It isn't so much discouragement.

> It's wild that, not too long ago, you could afford a house and a car on a single income as a mailman.

You can do that today in some parts of the US.

Was there a time when you could do that in NYC? Or San Francisco? Maybe. When the city was down in the dumps and housing prices dropped. Or if you were willing to buy in crappy neighborhoods or on the edge of the city.

It makes me think of my great grandparents. They have a beautiful house in a central location in a major Canadian city worth North of $2.0M. And they did it on the single income of a teacher! I weep for those times.

But oh yeah, when they actually bought the house, it was on the edge of the city where nobody wanted to live. Oh and my grandfather picked up extra jobs to make sure his family of 5 had everything they needed.

There was never a time when it came easy. When people say they can't afford a home what they mean is "I can't afford a house in this specific city that checks all my boxes".
My first exposure to programming was GWBASIC on the 8086 PC clone of my uncle.
I was 12. My uncle lived over 500km away from my home.

I saw him once a year, when my family came together for xmas at his house.

In the 12 months in-between I wrote tons of BASIC code with pencil. And then typed it in at xmas. That lasted for two years, until I had saved enough pocket money to buy my first PC.

The experience was very similar. Stuff just ran & worked as expected.

If you write code by pencil you just think a lot more before putting anything down on paper. As any corrections are a nightmare -- except for the last line. You can't just insert a code block etc.

Ah, this is easy, the value of software is essentially 0.

Software may facilitate doing some other activity more efficiently but without that what would it actually be.

Remind me a lot of Cruithne[0] which IQ once incorrectly called the second moon of Earth. Like Zoozve it orbits the sun with the same period as a planet and in a way that's strongly influenced by that planet, but while Zoozve kind of orbits Venus as a result (but in an orbit that crosses the orbits of Mercury and Earth and clearly couldn't possibly be maintained by Venus' gravity itself), Cruithne does the opposite: it kind-of orbits a point on the other side of the sun from Earth. Whenever it gets close to the Earth, it turns around. It's playing cat and mouse with the Earth, slowly overtaking it in a lower orbit until it nearly overtakes Earth, then switches to a higher, slower orbit and falls behind until the Earth nearly overtakes it, at which points it moves to a lower, faster orbit again.

From the Earth's perspective, it follows a horseshoe shape around the sun, with the Earth in the gap of the horseshoe. It's definitely not a moon, but I wonder if it could be considered a pseudo-satelite like Zoozve. They feel similar to me, though in an opposite way.

Edit: according to the Wikipedia link below, it does not follow a horseshoe shape like I originally learned, but more of a kind of bean shape that's varying between just in front of the Earth to half an orbit ahead of the Earth. Not sure where I got the horseshoe description.

What's scary is that at time scales of one generation or longer societies seem to forget even very important things. How pandemic looks like. That war and militarization is not such a good idea.
The basic cohort component model has been well known for at least 100 years. Changes to the behavior of cohorts is hard to predict over generations, but usually somewhat mean reverting despite the exponential nature of the process. Predicting a future population of 400m is every bit as unrealistic as 4b.

Looks like I've got BSD SSH installed. From `man ssh`:

-o option
Can be used to give options in the format used in the configura‐
tion file. This is useful for specifying options for which there
is no separate command-line flag. For full details of the op‐
tions listed below, and their possible values, see ssh_config(5).

`Port` is on the list underneath. So I think the idea is you run

ssh -o <option_name> <option_value>

where the first can be `--port`. This looks like it will be really handy for me for the exact reason GP said.

> What am I missing?

I'm a bit confused about the accounting details as well, but I think the key bit is that a scrapped movie becomes an immediate tax write-off, whereas a released move must depreciate its costs over time.

By writing the movie off entirely, Warner Brothers foregoes the marginal profit from releasing the movie (income less distribution costs, considering the movie itself to be a sunk cost), but in return it can claim the tax benefits now rather than over time. At some implied internal interest rate (where a dollar today is worth more than a dollar next year), that makes sense.

Unless there's some detail that I've missed in the above, Warner Brothers seems very desperate to bolster its current accounting profits at the expense of longer-term financial health.

> I’m no lawyer, but I bet it would at least require a permit

In May last year, SCOTUS significantly narrowed the definition of “waters of the United States” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackett_v._Environmental_Pro... - so some of these cases which would have required a federal permit (EPA or Army Corps of Engineers) may no longer require one.

Whether a state/county/municipal permit is required is a completely separate question - it is a matter of state and local law, which varies from state to state and locality to locality

Interestingly, this is what turned me into an atheist at a rather young age. A friend invited me to a childrens' religious/social group wherein they explained that most science is actually incorrect; the earth is only 6000 years old, evolution is a lie created by the evil Darwin... that sort of thing. In my head, their version of Christianity fell apart and the rest quickly followed.

I don't know exactly how is it on the US (also, AFAIK there's a huge variance of income and housing pricing all around the country), but here on Spain housing is getting worse and worse and worse.

2011 to 2020 ownership rate has fell from 82,6 to 73,9% in the general population, and from 69,3 to 36,1% in under 35yo. Also people is expending more than 40% of their salary to rent [0]

And those are numbers from 2020 (ownership) and 2022 (rental), but I guess that today, specially on big cities, that's way, way worse. I just checked my neighborhood prices (in Madrid) and, since late 2021 when I rented my current apartment, prices have raised +30%, and lots of posting are now for "temporary rentals" of less than one year. That's a model thought for touristic apartments that offer way less protection to the tenant (they can raise prices at will), less stability (they can kick you out no notice) and allows landlords to avoid housing rental laws (for repair, maintenance, etc.).

So it used to be "AirBnBs around me raise housing prices", and now it's "You can only rent AirBnBs".

GG*GGP "someone in our org will ostensibly have a good reason for setting up an event in Google Analytics"

In this case they already have Google Analytics. The question is whether it was worth exporting that data to BigQuery.

A common and understandable misconception.

It's the machines that actually pay for most things we enjoy today.

The keyboard you're typing your responses on, display you're reading this message from and virtually everything else in our silicon worlds* were not touched by human hands during production.
Money is just an accounting method to allocate the production output.

Interestingly even the keyboards don't need that much of a human touch to type these days.

* other notable examples are almost 100% of the energy we use (electricity, hydrocarbons), majority of the global human caloric intake (grains, fats, sugars, potatoes, etc.), most raw materials (metals, fibers, hydrocarbons again, etc.), tools

"Well, those other companies paid taxes as well."

This is a bad assumption.

Those other companies are often either incorporated in tax havens, or they have a ton of companies with various forms of tax breaks/incentives.

So where I live, for example, they get transferrable Georgia tax credits during the making of the film. Doesn't matter if you lose money, go bankrupt, etc.
It's based on expenses.

Because they are transferrable, they sell the tax credits (They sell for 80-90 cents on the dollar, so buying them lowers the cost of paying your taxes).

So to your middle point, they can in fact, pay no taxes but end up with plenty of tax credits to sell.

Before you ask, earning state tax credits is not federally taxable - it is treated as a reduction in your state tax liability, not as income to the companies that earn them.

(It's a bit more complex than that, but ...)

The turbine (propeller) at the back of the kite rotates and generates electricity.

Since this can 'fly' at an angle to the current, the speed of the 'kite' moving through the water, will be faster than the movement of the water - therefore the turbine can be spun faster than if it were just anchored in one spot.
There‘s no implicit type conversion here. As long as all the vars are the same type it works (albeit unpredictable if you don‘t know operator precedence for the lang).
The drawback of the microscopic function craze is you lose the ability to read a whole procedure from top to bottom. If some code is truly reused, break it out into a function with a good name, sure.

But in my domain I have seen countless one-line functions used in one place each, and it’s frustrating having to jump around the code (and add to my mental context stack*) rather than just putting some curly braces and a comment. Functions aren’t primarily meant as a hygiene mechanism. I really like the curly brace scoping in Rust.

I found my style partly by reading John Carmack and Casey Muratori’s coding philosophies and putting them to the test for myself.

Alternatively, perhaps what you're observing is simply the graphical representation of the underlying mathematical precedence rules. (Obviously, over hundreds of years of symbolic math, the notation and precedence has co-evolved, with precedence probably generally, well, preceding notation.)

y = x / 3 + 2

y = 2 + x / 3

y = x/3 + 2

We all agree those are the same, despite a lack of an any cues in the first two. That suggests to me that there is a defined precedence for division vs addition in math. (So much so that it doesn't even seem like a controversial statement to make.)
By that reasoning, you want to force businesses to do something with their own property that they decide is against their interests?
