Cross-checking the list with population density figures per state gives a very different outlook. I went through a very cursory look and skipping the "purple" states I got:

New Jersey is #1 after DC, Mississippi is #33.

New York is #8, South Dakota is #46.

Massachusetts is #3, Louisiana is #26.

Connecticut is #4, North Dakota is #47.

Illinois is #12, Arkansas is #35.

Only getting to New Mexico it breaks down since Alabama has a higher pop. density but Albuquerque has 2x the pop. of Huntsville and pretty much 3x the pop. density.

Experienced Frontend-specialized fullstack able engineer. I am product + user driven. I'm looking to solve real user problems with UI/UXs that make sense. I take on product management, and love to collaborate with product and design to make sure we're building something right. Sound like I might fit your team? Drop me a line. I'm actively looking.
FYI, it is kind of ridiculous that you support all these RDBMS but it doesn't mention anything other than DuckDB on the landing page. Your GitHub README is infinitely more useful. You should probably fix that, because the LP gives a very incorrect impression of the capabilities and features of your product!

Edit: just tried it on Windows and you have mojibaked text on the welcome dialog [0].

[0]: https://imgur.com/a/qeIdLGN

Edit 2: Unfortunately your product has some architectural/design issues. Way too much latency, UI hangs a lot simply following the action links in the welcome dialog, trying to open a 3 mib database hung the software until I killed it, etc. The interface is highly non-idiomatic and doesn't follow ui patterns common to any of the major desktops (in response to keyboard shortcuts, mouse operations, etc), and doesn't do a lot of what I would consider to be basic safety/sanity checks (i.e. tries to open a binary database as a text sql file, shows garbled unicode).
> Realpage should just be concerned with keeping their saas customers by making a good product

The coordination is the service. Realpage is literally offering CaaS (cartel as a service). The "market insight" would be nearly valueless without the guarantee that Realpage was signing contacts with your competitors that prevents them from undercutting your prices (and vice versa).
> Realpage should just be concerned with keeping their saas customers by making a good product.

That's not how late stage capitalism works. Quite often it's closer to winner take all.

Think about it this way, you need to buy a piece of management software that costs $1000 per month (or $10,000 whatever, just a healthy chunk of your revenue). They both do the job well enough so they aren't completing on capability. Now imagine one of them earns you 25% more by using it. Well, everyone that rents is going to be interested in that sales pitch. Capitalists like more money for the same expenses.
So there’s multiple writers to the file? How is this arbitrated?

Also how does either side know when the file has been updated?
Manorial and feudal societies were a much different paradigm. Everything was seen as the purview of the lord - you couldn't build a pond, barn, stable, etc unless it was in service of the manor. In this regard dovecotes are not particularly special.

While there may have been class restrictions in certain times and places, in all likelihood most lords probably sold pigeons at the market and commoners bought them that way.
> Isn't sending more than one photon always "repetition" in that sense?

Yes. But regardless of whether its feasible to send single quanta in any given circumstance, the redundant nature of the signals is key to understanding its much higher degree of robustness relative to quantum signals.

And to be clear, you can absolutely send a classical signal with individual quanta.

The difference between FDM and resin is quite substantial. Each style has applications which are easier, and come out better, compared to the other approach. Having one of each, I would never bother printing a replacement support bracket on resin, or printing a miniature model on FDM. With one of either, probably worth it.

The differences between hobby-grade and professional-grade printers are less obvious at this point, more about reliability and throughput than they are about fidelity at this point.

>US trucks are just a peculiar form of luxury car
No, not really. You can get one fully loaded, or get a bare bones work truck. Thing is there are no "luxury" makes for trucks, but more often there are trims of different models. A F-150 Raptor is certainly a luxury model for status signaling (or just to have the nicer thing for those who can afford it). The XL Model is far from a luxury vehicle.

In an ideal world, supply would rise because landlords would want to make more money in total.

So the question is why isn't supply rising? Is it because existing landlords aren't funding housing construction or the difficulty of entering the market?

Surely it cannot be that the supply of land is that limited. Or is it? Due to zoning regulations?

We recently scrapped our old Bootstrap-like framework too, and also opted out of using any type of UI widget tooling.

Everything can be done so much more easily today with vanilla CSS and JS that it's hard to justify the overhead despite knowing there'll be a certain amount of customization work required to implement a good UI.

Still using a CSS preprocessor though, like you, but soon that will probably be gone too.

Oh yeah. This is one of those situations that can go either way depending on what the law and precedent decide.

On the one hand: no, it's common sense that you can't just fly a plane over everyone's house and surveil them from above. That smells deeply of privacy violation.

On the other hand... Why not? The cops can drive down the street and look at the front of people's houses. The street is a public thoroughfare. The shared airspace is also a public thoroughfare. So the top of the house and exposed land is, maybe, just another side? Maybe if you don't want anybody seeing what you're doing you need a "top fence," i.e. more roofs? And if we declare "No, you really can't just look at people from above," that's gonna have serious consequences for how we make maps in this day and age.

So it's a meaty problem and I'm glad the EFF is dug into it.

Notes: I'm looking for somewhere to explore software architecture and dig into system-level problems; I'm working on building out my own extensible system for my open-source project Smolblog ( https://github.com/smolblog/smolblog ).

Inevitably you want to do something that the declarators in your language don't support. Like, in this space you might have a parametrization function for a model (like... "swiss cheese" maybe) which needs to decide on a number of CSG child nodes ("holes") that is randomly generated. Your DSL (OpenSCAD) can't do that because it has a fixed graph. So now you need to write python to generate your DSL code in two separate layers. It would be simpler to have just started with python to begin with.

This pattern repeats again and again[1] every time someone tries to push a DSL for complicated problems. DSLs are a great way to address the boilerplate and copying and tedium of working with bad frameworks in imperative languages. But they don't work once you really get rolling, and you end up in some kind of imperative hell anyway.

Declarative programming as an API design style is hugely valuable and great. Declarative programming languages as an implementation choice are IMHO a bad smell.

[1] If you think about it, this is really just another corrolary of Greenspun's Tenth Rule.

My grandparents had a two-story pigeonnier attached to their old house in the Charente countryside. It was quite dilapidated, but my grandfather still kept pigeons there up until he was no longer mobile in the early 1990s. He'd occasionally catch a couple for the family to eat for lunch. He took me up there a few times to watch him feed his flock, which I always thought was neat. (Less neat was when he served a pigeon with a hurt wing that my cousin and I were trying to nurse back to health!)

After he died the pigeons moved on. Eventually his children sold the place, but it took a long time to do that. I went up to the pigeonnier one final time before the place was sold: no one had been there in 15 years, the stairs were missing some rungs and I wondered if the rotten floor of the top floor would hold my weight. The only resident that remained was a lone bat who was probably surprised to see a human up there. Would have been nice if the next owners restored it, maybe even converted it into a living space. But it was likely slated to be demolished.

I've always liked pigeons.

Being a landlord is easy. Property management isn't easy. But it's not exactly hard either.
>Presumably they have dozens/hundreds of workers to manage those units?

Correct... which makes being a landlord exceptionally easy. All you have to do is have enough money. There is no cognitive or physical load that a landlord is required to carry, you simply open your checkbook.

I still find them helpful when the change is outside the cope of the current task. I especially like the ones that include both a reference to a Jira ticket (or similar), and an explanation of why, or any gotchas:

# TODO: (CAFE-1256) Refactor steamed-liquid stuff to support non-dairy options
# We don't currently support non-dairy coffee additives, but once we do
# we will need to ensure that the steamed-liquid transport
# also alerts when users have a dairy allergy.

This is a lot of stuff to add for some things, so we might not want it everywhere, but it helps explain to a reader why we don't currently have it built (product doesn't need X yet), but also has hooks to existing (planned/canceled) tickets and is easily greppable (e.g. "non-dairy" or ticket name).
> It is zero sum: there are finite goods and services in the world, and we're all competing for them.

Zero-sum (or fixed-sum, since zero-sum strictly means the aggregate quantity is not only fixed and finite but actually zero) doesn't just mean the total is finite (which is obviously correct), it means that output is fixed and the choices made only affect distribution, not the quantity of goods and services that are produced and made available. This is not the case.
21 is too many? Is it not relative to the market size and ownership of the "product"/"service" for the market? How many landlords are there and much of the market do they own?
> Landlords adopt RealPage recommendations on pricing 80-90% of the time, which explicitly drives up revenue by holding apartments off the market. As the architect of RealPage once explained, “[i]f you have idiots undervaluing, it costs the whole system.” It’s not just an information-sharing and price recommendation engine. RealPage has ‘pricing advisors’ that monitor landlords and encourage them to accept suggested pricing, it works to get employees at landlord companies fired who try to move rents lower, and it even threatens to drop clients who don’t accept its high price recommendations. This one’s a very clear conspiracy. Allegedly.

This raid is potentially glorious. Faith in the system tentatively renewed.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for not only certain parties going to prison, but also certain parties being forced to compensate for the huge harm to entire markets and the people in them that they knowingly caused.

(IIUC, if a lot of owners collude to manipulate prices, then the rest will also tend go up, because they notice the new "market" price, and they see their costs are going up. And then this has other economic effects, including payroll and retention for small businesses. And presumably also the various costs to society of health and happiness problems, since the economic stresses can be pretty bad for some.)

My first though was that there might have been some quality/power difference between regular lightning and Fake Lightning, but then it jumped to me that lightning is a digital signal, theorically there's no loss right?

C-suite execs deciding what to put in their products based on how they work and what they want instead of what people who use their products need.
Can individual photons be measured for polarization and phase or is there a similar limit that requires more than one photon to do so? I suppose both are relative to some previous polarization or phase?
I've had a few humble pie experiences:

When I was young I set myself on a path to become a professional string musician. I practiced relentlessly and sat section lead and first chair in about 4 different school and local orchestras. I was relatively well known as the studious musician kid and there were some hopes that I was "going to go all the way".

Then I had a rough tryout for a regional orchestra, made it, but sat second to last in the section. Sitting last place was another player from my school who was decidedly "middling" in his skills. I was absolutely shattered. But then came to realize most of the players ranked higher than me were objectively better. I also realized that there was physically no way that I could add more practice time and we didn't have the resources to hire better private coaches. I simply didn't have the talent to "go pro".

I realized then that my dreams were never going to happen and I ended up spending several years in limbo before ending up in technology.

I'm actually happy I didn't end up in music, because now I get to putz around and make a few songs a year as a fun and fulfilling hobby, instead of being decades in, making next to nothing and trying to fill in the gaps with second jobs and private lessons. I also went on a few short tours and really disliked playing the same music over and over again.

Tech has been more interesting and I've had opportunities to have very large impacts in a few places that have given me immense satisfaction instead.
> If a person alive now, today, in the present, is unhappy because they have a meager share of the world's wealth, would you expect them to become happy once you've explained to them that the world's wealth will be larger in the future, long after we're all dead?

I'd expect them to be happier when their material conditions are improved.

And how is that accomplished? Under a zero-sum mindset, this requires taking wealth from other people. So the answer is to raid and conquer neighboring countries and enslave their people. The pie is of a fixed size, so the only way to increase your lot is to reduce someone else's. This was true for much of human history, until the industrial revolution.

Fortunately, though, we live in the 21st century. We live in a time where material conditions are rising faster than at any point in human history. Much of this comes down to automation, and better energy capture. My responsibility is would be to invest in a more productive economy to raise living standards across the board. Make the pie bigger. This does not take a long time, world GDP per-capita more than doubled in the span on one lifetime: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Progress-of-the-human-sp...

Again, your statements are just factually wrong. Global average living standards have increased substantially, over the course of one person's lifetime. The growth is not "in the future, long after we're all dead". The average 70 year old has almost certainly seen drastic improvements over the span of their life.

I don't think anyone should be expected to intuitively understand engineering inventions. Double so, since they are covered with pretty plastic trim that hides the insides.

If you want to understand the transition between a fundamental theory and its effective description in some limiting regime, you need to be able to describe a system in the limiting regime using the fundamental theory. It's not "silly" to talk about an atom having a gravitational field even if it's unmeasurably small (currently).
It seems it’s due to the synthetic not being fully recognized for equivalency in the US pharmacopia per this article:

https://www.npr.org/2023/09/23/1200620535/vaccines-are-still....

“
The blue blood of the horseshoe crab clots when it comes into contact with bacterial toxins, which helps technicians identify contaminated products. A synthetic alternative to the blood-derived testing ingredient, called limulus amoebocyte lysate, or LAL, was invented decades ago. Alternatives have since become mainstream; most of the east coast bleeding companies now also sell tests made with a synthetic, not just LAL, and the European Pharmacopoeia considered the synthetic ingredient equivalent to the crab-derived one in 2020. But since scientists at the U. S. Pharmacopeia had not yet done the same, drug companies that wanted to use them faced extra regulatory hurdles in the U.S.”
