that US doctrine is based on air superiority. Which is not present in Ukraine as there are more or less peer armies. So 'use of the argument' is not really valid here (simulacra part can be used on its own).
I don't think having regulations is the problem here, you can easily have regulations and have more housing being built, because regulation is not a binary choice.
The ruling class will do nothing to decrease real estate prices because it has skin in the game - they do NOT want them to decrease.

>because you're taking the authors ridiculous claim and downgrading it to be reasonable instead...

At no point have I quoted the article or explicitly suggested that what is said in the article is not taking place.

>... all of this stemming from you taking a quote out of context to make a point that no one was making.

OP made a point clear, that "it would be extremely obvious if your searches were being so egregiously converted". Whether or not I quote the full sentence doesn't change the fact that, no, I do not believe that average end users would find it "extremely obvious [that] ... their searches were being so egregiously converted". And that's literally all I've said here - that I don't think end users would be as perceptive of something like this as OP would think.

>... the key word being "egregiously", which is a response to the level of severity the author is making in their claim.

Whether or not I quote the word "egregiously" does not change my point, nor does it suggest that I've decided to ignore the word and "downgrade" what's said in the article because of it.

I'm struggling to understand how you both seem to be unable to understand something so simple. Feel free to disagree with what I said, but don't twist my words around if you don't like that point.

>trying to be an enforcer of conversational tone by repeatedly claiming how responses that you don't want to engage in are "aggressive" isn't conducive to productive discussion. no one's being overtly hostile, outside of you trying to hijack a discussion to exclusively entertain a nonsequitor.

Responding to me with, "That's what you should be saying," and, "Refute what the article is saying, not your generous interpretation of it," is aggressive, if not rude at the very least. It demonstrates that OP (and you, now) are both missing the point (willfully, it seems, since I have to keep repeating myself over something so simplistic) and are twisting my words, or how I've chosen to quote a passage, around. I know that it's pretty uncouth to trot this out, but my initial comment has a good number of upvotes (so does the comment you just replied to), so there are people out there who have a better understanding of my comment than y'all seem to have.

I am not downgrading anything - I genuinely believe that it's not so obvious to the average end user, no matter how egregious it might be. And that's a refutation of OP's comment, not the article.
