With realtors taking a 10% cut on each transaction? Or do you envision a more liquid market with less paperwork? What about escrow, inspections, and handling disputes on large transactions? BTW in the US, a big advantage of renting is not h

I don't understand this school of thought? Without renting everyone would have to buy a house / apartment on each move.

I find it interesting that this line of adventure quickly lead to locking problems.

A funny quirk about golang is you cannot have circular dependencies at the package level, but you can have circular dependencies in go.mod The tl;dr is don't do that either.

It's becoming a bit like iphone 3, 4... 13, 25... Ok they are all phones that run apps and have a camera. I'm not an "AI power user", but I do talk to ChatGPT + Grok for daily tasks and use copilot. The big step function

right, freedom of speech is free as long as it agrees with the viewpoint of who's in power. similar to how history is written by victors but this part is conveniently ignored. it's just facts in the open marketplace of ideas yay!

the difference here is if you search or seek something, i.e. explicitly consent to viewing advertisements for guitar in your active browsing session vs them being pushed to you without your consent the next day on your phone. I'm not a

don't you think it is empowering and aspiring for artists? they can try several drafts of their work instantaneously, checking out various compositions etc before even starting the manual art process. they could even input/train i

oh they hate it so much when this hypocrisy is pointed out. better put the high school kids downloading books on pirate bay in jail but I guess if your name starts with Alt and ends in man then there's an alt set of rules for you. also

just an example of bureaucracy at work. this what happens when you centralize all decision making to people who have no local knowledge of the community they are administrating, and predicate their jobs on following a checklist, usually as

Yes and the open source models + local inference are progressing rapidly. This whole API idea is kind of limited by the fact that you need to RT to a datacenter + trust someone with all your data. Imagine when OpenAI has their 23&me mom

deferring to best practice instead of best judgement is a major plague of the software industry these days. best practices usually come from giant companies with tens of thousands of engineers like google (who doesn't seem to be keepin

this doesn't always work. many things can go wrong in distributed systems and you cannot test for all of them. also you have no control of your dependencies like when AWS networking degrades or a 3rd party API provider changes their AP

Sure, in many languages we have the notation of thing.do_thing(arg1, arg2). I suggest this is a good notation for data structures like, stack.push(10) or heap.pop() I'm suggesting we don't use this notation for things like rules t

this isn't what I would call an abstraction, that's creating a named type. named types are simple because their algebra is also simple and their maintenance cost is low. problem is more when you have types that "do things&quo

I'm a big fan of primitive types, in particular byte arrays. It's okay to create a new data structure that combines some primitive data types in a "struct", like an array that tracks its length. But we don't want to

Kind of disagree with this article, when you add a "noun" (aka type), you're often introducing a new abstraction. Abstractions have a maintenance cost associated with it ie, another developer or possibly yourself must be able

this is a great video to rewatch whenever interacting with non-technical stakeholders. IMO the "microservices" architecture is kind of a failure from an economic perspective. On top of many of the talks like this one [0], which di

Actually I think we will be writing more of the verification coding and allowing the solution to be re-written as necessary by AI.

the core idea is to model the state and valid state transitions formally (which may be more directly applicable to the audio driver), so they can be enumerated exhaustively up to a certain bound. it may be that a bug only shows when hundred

If you specify the operations (API) of your system in a relational algebra, then you can use that algebra to generate valid state transitions. (this essentially can construct the tree of continuations the article is discussing or enumerate

Copying other people's behavior to influence them to like us more is both so irrationally insane yet so evolutionarily encoded in us.

And how can you attribute this decline to specific laws? Seems it could be a result of many things such as public education & cancer outcomes becoming obvious.

I think they are counting the autocomplete as well. Yeah when I write golang, and write: result, err := foo(thing) it's gonna autocomplete: if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("%w: could not foo: %v", err, thing) }

Not sure what the stigma around blockchain energy usage is? Other than bitcoin which remains a large proof of work network, most of the large public blockchains now use a proof of stake mechanism or other forms of consensus that can and do
