Neat read that I think I will have to come back to. I think it should be clear that religion clearly was not a historical road block to progress. If only because of how religious many of the names we can remember were. I have grown to read

500 a month sounds steep. I'm assuming you live somewhere that requires AC every day? The article referred to driving prices up from 2020 due to making the infrastructure stronger by as much as 30%. Which, yeah, about 150ish of your

Agreed. I'll go further and say that I doubt there is a single set of static rules that will work for anyone.

I think a key facet of good moderation is that it doesn't have to be on content, specifically. Behavior is often more troublesome. We can smirk about "tone police," but it really can make a huge difference.

Agreed. I meant my post to be an "in addition" for your argument. With the concession that I'm sure there are differences in scale.

I'm sure that some of this is influenced by the behavior of the people being moderated? Back to the parks example, it is usually assumed most visitors are in good faith. If there is expectation otherwise, things are usually a bit tou

This seems somewhat disproven by the existence of places like this? Strict moderation really does work wonders to prevent some of the worst behaviors. Not that you won't have problems, even here, from time to time. But it is hard to

Fair that I was definitely mixing them in my thinking. My general point was supposed to be simply that "compile time" is probably not what people are thinking of when coming from other languages. I was clearly a bit too eager to

by taeric 1y ago
The big miss here is that "compile time" is typically understood to be "batch compilation" time for languages. For Common LISP, macros run at read time. Which is often doable during runtime.

No doubt it is not a 100% accurate poll. But hard to think it hasn't gone up? If only from the legal sales numbers. More, you'd be surprised at how many people would have told pollsters, even in 2010s, that they were doing thing

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking this is specifically a good thing. A better relationship with drinking is not something to argue against, of course. But I find the dysfunction in so many people that take a strong stance against it rathe

Did you keep up the weight lifting?

Leading in with what feels like a p-hacked question that almost certainly isn't typical kind of hurts the point. Reminds me of seeing clearly rehearsed demos for things that ignore the reason it worked is because it was rehearsed. A

To add to this, anywhere you are showing numbers on a website, I'd recommend getting `Intl.NumberFormat` in use as soon as you can.

Right, that assertion did not intend on bad intentions of this research. Just pointing out that you can get a selection bias on open calls, as well.

I think the assertion is that most people basically don't feel they have anything special genetically. As such, most people just aren't entering these databases that are opt-in. Contrast this to people that do have a genetic oddi

But that is part of my point. This is not actually the conflict. Progress by leaps is often only possible in places that are also making repeated incremental progress. It is tempting to think of this in terms of sports. As an easy exampl

The pretense here is that we actually know what leads to long term progress? As much as it pains people to admit it, short term results are often far more predictive of long term results than any other single data point. Is it perfect? No

Hmm... I thought I just took the basic google, but that seems to give a different result now. Maybe I just fat fingered copying into here, not sure. I know that my main assertion there was it was a relatively lower number. Adding it to th

I have to confess I'm not sure. :( Searching for vacancy rate shows that is around 9%. I would expect these are owned by someone, though, such that I don't know why they would not be counted as investments? Doing the same search

Don't forget that apartments are a thing. And are far far cheaper than houses. Both in terms of direct rental costs, and in terms of upkeep. Heck, the plumbing and electric are probably magnitudes cheaper to maintain for an apartmen

I don't disagree? Just noting that that is largely not in this number.

The abundance crowd aiming to lower some regulations, though, is directly in this lane. Like, specifically so. One of their complaints is that it costs so much for the public sphere to build cheap housing. No?
714.
by taeric 1y ago
This kind of cuts to the problem of conflating housing to houses. Most short term living is almost certainly better served by things other than stand alone houses. Is why colleges are dominated by dorms.

It would probably be easier to understand if worded the other way? 81% of California houses are owner occupied.

by taeric 1y ago
Fair. I would still expect more leaning in to the abundance discourse, though?

Somewhat glad to see this getting coverage. I question the use of "decimated" here, as it feels a bit misplaced? "How States and Cities Regulated Out ..." would have worked really well?

I'm sympathetic. But the problem with trying to get away from something where the base item has "350+ properties" is that it almost certainly has a competing number of stakeholders/usecases that it supports. That is to

Is amusing to see the top comment on the site be about how Common LISP approached this. And hard not to agree with it. I don't understand how we had super dynamic systems decades ago that were easier to optimize than people care to un

Agreed. The idea that moving state out of the document is a touch frustrating to me. Seemed to me that the entire point of a tree of data was to store the state as data?
