I just watched the 2005 Jim Carrey movie Fun with Dick and Jane, about a nuclear family whose father loses his job, pension, and house working at a place like Enron or WorldCom while a CEO resembling Ken Lay played by Alec Baldwin steals the whole pension fund.

Watching it yesterday was a shocker though -- I had forgotten (having been so young) that the 2008 financial crisis had roots so much earlier.

But then I reminisced a little more: this was based on what I recall actually going on at the time. I was a kid at the time, who got his first minimum wage high school job working side by side with a lady who was there because her husband had his pension stolen at WorldCom.

A certain class of elites really got away with a lot then, and were never held to account. Instead, their elite grifting culture just spread wider and wider. We tried in 2011. If you were alive then, you know how big Occupy Wall Street was getting. You remember how big Bernie was.

But they figured out how to use social media to divide us and redirect our anger into right vs left politics instead of ultrarich crooks vs everybody else working hard. Even I had been starting to forget until Jim Carrey shook me out of my millenial reverie.

The youngest kids if they have any political consciousness now it's solely channeled safely into the left vs right pattern, unable to effect meaningful change to the robber baron economy. Smartphones and recommendation algorithms truly were a powerful technology that generated great value after all-- for just a very small elite that can use it to hold off any accountability for their monstrous crimes.

Agreed, we should push back when companies try to water down the meaning of open source.

I've been tracking a related problem, the re-licensing of open source software, which is a whole other layer to worry about. Projects like TensorFlow[1] show warning signs that the owner could rug-pull the community and switch to closed source. Google has too much centralized control over the copyright of the source code.

When traveling to other countries, and sometimes even just to other major cities, I always enjoyed seeing the different billboards. Often they would be for local businesses that I wouldn't otherwise know about, and they also convey some of the local culture. I enjoy seeing the creative typography to style a foreign language, the appeals to this or that "ideal", the quirky attempts at humor. It always seemed to me to be part of the antidote to the "this city looks like all the other cities" trend of cultural homogenization that seems to be eating the world. Sure, there are also the ubiquitous global or luxury brand ones, but you take the good with the bad like everything else, and even these will often have a different twist based on the country you're in.
> On the other hand, Nixpkgs (which NixOS is built on top of) doesn’t really follow a discipline of minimizing package sizes to the extent that, say, Alpine does. You fairly often find documentation and development components living together with the runtime ones, especially for less popular software. (The watchword here is “closure size”, as in the size of a package and all of its transitive runtime dependencies.)

Yep. I remember before Nix even had multi-output derivations! I once broke some packages trying to reduce closure sizes when that feature got added, too. :(

Besides continuing to split off more dev and doc outputs, it'd be cool if somehow Nixpkgs had a `pkgsForAnts` just like it has a `pkgsStatic`, where packages just disable more features and integrations. On the other hand, by the time you're really optimizing your Nix container builds it's probably well worth it to use overrides and build from source anyway, binary cache be damned.

This is inaccurate. I am in the industry. Appraisals are 100% based on face rates rather than NER and it is common to “buy up” the face rate by offering higher tenant inducements (cash) and free rent. It makes sense too from the bank’s perspective because the loan will be serviced over the life of the loan by the face rate, not the NER. So if the landowner pays up front to have higher cash flows in later years, the bank is fine with that.

There's a large mortgage company in my area that spent heavily on building a large campus full of amenities right before the pandemic hit. They seem to be having difficulty in filling IT positions as they always have openings posted. The relevant part is that the job postings lean heavily on the value of their campus and its amenities. Perhaps these are ghost jobs or they have high turnover. Either way, they really emphasize the value of their campus. Whoever was behind the initiative to move out of their generic suburban office buildings into a custom built campus is probably sweating bullets now.
Yes, though the SDK is open-source, you need an API Key for authentication
I had a really bad experience with crunchlabs. They silently renew your subscription without any warning, which is really bad form in 2024, and they didn’t have an option for cancelling online, forcing you to call a call center which took over an hour just to get someone on the phone and then they had the gall to try high pressure tactics to get me to not cancel. Left a really bad taste in my mouth.
I think we associate learning/discovery with those moments because they happen together, not because they're causally related.

I think this is somewhat equivalent to how we used to have to learn 100 different integrals and derivatives in calculus. That's somewhat helpful. I learned to see patterns in math like that, the same way I learned a decent bit by browsing irrelevant abstracts and follow citation trails. But physically memorizing 100s of integrals is mostly a waste, and so are the irrelevant abstracts. You'll be much better at math (and hopefully science) if you can learn ~10 key integrals or read ~10 abstracts, and then spend the rest of your time understanding the high level patterns and implications by talking with an expert. Just like I can now ask GPT-4 to explain why some integral formula is true, which ones are related, and so on.

And that's the last point - these literature search tools aren't developing in isolation. We will get to have a local "expert" to discuss what we find with. That changes the cost-benefit analysis too.

I have a basic question, because I don’t know much about real estate. If we have a brewing commercial real estate crisis, and we have a long-standing housing crisis, why isn’t one the solution for the other? Can’t some real estate developer buy an office building on the cheap and convert it into housing and make a profit? I imagine that local zoning and building codes may not allow for that, but it seems like there’s enough urgency in this issue to resolve those.

I was in a similar situation fresh out of college. I’ve been hacking code since the third grade but somehow I found myself working for a dev shop in the Midwest full of non hackers making BS software. I remember burning with the feeling of “this can’t be it”. So I basically set a rule for myself that every weeknight I would take my laptop to a coffee shop and hack on whatever got me excited. Over the span of a year I wrote a chess engine in python and learned web dev via Django. The next year I moved to the Bay Area and doubled my salary by joining a startup and worked with some of the most curious and intelligent people I had ever met.

Something that might help is to cultivate a list of developers who you respect and make sure to follow what they do. (Eg. I personally recommend following Theo or Primagen on social media) this helps alot with not feeling alone and with keeping your sights and standards high. You have to learn to not see what’s around you as the norm.

Above all, make curiosity the foundation of your coding routine and your career. I know that sounds cliche but if you can tap into the joyful energy of curiosity then you will have superpowers and will have meaning in your life even if you’re broke and alone.

I think the real answer is adding actually sound types to JS itself.

One of the biggest revolutions in JS JITS was the inline cache (IC). It allows fast lookup and specialized functions (which would be too expensive otherwise). These in turn allow all the optimizations of the higher-tier JITs.

The biggest problem of Flow and TS is encouraging you to make slow code. The second you add a generic to your function, you are undoubtedly agreeing that it is going to be accepting more than 4 types. This means your function is megamorphic. No more IC. No more optimization (even worse, if it takes some time to hit those 5+ types, you get the dreaded deoptimization). In theory, they could detect that your function has 80 possible variations and create specialized, monomorphic functions for each one, but that's way too much code to send over the wire. That kind of specialization MUST be done in the JIT.

If you bake the types into the language via a `"use type"` directive, this give a LOT of potential. First, you can add an actually sound type system. Second, like `"use strict"` eliminated a lot of the really bad parts of JS, you can eliminate unwanted type coercion and prevent the really dynamic things that prevent optimization. Because the JIT can use these types, it can eliminate the need for IC altogether in typed functions. It can still detect the most-used type variants of a function and make specialized versions then use the types to directly link those call sites to the fast version for even more optimization.

I use TS because of its ubiquity, but I think there's the possibility for a future where a system a little more like Flow gets baked into the language.
No, no, no. This is conservation of angular momentum. Completely different.

This is definitely happening (see Calgary as a great example, converting 17-18 buildings from office to residential). Not all buildings can efficiently be converted (floor plate shape/size, etc), and some municipalities are slow to update zoning.

This may work in some situations, but unfortunately commercial building are typically very expensive to convert to residential. Think of an office tower with centralized plumbing and HVAC, with an open floor and no real interior walls. You've got to run plumbing and HVAC everywhere, add real(ish) walls, and depending on the size of the floor plate, there may not even be a good way to get light to the right places.
