How about building places? My grandfather built his own house. The Zoning system restricts where and how houses can be built. Open up more land and incentivize people to build - maybe eliminate capital gains on first home construction for first time home buyers. You would have a lot more people who gain experience building homes and thus a lot more home building happening as they may continue after the first one.
That’s fair I think that might have happened in this case.
Yup.

So are you signing up to go bankrupt first?
Once people get a new hammer, they see nails everywhere. The effect worns off eventually, unless all you have left is the hammer.
Why is it that any time someone posits that a problem exists, you straw man that they’re proposing the most extreme solution?

Someone says Russia is a problem? They must mean we should annex it! Someone says landlords are a problem? They must mean we should abolish private ownership and institute communism!

And of course the ultimate irony, you accuse everyone else of politicizing things.

This isn’t a healthy approach to discourse. I hope you can understand that. Please aim higher.
> feel immoral

> any company spouting DEI and still supporting networking is hypocritical

Not to take anything away from your personal situation, but this is a self-defeating mindset to have.

People, i.e. social humans in companies, are WIRED to seek out known quantities.

Networking and having someone vouch for you is not some scheme to subvert some utopian idea of meritocracy, but really an evolutionary social dynamic response.

We pick people like us, we pick people we like, we pick people who can improve the group, we pick people who can do things for the group. (having your own strong network is also something you can bring to the group in the form of more referrals, and potentially new clients etc.) Which is also why alumni networks are a thing.

There's no trick, and networking doesn't need to be sleazy, and it isn't immoral. Be likable, reach out to people, ask them for help, offer to help them.

Ironically, and arguably, the biggest threat to this is LinkedIn which lets people build a huge network that is only puddle deep.

Those 1000 connections on linkedin are worth less than 5 deep connections you've had coffee chats or lunch with in your same city and same industry.

Wind ?
It doesn’t have to match inflation, and there is a little circularity here, since (residential) rent is factored into inflation. I don’t have any insight into commercial rents, but my experiences in residential renting in the 2000s and 2010s would indicate no, yearly rent increases are not expected. They happened from time to time, but far from yearly. Maybe Twice in 10 years? And rents have gone down when the housing market drops, though you might have to move. I’m not sure this really means anything though. It’s more like, how often do you want to evaluate the market. It’s made easier by (possibly cartel creating) software that automates the process now though, so things could be different. But the survey question does seem like it doesn’t mean that much on its own to me as well.
Another reason I might bring up the US is because in certain contexts especially concerning geopolitics, references to Russia as “the bad guy” is used to justify all kinds of things. The same way Communism (I.e the USSR) was used as a boogeyman to justify US behavior in Vietnam (bombing civilians). Does that mean that I don’t support the US over Russia? Of course I do. I’m a citizen of the US. But I don’t like language like “the real bad guy”. It’s not whataboutism in that context.
This is the other thing with HxD and I think it's very important for a hex editor, it handles huge amounts of data in the correct way. HxD can open entire block devices, or per-process/whole system RAM, and it all works without bogging down.

I've tried a lot of lesser hex editors that get cooked the moment you try to open a 4GB file. I don't know if the field I'm in skews this, but most of the time if I'm looking at a file in a hex editor, it's relatively large and I need to find a tiny amount of information in it.
> You're making the standard error of the medical world of focusing too much on stuffing pigeons into pigeonholes because once you have found the supposedly correct (look at the patients who go to doctor after doctor after doctor until someone finally finds the rare issue that's the correct diagnosis--and realize that there are those who never get answers) pigeonhole you see the pigeonhole rather than the patien

This is another common misunderstanding of why people so commonly struggle to get a convincing diagnosis. The problem isn't a clueless doctor robotically listening for keywords. It's that the doctor has 10 minutes to dedicate to you and if it's not in the 80% of straightforward cases for them, the patient gets the bare minimum and then becomes someone else's problem. To solve that you need to fix provider shortages and (in the US) remove the corporate overlords constantly applying pressure on the little worker bees beneath them.

> out doesn't mean you can't look at the patients and see how things are turning out. And recognize that things are not static--your first patient doesn't exist. Things don't just sit there at three for three years and then kill you.

It's becoming clear to me you have a really odd sense of what doctors generally know and don't know. I don't really have an interest in exploring the left side of the Dunning kruger curve with respect to how medicine works.

Lots of people can't change a light bulb much less build a home. Most of the cost of building one is labor - the underlying materials are actually pretty cheap. I've seen home kits for as low as $8k that includes the lumber, trusses, cabinets, siding, etc.
I think the situation you allude is something like the "buying without caring whether you are a landlord" problem. A combination of speculation and the US printing money to backstop property values results in a situation where large and small investors buy property primarily for the appreciation and, sure, they'd like to get rental income but getting rental income is a high priority so they're OK pricing tenants out of the market and behaviors that result in empty buildings that still increase in value.
That was unnecessarily mean. What did you mean?
It means that you can choose constants such that the algorithm is as close to O(m) as you'd like.

In other words, it's an algorithm scheme that allows you to get an algorithm running in time O(m^ɛ) for any ɛ>1.

> spouting DEI and still supporting networking is hypocritical

Networking is simply about building relationships with people.

This is a skill you will need in order to make it through the interview process and make yourself likeable to the hiring manager and the team. To conflate it with DEI which is all about inclusion is pretty low.
Gemma 2 Trained on LMSYS?
I thought it was notable that he was directly asked about the surveillance aspect of all of this and he did not seem to respond to that subject.
Intuitively, it seems rare for any rent-seeking business (such as a landlord) to decrease prices, especially for an active tenancy. But even for a vacancy, they will only do that when they are absolutely forced to, and they will delay it for as long as possible (better to wait two months to fill a $1k/month vacancy than to reduce it to $800/month).

On the other hand, they will happily increase prices without being forced to, especially since they can do that while they have an active tenant.

Why would a landlord ever decrease the price of an active tenancy? It would only happen if the tenant threatened to end the tenancy. That’s more likely for commercial tenants than residential, but it still requires a higher “activation energy” than its corollary, where the landlord increases the price on a whim.
That's a logical fallacy.

When people discuss "networking" what do they mean?

Posting on linkedin?

Going to events?
People on IG and TikTok are creating shows of their every day life. While they may want to be stars, those around them brought in to create the clip, surprised / accosted into reacting at home or on the streets, etc., are exactly like Truman from the movie.
I think my HID deevice must have bad debouncing.
P.S.: A closely-related rant over another situation involving market-access and devil-in-the-details: Various attempts to "privatize social security" often with the pitch of "giving individuals more control."

In this case I'm not focused on whether individuals can act wisely, but rather that such plans often means replacing an insurance policy with an investment account. Those two kinds of financial instruments have extremely different features, benefits, and risks!

So even if believe that's a great idea, be be suspicious of anybody who seems to be trying to hide that aspect of their plan from the public, since it means they're trying to get voters to make an uninformed choice.
Monads are not hard though. You use them every time you put a ? on something in Rust.
Maybe communism, or something, is the way to go. The economy is the lifeblood of our society. Surely we don't want its form to be dictated by something as whimsical as a marketplace.
Yeah, nobody is seriously suggesting to do that. It was an example for the sake of argument.
A lot of companies were betting billions on exponential growth, or at least hoping that 2024 wouldn't be when AI performance starts to converge. Language models are still glorified chatbot that can't be taken seriously, and are more of a liability than anything useful. Remember Air Canada being on the hook for the incorrect information its chatbot gave? They tried to contest it, lost, and removed the bot from their site.
> building relationships with people

I was told r.e. networking this is basically doing things for people and not expecting anything in return? Have done this often ( e.g. writing/reviewing resumes, finding job posts, sharing mutual connections who are hiring) and have received nothing in return. Not sure if I'm missing anything

When are we going to address the government overregulation problem?

> Utilizing places as assets is so incredibly damaging to our society.

That only happens because the govt. in cahoots with NIMBYies restricts new development while we have a rising population.

This is simple math and economics.
"We pick people like us, we pick people we like,"

This is exactly the type of bias that marginalizes people like me.

"There's no trick, and networking doesn't need to be sleazy, and it isn't immoral."

It doesn't need to be, but it overwhelmingly ends up that way. It often completely cuts out anyone from the outgroup or unknown, even if they are deserving candidates. It leads to wasted effort from candidates when the person being picked is essentially a forgone conclusion. I've had friends offer to open a posting for me for a promotion in the company. These sort of backroom deals are wrong.

"but really an evolutionary social dynamic response."

Just because something is evolutionary doesn't make it right. Insider trading is essentially the same thing, but for securities, yet that's illegal.
> Surely we don't want its form to be dictated by something as whimsical as a marketplace

Yep, much better to be dictated by something less whimsical, e.g., a party committee. /s

What the hell did I just read?
Pfft everyone knows it's a cube.
Opposite-sex couples in Sweden, and more broadly across the world, tend to fall into a manager-helper dynamics, in which the mother takes on the full administrative and mental workload and only delegates specific tasks for the father to fulfil. This is a dynamic that over time seems inevitable and impossible to break.

In most couples I am personally aware of, both now and in the past, most males DO NOT want this. Early in marriage females tend to want this, especially if the given female is not heavily invested in a career. It seems to be both empowering and task sharing so that the male can focus on bread winning, but it’s a control play, a game of personalities and power distribution. This becomes clear later in marriage as both financial responsibilities and children mature and may be a primary factor in relationship resentment.
I wish we had a richer language to discuss these issues. 'Equality' defined as having near equal tasks is not necessarily something that everyone thinks is an unalloyed good, whereas equality defined as having equal value as human being is. We conflate these two issues.

There are people who would prefer specialization in their household roles. Traditionally this was along gender lines, but it doesn't have to be (e.g., both parents are women, one prefers more traditional mothering roles, the other more traditionally masculine roles). If there is good complementarity and both roles are treated with equal dignity, this doesn't seem bad to me, anymore than specialization that exists throughout our society.

I wonder how much divorce rates and adherence to traditional roles are correlated as well, which seems like an obvious confounding factor.

Anyway, yes I'm sure if you have divorces where each now separate household has equal responsibility and time to provide care giving to children, you're going to get more equal time and effort put into providing care giving to children.
You keep going on about them not inventing the term, as though that matters.

They din't invent it, they proposed a formal definition, and other people agreed, and have been using the term to mean that meaning for decades by now.

You can't change the meaning to suit yourself at this point after other people have already used it. That would be changing other people's words. You can't very well accuse OSI or anyone else of the crime of presumtion while being willing to do that.

"did not invent the term" is just a totally pointless and silly thing to even think about or say. It's as silly as saying that Websters didn't invent the words they write down definitions for.
When you say "disability", what do you mean exactly? Is it a specific disease, or do you just mean "I find networking difficult, and it feels immoral"?
"and make yourself likeable"

"To conflate it with DEI which is all about inclusion is pretty low."

The need to make yourself likeable disadvantages groups that may not be similar to the hiring manager. It definitely provides bias against nuerodivergent people. So no, I'm not conflating DEI and networking. There is an easily identifiable link between the bias inherent in networking and it's impact on DEI.
I became a climate tech investor. It took 8 years, two kids, a strategic tech job, and a migration out of the SF Bay to get to a good spot- and I still have more to do to fully transition. In particular, income I receive from software work is still important to me. The good news is that software is fun again (or at least palletable) when it’s not my core job.
Sure, if you're doing a TCO analysis you figure out a deprecation schedule for your physical plant and your OpEx for the day to day operations. Of course the CapEx for "one" versus the CapEx per instance for "one thousand" will be quite different. Also how much site prep is needed, how much can be built offsite in a factory setting Etc. So a full economic analysis would incorporate all of that. Then price that against the price of fuel with the carbon and environmental externalities priced in, sure. That would give you a solid set of reasoning to say whether these systems are worse, similar to, or better than existing systems.

If you wait for all of that to be in place (versus risking capital today that might have been used for other things) then you risk dying from those aforementioned externalities of 'business as usual' (aka the do nothing hypothesis).

John was, in my reading, defining "efficiency" to be turning the solar power available as electricity in the surface area of the plant into liquid fuel. And my response to that is always that the solar energy was going to hit that patch of ground anyway, and if you don't have the infrastructure to move it to where it is needed "right now" or store it, then its wasted. California is, today, having days where Solar and/or Wind generation is discarded because there are no customers demanding it. At some point (hopefully soon) we'll get better at dealing with this situation, and converting that "extra" power into syngas is a good use for it.

I mean, I appreciate that you comment from your own perspective as a US citizen, but I think it's just jarring because

1) even the article didn't mention it, so it feels like a forced comment to say "well, there are only shades of grey".

2) folks who aren't US citizens don't vibe with your perspective the same way. As a Pole I see Russians as unequivcally "the bad guys" because they have done the exact same kind of thing to our country to Polish people in the past. The tales of Polish prisoners in Russian work camps are numerous and pretty much the same as this article describes.
One issue that always burned me with Fedora is a little configuration file. Wacom tablet support is basically gimped due to it. Everytime I use it I have to fix that, and no, it's not the wayland issue but one due to poor scroll handling. It's hard to find the fix and I tried looking into it right now. Last time I tried it was on Fedora 39, it has been there since 34. Maybe not in 40 though.

I've tried plenty of distros, and sure some of it is personal preference. But still, I have often seen little issues like these be quite difficult to find solutions for. And many distros still ship insane defaults in some more niche circumstances that aren't properly tested. And many a times, those make up preferences in peoples' minds. And, arguably, they are objective reasons for doing so.

Be it due to sharing many common parts with its enterprise solution, or simply because a particular guy didn't bork my drawing tablet with some config meant to circumvent GTK scroll behaviour, or because they have a platform that you can use to build and distribute packages for theirs and other(!!!) package managers (so they have good experience automating these kinds of processes)... I don't know the reason, but I've had a better time with this distribution. I just wanted to share that it is a good one.
I'm nuerodivergent. Being likeable and similar to hiring managers is not something that most nuerodivergent people are able to do at the same level as most "normal" people.

It’s funny, this comment went in a totally different direction from what I expected based on the start.

When you wrote ‘don’t take things personally at work’, I was expecting you to say things things about various kinds of humility – trying to make requested changes in code review instead of pushing back, not feeling wronged if someone rewrites something you wrote, etc – and seeing the bigger picture – the code exists to serve business purposes and sometimes priorities there don’t align with your more narrowly focused desires for the direction the code should be changed in.

I would say that the rest of you comment gives examples of taking things quite personally – feeling such strong ownership over the code that you’ll quit when you can’t control it as well as you’d like. To be clear, I’m arguing that the beginning does not match the rest of the comment, but not really about the overall message, which to me feels to be more something like ‘you are not required to be loyal’ than ‘don’t take it personally’.

I was a bit surprised how much he emphasized how open the protocol was. I remember seeing you could mail in a form asking for the code. Part of the form asked why you wanted it, for which I said I wanted to learn the protocol used so I could write a server. The response I got back was that they couldn't release the code to an individual, only organizations. There may have been other sources for information on the protocol, but they didn't bother telling me if there was.
