You can totally do that. As you read the events, you can store and sort them in date order, then produce the state from the sorted order of events when you've finished reading the stream. There's nothing wrong with storing intermediary state before producing your final aggregate.

It might mean you can't do snapshotting unless you add additional logic though - checking for the date of the last seen event and triggering a new snapshot due to the out-of-orderness of the event entry.
> a rhetorical trick as old as time

It is actually a means of pivoting to a different subject, and the next step is to make the subject the person doing the pivoting, and from there to change the entire scope of the discussion to the interpersonal dynamics of the parties involved in the discussion.

On the left (whom I would count myself among, even if I would hardly pass a purity test) there are many ways to do this, the key to all of them being that there's not a serious attempt to engage with the substance of the matter but simply to use an intersecting contextual facet as a means to collect the focus away from the topic and toward the discussant. Racism is probably the most straightforward path, or at least the most well-traveled (of the two mentioned in this thread, it would outrank abortion by being more generally applicable across age groups sexes religions etc) it goes "this isn't about x, x is really about racism. Your position on x implies you might be a racist. That position is personally offensive to me, who is directly or indirectly affected by racism." Done. conversation is now about people, and specifically two individual people, and specifically about the unfalsifiable statements about the feelings of one or both, and this is where it ends.

The right wing version of this trick, at least in the US, is much clumsier and ham-fisted but follows from the same motivation to replace the confrontation with an idea with a personal confrontation, though unlike the progressives they have only managed to devise one or two lasting variations of this same discussion-jamming measure: the pedophilia track and the socialist / communist sympathizer track.

I'm at a loss as to how to even attempt to have conversations in public about anything that matters due to the ever-present danger of one of these tactics surfacing and rendering the entire effort pointless. Perhaps we need to revive IRL coffee shop culture of small close circle debate from the 1800s, or import something like it from wherever a form of it still exists, maybe morocco or turkey.
Stupid question: why does android use ART (and Dalvik before that)? I guess it's more performant for mobile phones, but then, is there a reason why other java apps don't use it outside of android? Has anyone tried using ART/Dalvik outside of the android ecosystem?

Not just email, but there are alternative platforms that are more permissive of alternative opinions - Truth social, Rumble, Odysee, Telegram. So what's the ask? It seems to be not just freedom of expression, but reach of expression.

To reference a provided example, the civil rights movement certainly benefited from freedom of speech, but at no point were mainstream media outlets compelled to publish opinions by civil rights leaders. While I'm pretty ignorant of the history, I'm sure the civil rights movement was largely organized and energized by alternative media - zines, newsletters and the like - and not by ABC news.

The latest topic of political discussion - Israel vs Palestine - is proving this. Not to derail the conversion about that topic itself, as it's highly contentious, but to point out that is a topic that is far from black and white, and both sides in our oversimplified two party system are finding out that there is nuance to be had on that topic, as they can't agree what the "right" stance is, though they can collectively agree that some ideas are stupid. To look at the other big topics of the past few, someone could be anti-mask and pro-vaccine, or anti-looting and vandalism but anti-police violence, neither of which wholly aligns with either party, but exists in the broader spectrum of what an individual believes in.

You should go out and learn some magic. There are plenty of books, videos, etc.

There's actually less to learn than you might think. The vast majority of magic comes down to a handful of basic principles. What the magician adds is showmanship, and a butt-ton of practice.

Once you know the basic principles, you can usually figure out the tricks. It might take multiple viewings -- which is part of the reason that it's less impressive to explain the trick. Once seen, it's hard to un-see it. Even performing the same trick twice identically gives the audience a huge opportunity to figure out what to look for.

What the magician really wants is your respect for how much work went into making it work out. The trickiness is usually not that big of an insight. The hard part is that it takes hours and hours and hours to learn to, say, deal a card from the bottom of the deck while making it look exactly as if it were drawn from the top. It's taking a deeply unnatural motion and making it look as if it were a different, natural motion.

So from the magician's point of view, you really would be disappointed to hear "All I did was to put your card on the bottom of the deck and deal it out." It's easy to describe and hard to do -- the least rewarding kind of skill.

Most magicians already know how everybody else's tricks are done. Stealing tricks isn't really the issue. What they really want to do is steal the trick and make it their own -- which may involve elaborate construction. Many magicians are pretty competent engineers, and the big acts all have a team of engineers in their workshop.

So really, if you want to know how the trick is done, go read some magic books. There are fewer secrets than you think. Once you've got the basics, watching a magic act is like solving a puzzle. It's more fun than having them tell you the solution. And you can really respect the effort that went into making it happen.

Gross is silly you need to talk net. Living wage in California is like 37k before taxes 43k if you include taxes on that and assuming a tax rate of around 25% of the rest that means you have excess take home of $22,500 a year.

$2,000 a year would be around 10% extra income not related to staying alive.

I wouldn't call 10% a minor deal.

Also your point about 1-2% cost shows why this is a good bill. Cover the things you need to, pay a few points of payroll and get a significant benefit for your employees.

Sorry, I didn't explain enough. The total commission remains 6%, but if the Seller's Agent split is only 1.25%, the Seller Agent's Broker (most likely) will deny that as the Broker would receive a reduced cut of the commission.

The Seller and the Seller's Agent may be cool with the reduction, but the Broker would ultimately have the final say since it's, legally, their contract.
I did a similar exercise recently when I needed to make a fairly basic rest API and CRUD frontend using 2 frameworks I wasn't particularly familiar with. I used GPT4 to generate ALL the code for it. I'll write a blog post about it soon, but a quick overview was:

I suspect it was slower than just writing the code/referencing the docs, and would be much slower than someone could do if they were experienced with the two frameworks. I had to be very specific and write a few long and detailed prompts for the more complex parts of a the application. It took around 5 hours to make the application, with a lot of that time spent sitting waiting for the (sometimes painfully slow) ChatGPT output. In a framework I'm more familiar with I think I could have easily got it done in under 2 hours

It was definitely useful for making sure I was doing it the correct way, kind of like have an expert on call for any questions. It was also very useful for generating perfectly formatted boilerplate code (some frameworks have CRUD generation built in, but this one did not).

It was a fun experiment, and I found it useful as a learning/guiding/generation tool, but I won't be using it for general day to day development any more than I currently do. For most instances it's quicker to just learn the framework well and write the code yourself.

I'm not a big fan of any SoCs which have soldered-on RAM or storage, but I find it an odd point to argue that I'm supporting Apple's ecosystem overall when all I did was buy their hardware on sale. Their App Store is by far their biggest money-maker.
You might not even need to do that much. I sold a home in a desirable neighborhood (I don't mean high-end, just a nice solid middle-class area with good schools, etc) by just putting a "for sale" sign in the front yard.

Having commission be a percent of sales has some theoretical advantages. For example you might think the agent is motivated to get you the highest selling price. But in reality they are much more interested in making a sale at any price, because that lets them get paid and lets them move on from marketing your property.

Residential real-estate transactions with a mortgage are about as regulated and standardized as it gets. The listing agent actually does very little beyond getting the property listed in the MLS. The difference in the amount of work they do in selling a $100K house vs. a $900K house is small (in fact the $100K house might take a lot more work because at that price it's probably got some serious drawbacks), so why should the higher sale price pay them much more?
this is unfortunately not an entirely good argument…

> Then the colleague continues by numbering the next apple "126", and the process ends at "188". At that point the colleague has to guess whether the counting started at 0 or at 1, i.e. whether the total number of apples is 188 or 189.

false. the next person, having heard 188, only needs to know what follows. 189. as this is a job that has been divided, so long as the beginning stage is recorded somewhere, as well as the end stage, each worker (save first and last) exclusively need to know the number of the apple prior to their first for their first apple is not zero or one, it is the number immediately following last. n+1.

counting could have started at -1.

I don't think the coding analogy holds at all. To me, writing good working maintainable software of non trivial complexity is craft, and to call it that is high praise indeed. I'm not entirely sure what art is, but I think it tends to happen when someone wants to create for the sake of creating, rather than maximising commercial gain, status, or whatever. It's orthogonal to craft.

I enjoyed the Picasso museum in Barcelona and it was indeed eye opening to see his conventional but excellent architectural drawings ;-)

I assume niche.com is using household incomes for a specific school’s surrounding neighborhoods, although I cannot attest to how accurate it is compared to actual school boundaries.

I think we might be saying the same thing though, since “right” school generally means a school where a large proportion of the other kids have parents who are throwing a lot of resources at the kids (including the parents’ time and attitudes towards academic learning). It just so happens that this group of parents is higher income, so the easily visible statistic will be neighborhoods with higher income households will have higher academic proficiency percentages in the schools.

Generally we say "real users" internally as a comparison to benchmarks, as in "this improves JetStream by 5%, but I don't think it will make any difference to real users".

Given that this is a technical term that has gained colloquial usage, not everyone who is identified as (or self identifies as) neurodivergent is actually neurologically divergent in a literal sense, but behaviorally is close enough to be a moot point in non-academic settings.

Unfortunately Firefox still has a lot of issues when it comes to font rendering on macOS. For example, it's been two years and it still renders San Francisco incorrectly: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1721612

Not to mention all fonts appearing bolder than they should compared to Chrome and Safari. It might seem like a small thing but I'm a stickler for typography and it really stands out on a Mac.

I hope they get around to fixing these issues but two years is a long time for such an obvious bug. What confuses me is how few people have noticed given that it seems to affect all Apple silicon devices.

> Immutable computing sounds frickin amazing!!! Being able to check your entire system configuration into Git, and effectively re-build your OS setup at any time, is really something I want to explore this year.

Yes, it really is amazing. My computer is amazing. I have been able to build intricate set ups that are immune to upgrades and such. I use a relatively complicated XMonad based set up right now, but because it's all in Nix, upgrades are a breeze. Yes, there is some trouble, but it's flagged before it happens or I can easily revert to the old system. This is the longest time I've gone without re-installing an OS (not that that would even be a big deal with Nix anyway, because a new install will be identical).

Religion seems like a needlessly incendiary example that is going to bring up some strong rhetoric.

But I mean I’m an atheist and I think religion is, on net, bad. But we’ve allowed a sort of less dangerous version of it to persist in most advanced countries, in the form of separation of church and state. If it was really just all bad, I suppose we’d ban it altogether.

I think people can generally see that there are some pros to things they don’t like. Not engaging with the aspects of something that are inconvenient to your case puts you in the realm of propaganda and rhetoric, not good faith discussion.
Ah. I’ve never seen a percentage-based commission divided unequally into the four parts: agent and brokerage crossed with listing and buying.

I have seen 6% (1.5% x 4) and 5% (1.25% x 4).
Of course "some people wanted the laws that were enacted", that's basically meaningless and not what OP said.
> I believe in most states a real estate agent (I despise 'Realtor(TM)') is obliged to present an offer

Sure. But enforcement is the soul of the law.

And it's pretty tough to catch stuff like that. Most people who put in offers and don't "win" aren't sitting around monitoring how much the winning bid ended up being.

> Data outlives code, and a valuable database supports many applications over time.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think having a central database that directly interfaces with multiple applications is an enormous source of technical debt and other risks, and unnecessary for most organizations. Read-only users are fine for exploratory/analytical stuff, but multiple independent writers/cooks is a recipe for disaster.

I prefer an architecture where the central "database" is a central, monolithic Django/Rails/NodeJS/Spring app that totally owns the actual database, and if someone needs access to the data, you whip up an HTTPS API for them.

Yes, it is a tiny bit of effort to "whip up an API" but it deals with so many of the footguns implied by this article. "I need X+Y tables formatted as Z JSON" is a 5 minute dev task in a modern framework.
In many states that just means the other agent gets all the commission instead of splitting it with your agent. You don't get any of it, and it isn't discounted anywhere.
No one says it exonerates it, but why do you think you or anyone can make an informed claim that remote workers are less productive in any or all cases?
Yes. C#/V4 functions. I've been working with the in-process model, but close to validating our app works on the isolated worker model too.
We are B2B at the scale of 1-10k users. There is no "heavy lifting" to do in our contexts of use. Serving static assets along with the SSR content is totally acceptable. They aren't even served as separate files. We inline everything into 1 final HTML payload always.

Our largest assets are SVG logos that our clients bring to the party. We do work with dynamic PDF documents, but these are uncachable for a number of reasons.

Hypothetically, if we had millions of users and static asset IO was actually causing trouble, we'd consider using a CDN or other relevant technology.
