In addition, if you are buying the second home to rent out, then you have to add the rental income as a return on investment. In practice any form of ownership to use yourself is avoiding a form of paying rent, and any ownership not meant f

In many places landlords cannot suddenly jack up the price, but can only increase it in small amounts year by year. One could similarly imagine rent controls on digital services, where sudden price hikes are simply not allowed, and terminat

Singapore relies heavily on cheap foreign construction workers. In order for that model to be applied in SF would require opening the Mexican border to allow for cheap immigrant workers to come to SF. That’s not going to fly for many reason

Unless it is actively preserved for the entire duration I doubt any modern concrete building will survive 2000 years. Brickwork may last that long, depending on the quality of the masonry. There is definitely some selection bias with ancien

Are there even that many “normal” ads? When I tally up all the ads for scams, and the ads for games that in turn are funded by ads, and the ads for the things I just looked at and decided not to buy, I get a sneaking suspicion the online ad

This is why I prefer thinking about root solutions rather than root causes. The answer to the question “how can we make sure something like this cannot happen again?” (for a reasonably wide definition of this). The nice thing is that there

Security was indeed an issue, but I feel flash’s performance reputation was largely undeserved. Yes, it was cpu-hungry, too intense to run on the mobile hardware of the day, but that’s because it did things html5 couldn’t. You could do smoo

This article from 2016 explains the problem: https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays/ Basically, the ideal PPI of mac displays is a multiple of 110 PPI. So, for retina quality you need a display of roughly

I think it’s more of a “the market won’t pay for quality” problem. People won’t pay thousands of euros for a good monitor, so manufacturers have to slap together the parts available in bulk in order to reach price points people will pay. Th

My experience is very different. I have a standard install of chrome on big sur, as well as brave, and a bunch of electron apps. When I start up my mac none of these are running, there is no process with chrome or chromium in the name, and

Noise canceling heaphones used passively often sound a lot worse, because they can’t soundshape their way out of a suboptimal earshell and speaker design. Apple probably felt that either they had to compromise too much on the shape, or on t

The magic comes from proprietary protocols. My airpods pro switch devices intuitively, but when I pair them to my windows laptop with bluetooth things don’t work so smoothly anymore and they are just as cumbersome as any bluetooth headset.

For me the biggest downside of spatial audio is that it's iphone or ipad only. You have to choose between a big sound or a big image, but you can't get both. If I had spatial audio on my imac, I would consider it a valuable featur

So basically until displays advertise their physical specifications to Windows, and the Windows display stack takes advantage of that to auto-calibrate, it cannot match this kind of output. I wonder what happens if you try this on the LG 5K

If the ARM chipmakers haven’t bothered to invest to catch up to Apple’s A series in order to compete better in the large phone and tablet market, they’re not likely to invest to catch up to the harder to reach M series in the smaller PC mar

For web inspector you can load eruda console into any page via a bookmarklet. It’s not the same as a native inspector, but it has proven handy in a pinch. https://eruda.liriliri.io/

When you use the camera, do you use it in landscape or portrait? I find that anything I do in portrait I prefer doing on my phone, and everything I use the camera for on the ipad ends up in landscape, which makes the camera always at the wr

I think you’re right. I’ve only ever needed 32 gb when I was running a local hadoop cluster for development. Those virtual images required the same amount of ram regardless of OS.

This feeling of roundedness reminds me of APL385 / APL386. https://abrudz.github.io/APL386/ I’ve always liked the look, but I use Fira Code in practice because it is more readable and narrower.

Windows on ARM also runs x86 apps via translation, but in their marketing materials they call it emulation. x86 emulation works by compiling blocks of x86 instructions into ARM64 instructions with optimizations to improve performance. A se

What gpu offers the same power efficiency as the one in the m1? Apple is matching the 75w 1050ti with less than 5w of power. The 3060ti is a 200w gpu, which is 40x the power draw of the gpu in the m1, but it is only 5x the performance. Gpu’

This is the lower end model. Apple kept the higher end intel mini in the line-up, which means they intend to replace that with something more powerful, which may add the 10G option.
