It’s one of several factors that could mean the prices seen by the median person looking for a house are worse than that 4% median house price increase suggests. To take it to an extreme to illustrate why this may matter, if one town gets a

> The boomers had everything worse. When they were born, something like two thirds of them had indoor plumbing. And a third of them did not. Yeah, I know, I’ve hand-pumped water at the well my dad used growing up. The ‘40s and ‘50s were

Yeah, if urbanism/centralization (of where people live and also the economy) increased over the same period, the raw figures may give a misleading picture of what things are really like. There are a lot or rural towns that have been

Yeah, to be clear, I don’t mean that as a “them damned boomers!” post. They’re not to blame for circumstances conspiring to put life on (relatively) easy mode for them. If they’re guilty of anything (at least, many of them) it’s failing to

My dad (high school diploma) blundered through his 20s with a series of gigs and barely-paying-the-bills solo businesses, had an expensive divorce (kids in the mix, too), a kid out of wedlock, then finally got his career going as he approac

Could’ve sworn (HBO) Max and Disney don’t work through it, either.

The big one-step-forward-five-steps-back UI redesign was before the acquisition, wasn’t it?

I clicked because I was excited to see the story of their unexpected interaction with the FCC and FAA (or local equivalents) due to putting out that much EM radiation in those spectra. But no. Still cool, though.

This is not, cannot be, and shouldn’t be math. Yes, it’s all “arbitrary”. Unhealthy impulse-items at the checkout are going to be regarded as quite unethical, by a lot of people, for really obvious reasons. The approaches you’re trying to u

If one course of action that does not even add more options of products to buy , just pushes them in a different way, contributes to worse health outcomes across a population, and you know it’s doing so, yes, that’s super unethical.

I’d happily pay $50/m for a streaming service with a single UI that had all the shit my piracy server does, and a guarantee that things won’t disappear (or at least a track record of that rarely happening). Hell, I might pay as much as

Lots of the genre TV shows these days—like the Netflix Marvel stuff, or most of the Star Wars or Disney Marvel tv shows—can only be saved by fan edits because of the absurdly slow plotting, used to stretch a bit over a movie of plot to fil

The ethical distance between this and littering is about as large as the one between littering and murder, though. If it’s unethical, it’s somewhere around running a stoplight that’s plainly not registering your presence and hasn’t turned f

My favorite thing about Go is that I can read a dependency’s source and there’s a very low probability that the author favors some totally different 30% of the language than I’m accustomed to, so I find it illegible without great effort. Or

If the startup’s too small or too distributed, may not be available. 50 employees within 75 miles or it doesn’t apply.

A lot like Melancholia . Or that one short story about discovering the light of another star was about to reach us… and getting the predictions of its intensity very wrong.

Great to have two “work trees” when you’re often called in to troubleshoot or help with other branches. Sometimes handy during merges, too.

One of the episodes of Stranger Things took like a one-minute break to do a soda ad. Probably the most jarring and disruptive “produce placement” (but really, it was more of an embedded ad) that I’ve seen.

You can check out multiple branches in different directories from a single git repo. This saves me a lot of what used to be stashing.

It appears to be in a browser, which really shouldn’t be providing enough info to make this possible. I take it as a commentary on how information-leaky browsers are, though I’m not sure that’s the intent.

We got accustomed to it, but it never stopped feeling super weird, I think, somewhere deep in our heads. A wall of faces staring at your neck is not what any real in-person thing feels like. A wall of facings looking in your eyes isn’t, e
