This is an excellent problem to have. Falls squarely into what Jason Cohen describes in this article as "the errors that mean you're doing it right": https://longform.asmartbear.com/good-problems-to-have?utm_s

This is simple math that is true in every state. The median price is of course different in Cali. And different in Montana. And different in every state. We're discussing "Americans" as a whole here.

Is it stockholm syndrome if I leave ruby and years later still wish I had symbols in other languages?

Totally agree - just think it's important to work with statistically realistic figures when discussing these sorts of things.

As mentioned in my post "this ignores taxes and insurance". OP just said mortgage payment so I was only looking at that specifically. Taxes and insurance varies wildly by location.

A 4k payment is a ~$580k house at 7.5%. Median home price is $387,600 as of November '23, for a payment of $2716. Not to say things aren't tough out there. Just that a $4k mortgage is still 30%+ more than what people can expect to

I guess I'll ask the dumb question - why not use Javascript directly instead of Jsonnette?

Would disagree. I write in other languages and I find things tough to read. There are things about ruby I find tough to read (like `unless`) and know many other people who agree. Symbols work just fine in practice.

Ruby uses symbols (strings prefixed with a semicolon) very liberally. It’s just a value literal. Ive never met anyone who writes Ruby that has an issue with the readability of it.

This is pretty standard Ruby stuff. It’s different for sure. But works really nicely in practice.

Makes me ponder the question - what’s the worst you could do to a sql database without using those strings (at least not directly). They don’t prohibit semi colons so there’s still some potential here.

I’m just responding to the headline. “Google is tracking you even in incognito mode ”. This has always been true. You’re welcome to whatever outrage you feel like. I’m just pointing out that nothing has changed. They were just forced to pu

I switched to arc.net recently and it’s been pretty great.

Google has always tracked me incognito. That’s never been what incognito is about.

Reminds me of the HFT shop that built in Java and simply turned the garbage collector off. Then when the market closed they would restart the process for the next day.

Yea this is fair. Nobody has found a more reliable proxy at scale is what I should have said.

by rco8786 3y ago
As always, it's an imperfect proxy. Nothing more, nothing less. But nobody has found a more reliable proxy yet.

There's going to a be a huge market for consultants to unwind people's cloud stacks and go back to simpler on-prem/colo (or Heroku-like) deployments in the coming years.

What is your purpose with these posts?
714.
by rco8786 3y ago
You got flagged bc you’re a jerk about it. For what it’s worth. If you come to disagree and have a civil discussion that’s typically fine. But your posts are condescending and needlessly inflammatory.

Your Windows 95 story definitely resonates. I installed Windows XP so many times that I had not only the pirated key memorized, but I would start moving my mouse toward the next button before it had even appeared on screen. People used to b

One of the arguments is that existing $ in strings would have to be escaped. Every other language supported $ in strings before interpolation appeared. Not Java specific. Every other language is susceptible to SQL injection style attacks. N

All super weak arguments IMO. Problems that somehow every other language doesn’t have?

In a word, horrible. Classic Java though. Take a well established pattern, implement it 10 years late, and somehow make it worse.

I was not ready for that twist but honestly it wouldn’t completely shock me if he did it.
