people on the internet were pissed about steam in 2003

terraform and vault are both sticky products

it's too expensive to move with closing costs and realtor fees :( It's almost always better to buy the most expensive house you can if you you still have a way to increase your earning potential in your career. if you could move without a 6% fee and $xx,xxx financial fees it would definitely be better for everyone overall except the industries who have inserted themselves into these transactions

just makes the prices higher... you qualify for a house based on ratio of income to payment. so the demand is heavily influenced by the type of financing available..

Other than natural demand, Australia has a high real estate market due to the tax and a superannuation/pension distortions. Should try to fix those first. (probably impossible)

the mustang mach e is a purpose built EV. not a mustang with a battery back stuck in.

Nah it's a skill issue. They don't know how and don't want to learn.

at work I don't need MS at all. It's just used because the IT department prefers it to manage things. I wish we could just use Fedora or Ubuntu.

I've never used teams, what's bad about it? my newco is moving from webex to teams for video but keeping slack. I'm a bit worried keeping slack is a short term thing.

This makes Dallas much more viable. I'm not sure if I'd have a usecase for waymo other than going to the airport. The other use cases such as going to work when my car is in the shop require the freeway too. Only non freeway thing I'd use it for otherwise is coming home from a neighborhood party or local restaurant/bar when I've been drinking and I don't really drink.

Time change was last week in London :)

austin had such an insane explosion of supply. but they also have a price explosion just a couple years ago. probably going to see something similar with respect to GPU rentals in a couple years

usually prices dont go down. the cost does relative to inflation. what usually happens is a new investor will do the analysis and build new units that are even more expensive but only slightly. now all the current tenants that can afford it will leave the current landlords and the current landlords wont be able to increase prices because there is a better product at that price level.

I prefer using kubectl than any other method so i have plenty of functions to help with that. I'd never consider using python or go for this although I do have plenty of python and go "scripts" on my path too.

im not sure how youre getting around the physics of white lint on dark clothing. and i separate plastic clothing from cotton or wool clothing because cotton usually just gets machine dried but i dont want to put my wool or plastic clothing through that process because its not necessary.

rainbow spaces/tabs too

Erased the spending power of my savings (investments) as well.

that's cool. those apps are one google backend update away from death though :/

The large flac/mp3 collect I have from my ripped CDs is the reason I even consider it. I just find the toil to be not worth it over minor foibles I have with streaming music. It would sure be nice though to have the time.. I operate software at work for a living. I don't want to come home and operate it too :( Was all about it in HS and college though.

I'm not sure it's possible to expand the housing supply. Inflation has made the cost of constructing new housing almost impossible. In fact he even has a graph comparing cpi to case shiller. I would argue that case shiller correctly models inflation where as CPI has been neutered and is no longer an effective model of inflation.

Basically we're at a point where used housing is actually far more valuable than list price because it would be absolutely impossible to rebuild any used house for anywhere near the amount it sold for.

I really want to do this but like any hobby it takes too much time. My biggest frustration as a youtube music user is that the app doesn't appreciate that it might not always have a good internet connection and takes forever to fallback to your downloads when loading the library.

If I used an open source app or my own app I could fix this stupid bug but I don't have any control. :(

In-N-Out has a huge footprint in DFW btw. I agree with you on their commitment to quality but as I understand it their growth is slow because they don't take outside investment or loans and they need enough capital to open a regional footprint of stores because they do their own distribution.

oh cool thanks. max 45% coverage is pretty low. I guess I must be thinking of some very specific developments that must have gotten variances.

yes bigger houses to an extent are way more profitable because there is a somewhat linear relationship between sqft and value but houses have a lot of fixed cost. there's probably a sweet spot around 2500sqft in suburban/exurban Dallas Fort Worth to maximize the market for the house and still generate low $/sqft such that the guy building something bigger next tract over isn't crushing you on $/sqft.

that 2500sqft house is still $200-250/sqft way out in the middle of nowhere where the land doesn't really even factor in much.

i hope the next part of his article covers the zoning issues. because I'm certainly not seeing the zoning issues making the homes be on bigger lots or requiring things like 3 car garages? If anything the lots in new tract developments in dallas fort worth are smaller and have less land using features like they don't have alleys. and then in Dallas city limits any small slice of land that can possibly be used for new houses have way smaller lots than any neighboring decades old homes.

the only instance I can think of that I know of is there as a historical black neighborhood near love field airport where Dallas changed the zoning to make redevelopment less profitable by requiring the houses take up less of the lot. This way developers can't build huge houses to offset the fact that the land is expensive or they can't build duplexes big enough to make them worth selling either. In fact there were a few duplexes going in to replace detached SFH and the developers were left in the lurch. I think even had to tear them down? I never followed up on the story. This was basically a policy to prevent gentrification by making the land less valuable by policy. Unfortunately gentrification and yimbyism seem like they go hand in hand because if you can develop bigger or more dense the property value goes up and people scream.

Where I can see regulation getting in the way is in the new codes. You can't build a house like you could in the 50s-70s anymore The code today is insanely expensive. Now those 70s houses weren't great. But they aren't didn't cost $200-300+/sqft at the low end.

in my view new single family housing can never be affordable because the cost is just so high. in fact. generic home ownership is as unaffordable as ever due to inflation. call a plumber to fix a leaky faucet? That will be $300. A new fence? $10k. A new HVAC system? $20k. A roof? $12k. These are all real costs for "small" homes. At least in the rental scenario the costs are controlled because not every single thing is a one-off. There are efficiencies at scale. If it's a housing rental company your maintenance guy is on a route, if it's an apartment you have building maintenance, etc.. The roof repair is a contract worth a million bucks where every roof is only $8000 instead of $12000.

my mothers first title was inexperienced assistant in her public accounting firm

TI does

isnt there a clause in the slack contract you cant use the slack api to pull data to train an AI

I think it’s just lazy reporting as JILA google search comes up with those exact words but the insult is that you would ordinarily just say The University of Colorado, or say JILA at The.. Leaving it out completely is quite a diss but probably not intentional.

the evoluent vertical mouse I use has a notorious short lifespan because the switches aren't debounced or aren't debounced for a long enough period after only a year or two of wear. i demonstrated on an arduino that additional debouncing logic could fix the issue transparently to the user but never went further than that.

There was a clear, large cost savings and risk improvements with the project. The project was actually easy on the requirements front. They put all new non critical features on hold for 2 years and there was no question on the requirements: The new system's data must match the old system's data except for any bug fixes or agreed upon changes.
