Leasing agents are worse here in Romania.

They will take private listings and put their watermark on the photos and list it under their own number.

When you call them, they have to call the landlord to arrange a showing. Then we both stand outside the apartment waiting for the landlord to show up. Basically they're a third wheel in the whole transaction.

Half the time the thing is already leased and they didn't take it off their website.

On top of it all they take the commission from the buyer. It makes no sense.

At least leasing agents in the US do a lot more than playing phone tag with the buyer and the seller.

I am sorta doing this, locally. I have a handful of servers in my basement that I use vscode+remote-ssh to work with. The benefit is that I can jump from my desktop to my laptop without any fuss. I can leave long-running scripts online for like an experimental batch job and attach to that from any machine, even when I am not home thanks to wireguard/tailscale. It is very nice knowing my dev env is always there in the state I last left it. This also gives the nice benefit of being able to choose your developer env (windows or mac) while running your dev/code/system on a linux system for example. It also gets you around architecture issues, like if your laptop is arm-based and your app needs x86.

I was initially kinda opposed to this and preferred "bare metal development" on my local rig. But the performance is actually pretty incredible for remote development with vscode such that I don't really notice things are running on different hardware.

We recently had some new members join the team and I decided to spin up some dedicated EC2 instances for them to use for this exact purpose. They aren't being used yet, but as our stack becomes more sophisticated I think workloads will transition there. It's done with a custom terraform module that also provisions other assets needed for each dev (regardless of local or remote dev) like an S3 bucket, some dynamo tables, IAM roles, etc. Being able to onboard a new dev with a handful of lines added to a mapping is pretty awesome.

tl;dr I would absolutely consider remote dev spaces.
I use it mainly as a data-exploration method. For example, if the Winsorized mean gives a value that differs a lot from the conventional mean, then I might examine the outliers in a bit more detail with tools like a boxplot or a histogram.

The source of the data matters a lot in what methods make sense. For example, hand-entered numbers might involve transposed digits, or missing signs, or decimal points in the wrong place. Numbers deriving from some electronic measurements might have problems with numbers "pegging out" at some limit. In other cases, those numbers might "wrap around". Data that have been examined at an earlier stage might have numbers changed to something that is obviously wrong, like a temperature of -999.999 or something. The list goes on.

My point is that exploring outliers is often quite productive, and comparing means to Winsorized means can be a very quick way to see if outliers are an issue. This is not so much an issue for interactive work, for which plotting data is usually an early step, but it can come in handy during a preliminary stage of processing large datasets non-interactively. It can also be handy as part of a quality-control pipeline in a data stream.

What's your opinion on using this library as a base for (eg) a simplified "world-of-warcraft" clone?

I've done a lot of thinking (but not coding) around "simply replicating state" being the right answer to interconnected apps.

The degenerate case is to model everything as a git transaction log, but be able to run it "faster" than really using git. It's very intriguing to hear your discussion of "branching, sequentialization, etc..." because that seems like the right way to go. ( edit: and implicit _physics_ vs. state transfer in some cases... it's cheaper to send nuke@[x,y,z] instead of the literal calculations and changes to state that single action may imply ... physics in games maybe being gravity and ballistics, but 'business-physics' might be update/select/modify, etc. )

There's a few interesting optimizations/tradeoffs in some of the "real" multiplayer networking libraries: https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/network.ht...

...eg: Unguaranteed, Guaranteed, Guaranteed Order, Most Recent State, Guaranteed Quickest (and each client has it's own "camera" / perspective against the "scene", where +180 might be "need it now b/c I'm looking at it", but -180 might be "meh, need close-to-the-latest-state before I turn around and look at it").

I'm rooting for you b/c "multiplayer + physics" seems like the right answer (eg: the ghost of couchdb), but no one seems to have (yet) cracked the semantic code as to how to describe "as fast as local, but synchronized with $THESE tradeoffs and $EXCEPTIONS".
I didn't know EVs in that price range existed to be fair, when I was comparing different options, it seemed like a common gap between ICEs and EVs was at least 10k, usually 15k.

I'm not a car nerd so I don't really know if those two options are comparable without diving into it, but if the gap really was that small, I'd definitely change my mind!

> If we can sue and get a percentage of the fines, we could build this right now.

Environmental fines are usually extremely low (if caught by government) and often non-existent (when caught and reported by the polluting company). The regulatory systems genuinely work hard to try to allow industrial polluters to identify, report, and fix their own problems. Otherwise it would create a culture of hiding problems. The regulatory agencies use the safe, open communication with industrial polluters to disseminate "best practices" on how to reduce emissions.

I'm not arguing the current system is best, but just that there are a few potential problems with making things more adversarial which should be at least thoroughly considered and discussed.

Fines are only "large" when there's clearly willful, known violation of environmental regulations. Such as if there has been obvious, active, long-term covering-up and managerial actions taken to hide the problems. Or if there are repeated orders to fix a problem and the company continues without remedying the issue. And even then, they aren't very large.

> If we can sue and get a percentage of the fines, we could build this right now.

I'd support that. For me, the model I came up with is to get $150 million donated by some philanthropist and put together a best practice, full scale pilot demo in the Houston, Lake Jackson, or Baton Rouge area. Each monitoring station would cost about $1 million upfront and probably $100,000-200,000 per year to run. You'd need 50-100 of these to monitor the boundaries of each plant and the boundaries of each nearby neighborhood.

I think if this was shown to identify which individual business units were leaking, it would result in much lower emissions. A 5-year trial should be enough to help gather federal tax dollars from a sympathetic administration to build a public version of this, or build the support to require and facilities with a "Reportable Quantity" of environmentally hazardous materials onsite to have effective emissions monitoring of both air and water at the boundaries of the facility.

to be clear the caveat has a caveat - the centralized control you're talking about is through public (privately hosted) APIs. anyone running a node on the chain can still send and receive whatever they want. unless the majority of the chain chooses to black list addresses, then you have a hard fork because the nodes don't have a consensus on the protocol (open vs black listing).

I dont think there is really a contradiction here if you dig into it.

Incentives very much do matter, but that doesn't say anything about free will. Conversely, the existence or lack of free will doesn't say anything about how we should implement incentives.

If you accept the premise that a mass shooter has no more control than a heart attack victim, what should that change?
It certainly doesn't imply that we should make mass shooting legal or be incentivized.

Having read some of his books and watched his lectures, it seems like the only moral point he raises from this is that criminal justice should be guided by maximizing benefit to the greater population (which includes setting an example or incentive) but not simple revenge.

However, this is only loosely connected to the topic of free will. You can arrive at the same conclusion from a utilitarian perspective, or even from Christian ideals of forgiveness.

There is a difference between recognizing that racism exists, and saying that racism is at the root of a particular problem (rather than "merely" something that also exists).

I traded a Toyota full size pickup truck in for my first Tesla, a Model S, because Tesla needed to move units to survive.

It's ugly, I love it, I don't care what it costs.

They can, but the walls are not strong enough to perturb those programmers who do not know any better, don’t care, or are under sufficient pressure to sweep aside good practice. Micro-anything is the philosophy based in the presumption that your engineers will not respect softer walls and modules and therefore strong ones must be constructed.

It’s obvious that strong walls have immense cost, but perhaps for a large enough organization it enables faster movement overall with fewer faults. Walls are good after all.

What’s fascinating to me about micro-anything vs. monolith-anything is it’s much more a function of team structure and culture than of technical merit. In some cases, the technically inferior solution can deliver more to the business when combined with the unfortunate realities of human development.

I agree with the original offer that micro-anything should ultimately be considered a failure of better modularity mechanisms.

I would challenge if the size of the machine or responsiveness of the cloud is superior to local. Most people are not compiling Rust all day, but refreshing JavaScript. Which is to not even bring up the cost difference to rent or own a beefy piece of hardware. 64 gigs of ram is nothing for a local machine, but comes at a cloud premium.

I do think there are some real wins in ensuring development environments are consistent and versioned. Knowing you can pick up the exact version used to develop the project without dedicated effort is attractive.
Wow, such a bad security combo:
1- Not enforcing 2fa for new accounts and migrating old ones to app 2fa on login + requiring mail code enter before that to create a temporary weaker 2fa, this way some users will spot the problem and click that they're hacked
2- lack of data encryption for servind data to client(so that 23me has full access to unencrypted db on isolated servers, but users will need to enter some additional password
3- not checking against existing pwned dbases and autoreset the password
4- better control for sharing dna data for ppl discovery. Why on earth they provide 1.5k matches, they could limit to 100 closest ones for example and provide 1.5k for additional pay

For such a company that handles this data, I would have expected much harder security measures
I started with VB 1.0 for DOS, (before that I used PDQ) and used VB all the way to 6.0 - I agree there hasn't been anything like it since.

However some of the downsides included DLL hell and requiring 3rd party components for functions like TCP/IP (IP-Works) and more advanced UI elements and so on. I remember investing quite a lot in such components - I recall componentsource.com as being a key marketplace. I think one of the main issues was OS integration, hooking into Win32 required all kinds of incantations. Decompilers were also an issue.

It brings back memories of a much simpler time in terms of development, especially the UI editor - it was so fast to just draw a few forms and hook them up to code. I used it a lot for statistics type interfaces, and CRUD type systems, however I wrote a P2P communication tool back in 2000 that even had VOIP. I also recall writing a game that wrapped OpenGL and running it on my SGI520 Windows NT box. So much fun.

I transitioned to .NET and C# and didn't look back or bother with VBScript.

However I recall at the time feeling so abandoned by Microsoft, having to learn another complete system from scratch - existing projects didn't come across cleanly.

Anyhow... just a bit of a greybeard rant about the 'good old times'...

Just as an aside - after playing around with BBC Basic during covid, I was so impressed how OS calls were implemented in the language. If VB integrated with Win32 to the same level BBC basic integrates with RiscOS it would have been pretty much the perfect tool in my opinion.

I used to think scientists were being awfully carbon centric in their quest for life. There must be so many other ways for live to exist right? But once you take organic chemistry it seems so likely that other life would also be carbon based. Literally nothing else in the periodic table is as good as carbon for the flexibility that life benefits from so much. Silicon is a distant second.

While it is certainly not impossible that there are forms of non-carbon based life out there, they would have to be utterly dwarfed by the number of carbon based ones.
