The network effect of the prices going up seems to permit the appraisers to add their bumps up as well. I don't think it's as influenced by appraisers as some think, and it might vary by region a bit. If prices in a region are r

The closest we get is something like USDS, which then gets hijacked in to DOGE. Open source software built and supported by a national government is inspiring. Are there more examples of this I'm not aware of? I hope so.

Watched the youtube video - gives a decent overview. Linking that generated video file here would be useful to give people an idea of the output up front. This is something I wish I'd had about 15 years ago when I was teaching online.

Thank you for your service! ;) Seriously, thanks for the details. This was a bit of a pivotal game for me in ... '86 IIRC. It's been interesting to see so much of a following over the decades. Just confirms that whatever was i

Very curious how Mark Moxon was able to understand and comment so much of the code. Just... a very big fan with a lot of free time? No idea how this will be formatted, but the level of understanding in the comments is quite deep for just h

Math problems usually have one right/wrong answer. Many interview 'challenges' have multiple ways of doing something correctly. Without necessarily knowing any more about the context of a problem beyond a few sentences, you

I still can't do things that I can't do, because at zombo.com, I am my own limit.

You could do ANYTHING at zombo.com, if I remember correctly. At zombo.com, anything was possible. EDIT: There is one limit at zombo.com. The limit is myself.

I've started testing with vultr some because they offer affordable fractional GPUs. I think I had something running for about $60/month with a 'real' GPU. 1/24th a GPU, IIRC, but... better than nothing. DO and li

Similar here. Good friend of many years - his mother passed a few years back, then his dad earlier this year. In both cases it was relatively sudden, but the compounding factor is I live 800 miles away. In both cases, I debated whether t

I get it. I didn't say anything at my grandfather's funeral, although I was this close. I just... didn't. Easier in that moment to stay seated for a few extra seconds, but it bothered me. Years later, at my grandmother&

I'm pretty sure a tablet was released, then scrapped sometime in the first month or so after release - TouchPad, IIRC? It got no support from HP or Palm. I seem to remember a quote from some exec saying something like "the mark

A friend of mine did something similar-but-smaller a few years back. Told me he had the idea and mapped it out, but didn't estimate it well. Rough estimate was maybe 10 or so miles, but it turned out to be over 20, but halfway throug

I was initially going to add some stuff I find a bit... shocking in the 2020s related to what I think are basic database stuff (maybe not specifically 4nf related). Held off, but I'll add one. A colleague had to argue that an 'ad

I left a project in 2003. I can still hit their web login page, and I still see something specific in the URL I put there. I've no doubt they've upgraded some stuff behind the scenes, but they've likely not done huge overha

Somewhat contrary to my own comment below, migrating PHP upwards can be painful, but some of that stems from who's involved. I'm brought in on PHP upgrade projects, and often the code is 10+ years old, and no one who wrote it

I had code I wrote for someone in 2002 (php4) still running in 2017 (php 5.x). It broke trying to go to 7, and it was a small area that broke. It was core, so broke everything, but it had to do with re-assigning of $this at runtime. I th
