So I’m still left curious which debuggers are much better than VS?

What do you mean about so slow there are semantic implications? How does execution speed change meaning? Can you give an example? And are you talking about VS specifically, or just debugging in general? Gdb can be extremely slow when debugging too, and besides that, simply turning on symbols and turning off optimizations can be a major reason for slowdowns.

For the connection issues, I rarely if ever see that with VS. Usually I’m launching my executable from the debugger. I’m not generally doing remote debugging, or attach-to-process debugging — is that what you’re talking about? Certainly all debuggers have those kinds of issues with remote debugging or attaching to processes. Are these issues better in some other debugger you use? If so, I’m certainly curious to hear about it, I would love to learn & use something that’s superior.
Sorry, I was not clear.

It's not just "developed" country problem any more. It is also happening in developing countries, like India and Vietnam for example. In India, real estate prices have sky rocketed over the past 30+ years. Part of this is because of the rise of property development firms. Government encouragement too has played a role, I think, because construction (and the construction industry) does create a lot of jobs. Real estate is also a vehicle to hide black money, and that's another factor here in India.

(I wanted to strangle Trump when he once commented that real estate in India and other parts of Asia, are still "undervalued"!)
Well some of us buy exactly what we planned to buy, only at cheaper prices, and after verifying with price comparison sites.

sorry what do you mean by saying "Desirability has changed. For example, the number of sports teams have tripled since 1950." ? I am like not American and I do not get how that is related to housing
Thanks. I don't think this resolves the problem though, since whether or not the practical consequences of a belief are considered desirable will depend on one's philosophy, ie what one considers to be true.

ISTM that perception of reality -- what one considers to be true -- will always determine belief about goodness/desirability. James, if I understand correctly, seems to get it in reverse: let your desire determine 'your' truth, ie your perception of reality.
TLDR; it's the density death spiral.

The most expensive part of a house is the land it stands on (which also determines the building codes and the local labor price).
> The solution is to just not be too anal about it. It really is a cultural problem

"Any proposal that requires everyone to just is not a solution, because everyone will not just"

People are anal. You aren't going to get them to stop being anal

A real solution is to have the team agree on a shared style guide, then enforce it with a linter and formatter. If anyone cannot come to an agreement with the rest of the team, or continues to be anal about things that do not appear in the style guide after this, then that person has singled themselves out and the company will need to find a way to deal with the behavior

I agree that good engineers focus more on the actual structure and problems instead of nitpicky things like formatting

That said, code cleanliness and consistency is important too. It makes codebases much easier to maintain and understand if everything is formatter consistently. It's a pretty mid engineer take to think it's not important at all
Data safety is a not a binary thing (essential = okay to keep, non-essential = not okay). Instead , it is a context-sensitive, layered, multi-axis concern. IP addresses, for instance, are PII that are essential for network routing, but that doesn't mean address+based ad retargeting is fair game.

Accidentally logging data that's essential but was supposed to be ephemeral would turn it "not-ephemeral" and make it possible to cross-reference with other information in privacy-defeating ways. As I said, it was a privacy-focused product, and using data that is meant for one thing (e.g. abuse detection and prevention) for some other out-of-spec use - even accidentally - is a big no-no.
> Personally I don't think it would have been a good idea to let the value of the USD run free. If Milei and co. had done that from day one everyone would have rushed to buy dollars.

You are, of course, free to express your opinion. However, the issue I see with your argument is that if a libertarian, pro-Austrian economics government decides to control the USD/ARS exchange rate, it contradicts the principles on which they were elected. This is not what the people voted for.

You are not meaningfully sacrificing throughput because the timeout only occurs when you are not writing enough data; you have no throughput to sacrifice. The threshold and timeout should be chosen such that high throughput cases hit the threshold, not the timeout. The timeout exists to bound the worst-case latency of low access throughput.

You only lose throughput in proportion to the handling cost of a single potentially spurious timeout/timeout clear per timeout duration. You should then tune your buffering and threshold to cap that at a acceptable overhead.

You should only really have a problem if you want both high throughput and low latency at which point general solutions are probably not not fit for your use case, but you should remain aware of the general principle.

True, although if you're in the EU, there should be a 30 days reference period.

"In all EU countries traders are obliged, when offering a discount, to indicate the lowest price applied to the item at least 30 days before the announcement of the price reduction."

Of course, enforcement of such rules is the problem here. But if you notice such discrepancies, you are more than encouraged to file a complaint to the shop and then to your national agency responsible for the protection of consumers if the seller doesn't act in good faith. I was fairly surprised to see how well the latter has worked against a large company in my Balkan country.

In a lot of states there was a more than 3x increase in price which I think is hard to justify as a difference in stock. Median square footage for homes now is only 1835 square feet (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEDSQUFEEUS). There are also a lot of arguments like how quality has gone up but building technology has vastly improved. Either way that the price increase is mostly a function of housing quality doesn't seem convincing to me (I've seen really garbage houses go for crazy amounts recently).

One example is my grandparents' home was built in the 1930s. It's a small home but in a good location and they said when they were younger it was worth ~200,000$ (I don't know the exact decade they were talking about here but from context it was somewhere in the 50s to 70s). The literal exact same house is now worth around 3,000,000$. The house now needs a lot of work (it actually decreases the value of the land) but the price is still 15x higher.
Not only an increase in square feet, but an even bigger increase in square feet per person.

It makes zero sense when you consider that the stock market is how most people save for retirement.

What you're saying is people aren't allowed to save for retirement, and you have to tax them every step of the way, destroying that savings because they might be well off due to owning stocks. That's not reasonable.

Not to detract from the joke, but The Haskell Way is that state should be restricted and made explicit, not destroyed.

Milei's discourse is about destroying the State. Even though the Argentinian institutions have been stable enough to stop him and force him into the "restrict and make explicit" mode instead.
The socket API was designed to be a low-level API. If you're writing applications, you probably want to use libcurl/WinInet or some other abstraction over all of the low-level stuff. Using raw connect() calls is like writing your own XML parser when myriad of existing solutions are free and ready to use.

Your example would fit perfectly in a libinet library, but I doubt the C standard library is going to include improvements upon this. If you want good internet support, pick a library or, better yet, another language because plain C is terrible for managing arbitrary network inputs anyway.

There is also some stuff your code doesn't handle (do you retry when a connection fails but an SRV record lists multiple options? who is supposed to free the inet_err struct, because your example leaks memory? how do you handle attempts to connect over IPv6 on hosts still stuck on IPv4 only?) that I would expect a low-level C interface to be more explicit about.
No. Someone tried that 20-25 years ago (with CDs / music streaming, but the principle’s the same) and got sued into oblivion.

I definitely agree that there's much more to housing prices than most simple analyses present.

Some food for thought in the other direction, though:

- Tools (e.g. nail guns, paint guns, concrete finishers, horizontal drilling for utilities, etc.) and materials (e.g. pre-engineered trusses) are significantly more efficient, so labor costs can be reduced which should drive pricing down. At least enough to offset changes in building codes, but likely more.

- Triple house size does not equal triple building costs.

- I would definitely debate on quality of finishes. Some might be better, but plenty is worse. For example, crown moulding is not as common (in my experience), and skirting is typically much cheaper, and I rarely see chair rails anymore. More often than not I see vinyl floors replicating wood instead of real hardwood floors.

Almost everyone I know and all newspapers I read here, in Argentina, do talk about that. The cost is an inevitable one when you reach 3 digits inflation. Hope we learn our lesson though we didn't in the 2000s when we brought inflation again.

To give anyone reading this perspective, Argentina had inflation for almost 80 years, only a brief pause in the 90s and then again since the 2003. What other way is there?
>A big part of the issue is that workers stopped benefitting from productivity growth in the mid-1990s.

Distributing the benefits of increased productivity to the workers was never part of the capitalist motto. That was what socialism was for.
Because they weren't all in the category you're referring to, of course.

To misunderstand this (and apply the N-word to all of the regime's footsoldiers and helpers) is to fundamentally midunderstand how the dictatorship worked, and got so many millions of ordinary people to trudge along and do its dirty work. Or to at least shut up and try not to think too much about whatever they saw and heard.

Can pebble beds have a cooldown pan similar to a LFTR, where a plug melts and the "pebbles" fall and spread into a pan where they won't stay critical because they are too separated / unconcentrated?

Because the real problem with solid rods is that they ... are solid rods, and if they start "overreacting" you can't split up the rods, unlike a pile of pebbles/spheres.
A better trick is to do the same but not actually jot it down on the list. Then you’re more likely to completely do without it.
My Mum died slowly from lung cancer over almost three years. It spread to basically every organ in her body, she was taking so much chemo they eventually said they had to stop or the chemo would kill her before the cancer would. The intense pain, humiliation and knowing it was a certain death sentence hung over her every single minute of every single day.

> China making it impossible for foreign companies to gain serious ground there independently has been incredibly beneficial, else they wouldn't have done it.

Is it actually protectionism that gives most of the benefit here, or just comparatively cheaper labor costs, massive economies of scale (aided by a huge domestic market), disregard for other countries' IP, and a willingness to make targeted sacrifices (e.g. environmental impact) ?

Like if you're realistically looking at why China became an industrial powerhouse, it's unlikely protectionism is responsible for more than a few % of that success. The rest of it is simply favorable factors that I listed above.

> protectionism is bad by definition is truly one of the biggest deceptions in economy of the post-Reagan era

It is just one of the tools in the toolbox of a country, it's not inherently good or bad. For example they way it worked out for USSR and post-CIS countries is absolutely bad. The way it worked out for China is good. But there are multiple confounding factors at play and you can't look at it in such a simplistic way.
When in borderline hyperinflation, the GDP number is meaningless.

Also, a shrinking economy with normal inflation is better than a growing economy with hyperinflation, because that second is never really growing, just the meaningless number is going up.

> I'm from Argentina and 30 years old..

There’s a saying: “In Argentina, everything changes every day, but if you come back after ten years, nothing has changed.” In your case, you were born around 1994. Until you were about six years old, if you went to the supermarket with your family, you could probably keep track of prices in your head. By the time you were 16, the inflation rate was likely double what it is now. If you ask someone at ~70 years old they will tell you similar stories about cycles of high and "stability".
Let’s go further and:

- take the average household size in 1950 vs 2020 to calculate median house price per person in a household

- then take the average square feet per person and find out what % it has increased in the past 75 years

Then layer those stats on top of the inflation adjustments to hopefully remove some of the confounding factors?
That makes sense. If that is the case it creates yet another question for me. If someone sends for a driver to go shop and pick up the aforementioned items are they culpable?
Let's not forget the social numbers.
